Apple’s chip release schedule is so borked. It should be High end Pro and Studio first and then iPad, Air, Mini and downgraded Pro. Why they release the iPad and Low End Pro is beyond me. Everyone buying their high end gear is buying something waiting to be refreshed now.

Apparently, in Europe, the box will not contain a charger [1]. This is absolutely mind-blowing to me. edit: suggested retail price also dropped with EUR 100. Mind is less blown now. It seems like a good thing in fact. edit2: in Belgium, the combined price of the 70W adapter and 2m USB-C to MagSafe is EUR 120. [1] https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/new-macbook-pro-does-no...
USB-C chargers are everywhere now. Monitors with USB-C or Thunderbolt inputs will charge your laptop, too. I bought a monitor that charges over the USB-C cable and I haven’t use the charger that came with the laptop in years because I have a smaller travel charger that I prefer for trips anyway.
You don’t have to buy the premium Apple charger and cable. There are many cheap options.
I already have a box of powerful USB-C chargers I don’t use. I don’t need yet another one to add to the pile.

Most of their buyers aren’t buying the highest end parts. Those are a niche market.
Focusing on the smaller parts first makes sense because they’re easier to validate and ship. The larger parts are more complicated and come next.
wait I can’t have M5 with 64GB ram? highest is just 32GB which is ridiculous!
This has been their staggered release strategy for a while.
why is apple releasing a MBP with the old gen of pro chips (m4 pro)?

…or they are still working on fine tuning/testing production of the world’s most technologically difficult thing to mass manufacture?
Looks like the Pro and Max will be on a three month delay.
Looks premium, eco-responsible, powerful, just like the M4. And the M3. And the one before. Does anyone know what exactly changed this year?
