Mac Studio 2026: M5 Max and M5 Ultra specs, prices and benchmarks
Macworld New Mac Studio 2026: At a glance Whats new: The 2026 Mac Studio gains M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips, dramatically faster AI and graphics performance, faster SSD storage, increased memory bandwidth, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and enhanced professional connectivity. Release date : Announced on August 25, 2026 On sale : Shipping from September 22, 2026, but the Mac Studio with 512GB of unified memory is coming in late October. Price : From $2,499/2,499 In August 2026, Apple launched a new Mac Studio to replace the M4 Max and M3 Ultra model introduced 17 months previously. The 2026 Mac Studio retains its familiar compact design, but our testing reveals substantial improvements inside particularly in SSD speed and graphics performance. The previous generation mixed chip generations, pairing M4 Max with M3 Ultra. The new models bring both tiers into the M5 family: M5 Max offers an 18-core CPU and up to a 40-core GPU, while M5 Ultra scales to a 36-core CPU and 80-core GPU. Both feature Neural Accelerators built into every GPU core to boost AI processing. Our M5 Max Mac Studio review found approximately 23 percent higher multicore performance in Geekbench 7 and 33 percent higher GPU rendering performance in Cinebench 2024 compared with the tested M4 Max Studio. Storage delivered the biggest leap: our 4TB configuration achieved approximately 2.7 times the read throughput and 2.2 times the write throughput. Results vary by workload, however, with our video export and encoding tests showing more modest improvements. For M5 Ultra, Apple claims up to 1.3 times the CPU performance, 1.8 times the graphics performance and 4.3 times the AI compute performance of M3 Ultra, depending on the workload and configuration. When is the new Mac Studio available? The new Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra was announced on August 25, 2026. Shipping of most configurations began on September 22. Apple has confirmed that Mac Studio models configured with 512GB of unified memory will ship in late October. You can order the new Mac Studio from Apple, but you may find it discounted elsewhere. We recommend: Apple Mac Studio (M5 Max, 2026) Price When Reviewed: $2,499 Best Prices Today: $2,449.99 at Amazon | $2499 at Apple We recommend: Apple Mac Studio (M5 Ultra, 2026) Price When Reviewed: $5,499 Best Prices Today: $5499 at Apple How much does the new Mac Studio cost? Model Price from M5 Max, 36GB, 512GB $2,499 / 2,499 M5 Ultra, 96GB, 1TB $5,499 / 5,499 Higher-priced configurations include an M5 Max with a 40-core GPU and up to 128GB of unified memory, or an M5 Ultra with an 80-core GPU and up to 512GB of unified memory. Has the Mac Studio price gone up? In June 2026, Apple raised the starting price of the Mac Studio by $500, from $1,999 to $2,499. The M3 Ultra model saw an even steeper increase, rising $1,300 from its $3,999 launch price to $5,299. The hikes were part of broader increases across the Mac lineup, which Apple attributed to sharply higher component costs, particularly RAM. The new M5 Max Mac Studio remains at the June price of $2,499, but the M5 Ultra model has risen by another $200 to $5,499. That makes it $1,500 more expensive than the previous-generation Ultra model was when it launched in March 2025. Heres a breakdown of the key price changes for the Mac Studio: Model Original Price June Price M5 Update price M4 Max, 36GB, 512GB $1,999 / 2,099 $2,499 / 2,499 $2,499 / 2,499 M3 Ultra, 96GB, 1TB $3,999 / 4,199 $5,299 / 5,299 $5,499 / 5,499 When it comes to high prices, the M5 Ultra Mac Studio is filling the gap left by the removal of the Mac Pro from the line up back in March 2026. Mac Studio M5 Max and M5 Ultra specs Petter Ahrnstedt Mac Studio moves to M5 Max and M5 Ultra, with up to a 36-core CPU, 80-core GPU, 512GB unified memory and 1.2TB/s memory bandwidth. Storage now uses PCIe Gen 6 for twice the performance, while connectivity adds Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and USB-C genlock. Processor: M5 Ultra and M5 Max chip compared The Mac Studio comes with either Apples Max or Ultra chips. The Max chip is aimed at demanding professional and creative workflows and supports large amounts of unified memory and high memory bandwidth. The Max chip is also available as an option for the MacBook Pro. The Ultra chip combines two Max chips on one large chip using Apples UltraFusion architecture, so they offer double the CPU and GPU resources, and even higher memory capacity and bandwidth. Its suited to complex 3D rendering, large AI models and scientific computing. M5 Max : We are already familiar with the M5 Max from the MacBook Pro that launched in March 2026. It offers an 