With 4yrs of Trump tariffs, M5 might be priced a lot higher than M4 is now. M4 owners might profit from selling their 2nd hand M4s between 2025-2028Why would anyone buy a M4 Max or M4 Ultra Mac Studio, if the M5 versions are coming out shortly after the M4 Mac Studios launch?
But with M4 having such excellent performance, I'd imagine Apple will have their work cut out for them in M5 marketing and feature set decisions to convince M4 users to upgrade.
