Apple on March 6, 2026 removed the 512 GB unified memory option for the Mac Studio, capping maximum RAM at 256 GB and raising the 256 GB upgrade price from $1,600 to $2,000 (a $400 increase). Apple discontinued the 512 GB M3 Ultra configuration amid ongoing DRAM supply constraints; the 256 GB option still supports large local LLM workloads but reduces headroom for the largest models.
