Apple is cancelling M4 Max MacBook Pro orders placed by customers and replacing them with the M5 Max

Apple’s updated MacBook Pro lineup with M5 Pro and M5 Max options is available to pre-order, but not every customer wanting a portable Mac will keep track of the company’s announcements, as some of them had already placed an order for some M4 Max versions just days before the unveiling.