18-core CPU and up to 40-core GPU, versus up to 16 CPU cores in the M4 Max. Its GPU includes a Neural Accelerator in every core, helping deliver up to 3.9x faster AI performance than M4 Max, according to Apple, alongside third-generation ray tracing. M5 Ultra : The M5 Ultra is a brand new chip that connects two dual-die M5 Max chips using UltraFusion, creating a four-die architecture and offerering up to a 36-core CPU and 80-core GPU. Apple claims up to 1.3x faster CPU, to 40% faster graphics and 4.5 peak GPU compute for AI versus M3 Ultra. Mac Studio M5 Max benchmarks We have tested the Mac Studio M5 Max with 18-core CPU, 40-core GPU, 128GB memory and 4TB SSD, here are the benchmarks for that model. Read our full review of the Mac Studio (M5 Max). Test M5 Max Studio M4 Max Studio Improvement Geekbench 7 single-core 3,782 3,502 8% Geekbench 7 multicore 35,658 29,067 23% Cinebench 2024 GPU 22,438 16,866 33% iMovie 4K ProRes export 28 seconds 31 seconds 10% less time Storage Maximum storage remains 8TB for the M5 Max and 16TB for the M5 Ultra, so capacity hasnt increased. However, Apple says its next-generation SSD architecture, based on PCIe Gen 6, delivers up to twice the storage performance. Our testing of the M5 Max Mac Studio with a 4TB SSD showed substantial improvements over the tested M4 Max Studio: 2.67 the read throughput. 2.18 the write throughput. These results apply to the tested configurations; performance may vary with SSD capacity. Faster storage could reduce the time spent opening large projects, transferring files and loading large local AI models, although the improvement will depend on your workload and any other bottlenecks. RAM Maximum unified memory remains 128GB with M5 Max and 512GB with M5 Ultra, the same as the previous generation. Bandwidth has improved though. The M5 Max will now reach 614GB/s with the 40-core GPU configuration, up from 546GB/s on the 40-core GPU M4 Max, while M5 Ultra delivers 1.2TB/s, which Apple says is around 50 percent higher than M3 Ultra. Connectivity: WiFi & Bluetooth Other upgrades include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, USB-C genlock and Thunderbolt 5 clustering for distributed AI workloads. Display support also improves, with M5 Max supporting up to five external displays and M5 Ultra supporting up to eight, depending on resolution and refresh rate. Eugen Wegmann Wi-Fi : The Mac Studio now supports Wi-Fi 7 which replaces the previous wireless standard Wi-Fi 6E. Bluetooth :Bluetooth 6 replaces Bluetooth 5.3. Ethernet : Existing connectivity including 10Gb Ethernet, HDMI, USB-A, SDXC and a headphone jack remains. Thunderbolt : Thunderbolt 5 remains, offering up to 120Gb/s and as many as six Thunderbolt 5 ports depending on configuration. Thunderbolt 5 can now be used with RDMA to cluster multiple Mac Studios for distributed AI workloads; Apple says four systems can deliver up to 3x faster AI inference than one. Genlock : Apple has added Genlock support over USB-C. This is used for synchronising a display and camera (which can be an iPhone 17 Pro) and will be useful for professional video workflows. Display support : The Mac Studio with M5 Max supports up to five external displays. The M5 Ultra supports up to eight displays at 6K/60Hz, or up to four displays at 5K/120Hz. Other ports include two USB-C ports and an SDXC card slot on the front of the M5 Max model, and two Thunderbolt 5 ports and an SDXC card slot on the front of the M5 Ultra model. On the back of the Mac Studio are: 4 Thunderbolt 5 ports 2 USB-A ports 1 HDMI port 1 10Gb Ethernet port 1 3.5mm headphone jack Mac Studio M5 Max vs M4 Max: Whats Changed What Was Now CPU 14-core to 16-core M4 Max 18-core M5 Max GPU 32-core to 40-core M4 Max 32-core to 40-core M5 Max Neural Engine 16core NeuralEngine 16core NeuralEngine GPU Neural Accelerators None One in every GPU core Bandwidth Up to 546GB/s memory bandwidth Up to 614GB/s memory bandwidth Max RAM 128GB 128GB Mac Studio M5 Ultra vs M3 Ultra: Whats Changed What Was Now CPU 28-core to 32-core M3 Ultra 30-core to 36-core M5 Ultra GPU 60-core to 80 core M3 Ultra 64-core to 80-core M5 Ultra Neural Engine 32-core Neural Engine 32-core Neural Engine GPU Neural Accelerators None One in every GPU core Bandwidth 819GB/s memory bandwidth 1.2TB/s memory bandwidth Max RAM 512GB 512GB Who is the Mac Studio best for? Apple has designed the Mac Studio with M5 Max to meet the needs of demanding creative and technical professionals. Apple specifically highlights musicians, photographers, software developers, designers and 3D professionals. Its also well suited to video editing, code compilation, AI image generation and running sizeable LLMs locally. The Mac Studio with M5 Ultra is intended for professionals with exceptionally demanding workloads: VFX