Accessories: Accessories sold separately; availability varies by region.
Apple Intelligence: Apple Intelligence is available with Siri and device language set to Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, or Vietnamese. Some features may not be available in all regions or languages. Some devices may not be available in all regions.
Apps: Some apps and services may require a subscription. Some software sold separately.
Chips: Configuration availability may vary.
Clustered Compute: Testing conducted by Apple in July 2026 using preproduction Mac Studio systems with Apple M5 Ultra, 36‑core CPU, 80‑core GPU, 512GB of unified memory, and 1TB SSD. LLM summarization completion time measured with a 32K‑token prompt using a 72‑billion parameter dense model, mlx‑lm, and MLX framework; performance compared between a single system and a 4‑node full‑mesh cluster with each system connected to the other three via Thunderbolt 5 and RDMA. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac Studio.
Display: Screen size is measured diagonally. Actual diagonal screen size of the 24‑inch iMac is 23.5 inches. The displays on the MacBook Neo, 13‑inch and 15‑inch MacBook Air, and 14‑inch and 16‑inch MacBook Pro have rounded corners at the top. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screens are 13.0 inches, 13.6 inches, 15.3 inches, 14.2 inches, and 16.2 inches diagonally (actual viewable area is less).
Feature, App, and Service Availability: Features are subject to change. Some features, applications, and services may not be available in all regions or languages.
Power and Battery: Battery life varies by use and configuration. See apple.com/batteries for more information.
Storage: 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
Thunderbolt 5: When configured with M5 Ultra, the two USB‑C ports support Thunderbolt 5 at up to 120Gb/s.
Touch ID: Magic Keyboard with Touch ID is included with iMac (M4) systems with 10‑core GPU, iMac (M3) systems with 10‑core GPU, and iMac (M1) systems with 8‑core GPU. It is available as an option on iMac (M3) systems with 8‑core GPU and iMac (M1) systems with 7‑core GPU.
Up to 10.7x Faster AI Compute with Neural Accelerators in the GPU than Mac Studio with M1 Max: Testing conducted by Apple in July 2026 using preproduction Mac Studio systems with Apple M5 Max, 18‑core CPU, 40‑core GPU, and 128GB of unified memory, as well as production Mac Studio systems with Apple M4 Max, 16‑core CPU, 40‑core GPU, and 128GB of unified memory, and Mac Studio systems with Apple M1 Max, 10‑core CPU, 32‑core GPU, and 64GB of unified memory, all configured with 8TB SSD. Time to first token measured with an 8K‑token prompt using a 14‑billion parameter model with 4‑bit quantization, and LM Studio v0.4.19+2. Mac Studio systems tested with an attached 5K display. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac Studio.
Up to 2.4x Faster Multithreaded CPU Performance than Mac Studio with M1 Ultra: Testing conducted by Apple in July 2026 using preproduction Mac Studio systems with Apple M5 Ultra, 36‑core CPU, 80‑core GPU, and 512GB of unified memory, as well as production Mac Studio systems with Apple M3 Ultra, 32‑core CPU, 80‑core GPU, and 512GB of unified memory, and Mac Studio systems with Apple M1 Ultra, 20‑core CPU, 64‑core GPU, and 128GB of unified memory, all configured with 8TB SSD.
