The M5‑Max chip is already mass‑produced and shipping in MacBook Pro.
Yet Mac Studio and Mac mini are still selling M4‑series hardware at full original price, no price cuts.

It’s frustrating for buyers: newer silicon already exists, but desktop Mac customers pay the same money for last‑gen chips.

I pre‑ordered a Mac Studio M4‑Max with estimated Sep 23 shipping. If Mac Studio M5‑Max launches in October before my order ships, I could end up receiving superseded hardware right out of the box.

Are there any real‑world cases where unshipped Mac Studio orders got automatically upgraded like what happened with some US MacBook M4→M5 orders?