artists rendering complex scenes, filmmakers working with multiple streams of 8K video, engineers running simulations, and AI researchers or data scientists training and running huge models locally. Its 512GB memory ceiling is particularly valuable for frontier-class LLMs. Should you buy the 2026 Mac Studio? For new buyers, the M5 Max Mac Studio is an excellent starting point. Pay extra for M5 Ultra only if your workload needs its additional resources. Existing M4 Max owners should weigh an upgrade carefully. Our video tests showed relatively modest time savings, although workflows limited by internal storage speed may benefit more substantially. M3 Ultra owners shouldnt assume M5 Max is faster across the board: it wins Cinebench GPU rendering, but M3 Ultra retains advantages in multicore rendering and Metal compute. Upgrade only if the benefits justify the cost for your work. Availability may become limited due to the global RAM shortages. For more guidance, read: Should you buy a Mac Studio now or wait?

Mac mini (M5 Pro) review: Killer performance at a lethal price
Macworld At a glance Expert's Rating Pros Small and quiet Great performance for its size Large unified memory is great for AI Cons The price is moving in the wrong direction Upgrade prices are crazy as ever Our Verdict Some things are objectively good, but still very hard to recommend. Thats how I feel about the Mac mini with M5 Pro. It delivers the performance improvement we expect to see two years after the prior model, but the price has gone up by even more than the performance. And Apple hasnt made changes to the design or features to offset the plain simple fact that the value propositionalready a tough sellhas gotten worse. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed $1,699 Best Prices Today: Apple Mac mini (M5 Pro, 2026) Retailer Price $1,669.99 View Deal $1699 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide It has been almost two years since Apple introduced the Mac mini with M4 and M4 Pro. Its replacement splits generations in an odd way: the less expensive model makes the leap to M6, while the higher-endl model gets an M5 Pro, rather than an M6 Pro. For all we know, there may never be an M6 Pro . In the time between releases, due in part to the exploding costs of RAM and flash storage as the result of a race to build AI data centers, the Mac mini jumped up significantly in price. The M6 entry-level model costs a whopping $899, a full 50 percent more than the M4s $599 starting price, and that still includes the same 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Two years ago, we loved the power and efficiency of Apples surprisingly small computer, but were dismayed by how much more you paid for even the most modest upgrades. This years model is the same computer with a faster chip, and the price has gone through the roof. Is it still a worthwhile purchase? Lets dive in. M5 Pro Mac mini: Preposterous pricing The M4 Mac mini cost $599 in late 2024, with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It was a great starting price, but at the time we noted the greedy pricing of RAM and SSD upgrades: simply stepping up one level to 32GB and 512GB of storage cost another $600. In other words, Apple was charging as much for 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage as an upgrade as it was for an entire computer with that same RAM and storage. Absurd! It gives me no pleasure to say that pricing has gotten much worse. The starting price of this generation, the M6 Mac mini, is 50 percent higher at $899. It still has 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. It still costs $600 to add another 16GB of RAM (a total of 32GB) and 256GB of storage (a total of 512GB). Want the more powerful chip? The M5 Pro version, with a cut-back version of the chip that has fewer CPU and GPU cores, 24GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, is $1,699. The same configuration of the M4 Pro model was $1,399. Basically, youre paying $300 more to get your foot in the door with the Mac mini, a change that undermines its entire existence as a small and affordable Mac. The version were reviewing here has the full M5 Pro chip (a +$200 upgrade), 48GB of RAM (+$600) an 1TB SSD (+$300), and 10 gigabit Ethernet (+$100). Thats $2,899. Two years ago, the M4 Pro version of this computer with these same specs cost $2,299, and even that felt high. For reference, the Mac Studio with M5 Max (18-core CPU and 32-core GPU), 36GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD is actually less expensive at $2,799, offers more ports, and has a much more powerful GPU. I know the prices of all things related to computers have gone crazy lately, but this is just ridiculous and shows how disproportionate Apples upgrade pricing