Apple Raises 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro Top Price to $10,149

3 articles · Updated · Wccftech · Jul 9

Summary

  • $10,149 is now the listed price for Apple’s top-spec 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro, up $950 from $9,199 a day earlier for the same 8TB SSD and 128GB memory configuration.
  • Apple’s latest increase follows broader hardware price hikes tied to rising RAM and storage costs, with the maxed-out model becoming a five-figure purchase.
  • Reddit user Hovscorpion, who tracked prices since June 25, flagged the change; some commenters suggested Apple may have shown supplemental regional surcharges in parts of the U.S.
  • John Gruber had already cited a $10,149 price for the top-end 16-inch model on June 25, underscoring uncertainty over whether the jump was a fresh increase or a fuller regional price display.
  • The shift suggests Apple’s higher component-cost pricing is sticking, leaving late buyers paying far more for fully configured MacBook Pro models.
