The topic Apple working on M7 Ultra Mac Studio for 2028 with potential major upgrade: report<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Later this year, Apple will be debuting an updated version of the Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips \u2013 a long awaited refresh. The current Mac Studio, released in early 2025, includes an M4 Max and M3 Ultra chip, so at least on the high end, it\u2019s pretty behind.<\/p>\n

according to the data Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman, the M5-based Mac Studio, which should just be a chip upgrade, is still on track to launch this year. Looking ahead to 2028, there may be more interesting changes in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been in the market for a Mac Studio, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve already felt enough pain. Between incredibly long wait times due to a demand surge and lack of supply, the fact that the computer is already dated with the M3 Ultra chip, and the fact that you\u2019ll now have to stomach much higher prices thanks to the recent price hike.<\/p>\n

I know, stop me if you\u2019ve already heard this \u2013 but a new Mac Studio should be coming soon. Reports from last year stated that this refresh should\u2019ve been on market by around WWDC. That went out the window once the memory crisis arose, but nonetheless, a longer wait is never fun.<\/p>\n

Luckily, your wait should be over soon, with the M5 Ultra version being \u201cdue this year,\u201d per Mark Gurman. There won\u2019t be any sort of design overhaul with this new design, just new chips. The next iteration, though, could be a different story.<\/p>\n

In 2028, Apple has some more interesting changes in the pipeline for Mac Studio, which should be equipped with the M7 Ultra. In case you missed it, Apple is reportedly skipping all of the high end chips with the M6 family, so there\u2019ll be a base M6 but no M6 Pro, Max, or Ultra. From the report:<\/p>\n

There are two Mac Studio updates in Apple\u2019s pipeline: an M5 Ultra version due this year and an M7 Ultra update targeted for 2028. I\u2019m told Apple has also been working on internal changes to the high-powered desktop, including a better heat sink to improve thermal performance as the machine takes on more demanding on-device AI workloads. I\u2019m not expecting a major redesign, at least not with the M5 Ultra model.<\/p>\n

A better heatsink is most definitely a welcome addition to anyone who\u2019s already pushing their Mac Studio to its limits, though it isn\u2019t clear if this change is in reference to the M5 Ultra model or the M7 Ultra model.<\/p>\n

Gurman also mentioned the possibility of the M7 Ultra model receiving a redesign, though he also noted that Apple tends to keep desktop designs around for a long time.<\/p>\n

All in all, if you\u2019re a Mac Studio fan or prospective buyer, hopefully this is some positive news for you.<\/p>\n