has gotten. Make it make sense, Apple. M5 Pro Mac mini: Design Physically, the new Mac mini is exactly like the two-year-old model. It has exactly the same dimensions, weight, and port configuration, including three Thunderbolt 5 ports on the back and two USB-C ports in the front. Foundry There are three small improvements worth noting, other than the obvious jump from the M4/M4 Pro to the M6/M5 Pro: The Ethernet port is a 2.5 gigabit port, rather than a gigabit port (you can still opt for a 10 gigabit port). It uses Apples N1 wireless chip, so you get Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 (up from Wi-FI 6E and Bluetooth 5.3). The Thunderbolt 5 ports support higher resolutions and refresh rates when using multiple connected displays. Foundry The bottom still has the same round ventilation riser and a recessed power button that is, for better or worse, rather hard to get to. Foundry M5 Pro Mac mini: Performance After two years, what youre really paying hundreds of dollars more for is the new chip. While the M6 is the newest generation, there are no higher-end Pro or Max versions of it. Instead, the higher-end Mac mini is the same M5 Pro introduced in the MacBook Pro about six months ago. Its quite a bit faster than the M4 Pro was, but we had reservations about the price/performance ratio on that computer and those have only gotten worse now. As time goes on, computers are supposed to get more powerful at the same price, or even cheaper. Theyre not supposed to be 25 percent faster but cost 30% more. And yet here we are. Geekbench 7 Lets take a look at CPU and GPU compute performance with the latest edition of the ever-reliable Geekbench. Foundry Thats a 12 percent jump in single-core CPU performance over the M4 Pro from 2 years ago, and a bigger 38 percent jump in multi-core performance. We went form 14 cores (10 performance and 4 efficiency) to 18 cores (6 super and 12 performance), hence the big boost in multi-threaded CPU performance. Lets look at GPU compute power for the M5 Pro, which has the same 20 GPU cores as the M4 Pro. Foundry Were looking at an improvement of around 20 percent for the GPU, partly from the higher-performing GPU cores and partly from the extra 12 percent of memory bandwidth. Geekbench AI AI performance is becoming increasingly important. Even if youre not a big user of local AI agents, Apples own machine learning tools are prevalent throughout the system, from Siri AI to Photos to Dictation and so much more. The Geekbench AI test lets you run a series of common ML tasks using the CPU, GPU, or Neural Engine. Were interested in the latters performance here. Foundry Neural Engine performance keeps creeping upward, from the M4 Pro to M5 to M5 Pro. Its about 33 percent faster in the low-precision data formats that are most often used when youre not doing AI training. We dont have data for the M6 Mac mini yet, but this is one area where that much less expensive system could outstrip the M5 Pro model, possibly by a wide margin. With the Neural Engine doubled to 32 cores, we can expect lower-precision AI tasks where memory bandwidth isnt the limit to run a lot faster. Cinebench 2026 Cinebench is a great test of a certain kind of CPU performance as it renders offline computer graphics, the kind of high-quality but very slow rendering used in TV and film. Foundry A single core is only 11 percent faster, but when theyre all working at once, the higher core count and change to the core configuration in the M5 Pro make a big difference. Performance goes up by 40 percent, a big jump even when you consider its has been two years between products. HandBrake video encode HandBrake uses standard video encoder libraries to transcode videos. We used the Creative Commons license Tears of Steel video in 4K, and transcode it down to a 1080p H.265 format, using both a CPU-based x265 encoder and the videotoolbox encoder that leverages Apples dedicated video encoding hardware. Foundry This test is a measure of how many seconds the transcode takes, so shorter results are better. Again, the increase in core count and configuration change results in a big multi-core CPU benefit, as the CPU-based encoder runs 26 percent faster. The newer hardware video encoder gets even a bigger boost, thoughits done in 41 percent less time! Game benchmarks A Mac mini is not really a gamers machine. Youd be crazy to spend this kind of money on a Mac expecting to play the latest games, and the limited cooling potential of a little Mac mini enclosure makes it struggle and get loud when playing a high-end game. Still, game benchmarks tend to stress the entire system at oncethe CPU, GPU, and memoryand are a great look at total system performance. Foundry The Borderlands 3 test only runs a little faster at lower resolutions