Apple has pushed back the launch of its refreshed Mac Studio to October, citing component supply shortages, and the new MacBook Pro update is now expected later than originally planned. The delay was revealed by Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman in his weekly column, after an insider confirmed the mid year rollout had been scrapped.

• Supply chain constraints are keeping Apple from meeting demand for the current M4 Pro and M3 Ultra models.
• The new MacBook Pro, rumored to feature a touchscreen, may slip into late 2026 or early 2027.
• Analysts note the postponement could impact Apple's Q4 earnings outlook.

Consumers and developers should watch for revised pricing and availability in the coming weeks.
