This matches Apple’s recent PROLED XDR (tandem OLED touchscreen) models from late October/early November 2026. Retailers like B&H list the Space Black equivalent near $8,399 (standard glass) or $8,549 (nano-texture); Silver is typically the same or only marginally higher. Fully maxed configs (same chip + 128GB + 16TB) hit ~$14,549, with the jump from 4TB to 16TB accounting for most of the difference (~$6,000).
Prices vary slightly by retailer, promotions, education discounts, or trade-in. The high cost is driven mainly by the 128GB RAM (+$2,000 over base) and storage upgrades in an AI-driven memory/storage market. Check Apple’