and settings. But Apples newer GPU, despite still only having 20 cores, runs the game much better at 4K and High settings. You get a 52 percent improvement with those particular settings, though its still not really very smooth, and we would recommend lower settings for anyone trying to play this on a Mac mini. Foundry The real-time strategy game Total War: Warhammer III is very demanding, and at 4K the M5 Pro just cant cut it. Theres still a 31 percent improvement at 1080p and High settings, however. Foundry Rise of the Tomb Raider is getting a little old, and most modern Macs can run it quite well. The new Mac mini runs this game about 10-15 percent better than the one from two years ago. Overall, the combination of more CPU cores in a higher-performing configuration, a bit more memory bandwidth, and a new GPU core design pays off for 3D games. Blackmagic Disk Speed A final bit of great news as we close out the benchmarks. Apples latest SSD hardware is fully present here, offering a huge boost to performance where it was sorely needed. Foundry Back in the M1 and M2 days, Apples storage performance was second to none. But as you can see, it remained stagnant for years, and only recently doubled in performance with the latest generation. This puts it back on the level with some of the best Windows PCs you can buy. Should you buy an M5 Pro Mac mini? Theres not much to talk about with the new M5 Pro Mac mini other than performance. It looks identical to the 2-year-old model that preceded it, and have only modest improvements to wireless features and multi-display support that most users will probably not notice. So what we have, essentially, is the same computer as Apple was selling in late 2024, only faster. The good news is, its an appropriate speed boost given the two year gap. A CPU speedup of 10-30 percent and a GPU improvement of 20-40 percent is what you can expect in most cases, which would be a lot for a year-over-year boost, but is about what we expect after two years between releases. Its a respectable improvement. If the price was the same, we could confidently claim this is a very good update. But the price is not the same. Two years ago, the base model of the Mac mini was a very good deal, but the value proposition quickly disintegrated when you started adding on Apples outrageously-priced upgrades. Today, the base model is 50 percent more expensive and higher configurations cost hundreds of dollars more. The model I reviewed two years ago was $2,299 and configured almost exactly like the one Im reviewing now, save for the M5 Pro instead of the M4 Pro. Now it costs you $2,899. Thats not how its supposed to work. As time marches on, youre supposed to get a faster computer for the same price or less. Or at least a bunch of new features to make up the difference. An identical machine that is 25-30 percent faster but costs 25-50 percent more is moving in the wrong direction. Of course, the current RAM and SSD crunch are affecting everyone, and every company writing a blank check for endless AI investment is to blame. The price increases that resulted from this are not Apples fault , but it is Apples problem . This is a good computer at a bad price, and its not worth the upgrade if youre not in desperate need of one. And if you are, I feel sorry for you; this is a terrible time to buy any computer.

Apple Music Hall Spatial Audio Venue Opens in Battersea Power Station
Apple has announced the opening of Apple Music Hall, a state-of-the-art 600-capacity music venue located in London's Battersea Power Station. Apple says it is designed to connect artists and fans through bespoke, intimate performances unlike anywhere else. Apple's deep love for music dates all the way back to the very beginning, from the launch of the iPod to the long-running iTunes Music Festival to the debut of Apple Music, said Oliver Schusser, Apple's vice president of Apple Music and International Content. Today, with the opening of Apple Music Hall, we are once again taking an unprecedented step further in our commitment to artists and fans by supporting live music in ways only Apple can do. Apple says the hall incorporates heritage brickwork, fluted arches, and bronze balconies reminiscent of the historic oriel windows, while a giant glass wall further enhances the visual connection with the historic building, offering a panoramic view of the concourse and the river beyond. The 38-foot-wide stage can be reconfigured for traditional front-facing sets or more in-the-round experiences, and a 48-speaker spatial sound system is positioned all around the audience. Behind the stage is a dedicated recording and mix studio so that every performance can be captured as a multi-track recording and mixed in Spatial Audio, live or in post-production.

