The headline change is a redesigned high-end MacBook Pro in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes featuring a touchscreen and OLED display — both firsts for the Mac. The refresh also includes new iMacs, a MacBook Air, updated Mac mini and Mac Studio models with upgraded chips, and a budget MacBook Neo. The driving force behind the overhaul is surging AI demand: Mac mini and Mac Studio have found an unexpected audience among developers running compute-heavy AI agents, with some orders delayed three months due to supply shortages. Mac prices have risen sharply, with a fully loaded 16-inch MacBook Pro now reaching $9,999. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Is Apple making a MacBook with a touchscreen? Yes, Apple is releasing a redesigned high-end MacBook in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes with a touchscreen and an OLED panel, both firsts for the Mac lineup. It is expected to launch between the end of this year and early next year, and macOS is being tuned so on-screen controls enlarge when tapped. _Track Apple's touchscreen MacBook rollout and hardware changes as they're reported on daily.dev._ ### Why are Mac mini and Mac Studio hard to buy right now? Demand has outrun supply because people running compute-heavy AI agents have adopted the Mac mini and Mac Studio for their processing power and ability to connect with other systems. Some new orders are taking three months to ship, and new chip upgrades for both models are delayed by a memory chip shortage that has also driven up prices industry-wide. _Developers relying on Mac hardware for AI workloads can follow supply and pricing shifts on daily.dev._ ### How much does a fully loaded 16-inch MacBook Pro cost after Apple's price increases? A fully loaded 16-inch MacBook Pro costs $9,999 following Apple's across-the-board Mac price increases in June. The hikes stem partly from a memory chip shortage that has squeezed manufacturing costs across the lineup, including the entry-level $699 MacBook Neo. _Buyers weighing Mac purchases against rising prices can keep up with pricing news on daily.dev._ ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@fabianletsch** · 2 upvotes > So for the last ten years the idea of a touchscreen macbook would have been an abomination (According to their reasoning) and now they are switching to it? > > > What changed?! **@ezee** · 2 upvotes > Another step closer to all their devices being the same.
