The displays on the MacBook Neo, 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air, and 14‑inch and 16‑inch MacBook Pro have rounded corners at the top. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screens are 13.0 inches, 13.6 inches, 15.3 inches, 14.2 inches and 16.2 inches diagonally (actual viewable area is less).
Feature, App and Service Availability: Features are subject to change. Some features, applications and services may not be available in all regions or languages.
Power and Battery: Battery life varies by use and configuration; see apple.com/nz/batteries for more information.
Siri AI: Siri AI will be available in beta later this year and requires an Apple Intelligence–enabled device set to a supported language. Available in English to start. Siri AI will not initially be available in the EU on iOS, iPadOS and watchOS.
Storage: Actual formatted capacity of SSD is less.
Touch ID: Magic Keyboard with Touch ID is included with iMac (M4) systems with 10‑core GPU, iMac (M3) systems with 10‑core GPU and iMac (M1) systems with 8‑core GPU. It is available as an option on iMac (M3) systems with 8‑core GPU and iMac (M1) systems with 7‑core GPU.
Up to 2x Faster Storage: Testing conducted by Apple in July 2026 using preproduction Mac mini systems with Apple M6, 12‑core CPU and 12‑core GPU, and production Mac mini systems with Apple M4, 10‑core CPU and 10‑core GPU, both configured with 32GB of unified memory and 2TB SSD. Tested with FIO 3.42, 1024KB request size, 10GB test file and IO depth=8. Mac mini systems tested with an attached 5K display. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac mini.