Apple CEO John Ternus Talks iPhone Duo Design, Siri AI, and Becoming CEO
Apple CEO John Ternus did an interview with Canal+ talk show Clique following Apple's September event. He discussed the iPhone Duo 's design, difficulties Apple ran into when developing it, his plans for Apple, and more. On the design of the iPhone Duo, Ternus explained why Apple went with an iPad-like shape when the device is unfolded. I think it's something new and unique, right? But I think we didn't want to just do what we'd seen other people do, which is sort of take two phone shapes and stick them together and then you get this weird square thing. We came at it from we want to build a large screen experience that feels right to us. And obviously we've been doing that for a long time with iPad. And so we knew kind of the shape, you know, we came up with this new aspect ratio. Ternus said that when developing the iPhone Duo, there were so many problems to solve, but a foldable was an opportunity for Apple employees to e really clever and come up with entirely new things. He said some of the hardware engineering problems Apple had to address involved the design of the hinge and the display, and making them reliable. When asked to share his favorite iPhone Duo trick, Ternus showed off the device's opening animation. I mean, this is really fun, you know, the animation that you get as you open it across from one side to the other. It's just sort of whimsical and fun. And it brings a smile to your face. Ternus reiterated Apple's stance on AI companions, saying that Siri AI is ot designed to be your friend, which is something we heard earlier this year from Craig Federighi. Ternus said Apple doesn't want to replace human relationships. They're how we learn, they're how we grow, they're how we find joy and happiness, he said. Then-CEO Tim Cook and Apple's board asked Ternus if he wanted to be the next Apple CEO. Ternus didn't say when he was approached, but he said the question came as a surprise. When Tim asked me if it was something I would consider, I would say the good news is I was sitting down, because I never in a million years would have imagined that happening, said Ternus. As Apple's CEO, Ternus said he doesn't have plans for a radical change. He was asked if Apple was going back to its roots under his leadership, with more of a focus on engineering products. I don't think anything's really changed. Sure, I'm new in this job, but the focus on innovation, the focus on products, the focus most importantly on our customers, that has never changed. That's been here from the beginning. I am super passionate about products. I love building things. That's why I've been here so long. That's why I love what I do. And so I'm excited to continue doing that. But I don't think of it as some radical change. Ternus said it was amazing to be able to say one more thing on stage at Apple's September event. I've seen Steve say it, and I've seen Tim say it, he said. And so having the opportunity for me to say it was pretty magical. Kind of goosebumps. The full interview includes Ternus' thoughts on Tim Cook, the AI race, Apple's environmental goals, the Vision Pro, the new parental controls added in iOS 27 , and more.

You Can No Longer Downgrade From iOS 27 to iOS 26
Apple is no longer signing iOS 26.6.2, so if you've upgraded to iOS 27 , there is no option to downgrade to a version of iOS 26 . iOS 27 came out a week ago . Software that is signed can pass a server-side verification check that Apple performs when a new version of iOS is downloaded. If an update fails the verification check, it can't be installed. By unsigning software, Apple prevents customers from installing outdated, less secure versions of iOS. If you haven't installed iOS 27 yet, you can still keep using iOS 26, but once you've upgraded, there's no going back. You also can't downgrade from iOS 27 to iOS 26.7 (which was released alongside iOS 27) because iOS 26.7 is an over-the-air update with no restore file available.

GM Wants You to Know It Still Plans to Ditch Apple CarPlay in Future EVs
Recent reports claiming that General Motors is reversing course on its controversial plans to ditch CarPlay in its future EVs appear to be incorrect. As noted by Joanna Stern , host of the YouTube channel New Things, a GM spokesperson has confirmed that its new software interface that shows CarPlay or Android Auto alongside its own native system in 2027 models of its Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra is specific to the gas-powered versions of those pickup trucks. GM previously stated that CarPlay and Android Auto would continue to be offered in its new gas-powered vehicles for the foreseeable future, so the 2027 models of those trucks still supporting those platforms is not a change of course. There is one more wrinkle in that GM's all-electric 2027 Cadillac LYRIQ supports CarPlay and Android Auto still it is unclear if the Lyriq will always be an exception or if it will simply be one of GM's final EVs to ever support phone mirroring systems. Overall, though, GM continues to insist that its future EVs will not offer CarPlay. All in all, GM really wants you to know that it is committed to ditching the extremely popular feature that you probably want in your next EV.
