The display offers up to 2,000 nits of brightness, a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate and support for P3 and Adobe RGB color spaces. M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, up to 128GB of unified memory, up to 16TB of storage and macOS 27 with Apple Intelligence support demanding workflows. Preorders begin October 28, with availability starting November 6.
