  1. L W A,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.1 B.

  2. L p A,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at operator position (rounded to the nearest 1 dB).

  3. 1 B (bel) = 10 dB (decibel).

  4. K v is the statistical adder for computing upper-limit of A-weighted sound power level.

  5. The quantity, L W A,c (formerly called L W Ad) may be computed from the sum of L W A,m and K v .

  6. The wireless web test browses 6 tabs with a mix of content including media.

  7. Configuration tested: M5 Max, 18-core CPU, 40-core GPU, 64GB unified memory, 4TB storage.

  1. Actual formatted capacity of SSD storage is less.

  2. Screen size is 14.2 inches (14-inch MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display) and 16.3 inches (16-inch MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display). Measured diagonally as a standard rectangular shape. Actual viewable area is less due to rounded corners.

  3. In temperatures less than 25° C.

  4. Testing conducted by Apple in September 2026 using preproduction 16-inch MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display systems with Apple M5 Max, 18-core CPU, 40-core GPU, 48GB of unified memory, and 8TB SSD, and preproduction 16-inch MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display systems with Apple M5 Pro, 18-core CPU, 20-core GPU, 48GB of unified memory, and 2TB SSD. Wireless web battery life tested by browsing 25 popular websites while connected to Wi-Fi. Video streaming battery life tested with 1080p content in Safari while connected to Wi-Fi. Display brightness set to 8 clicks from the bottom and keyboard backlight was off. Battery life varies by use, configuration, and environmental factors. See apple.com/batteries for more information.

  5. Enabled by compatible third-party hardware and software.

  6. The medical imaging presets are intended only for non-diagnostic reviews, research, and educational purposes.

  16. Apple’s Regulated Substances Specification describes Apple’s restrictions on the use of certain chemical substances in materials in Apple products, accessories, manufacturing processes, and packaging used for shipping products to Apple’s end-customers. Restrictions are derived from international laws or directives, regulatory agencies, eco-label requirements, environmental standards, and Apple policies. Every Apple product is free of PVC and phthalates except for AC power cords in India, Thailand (for two-prong AC power cords), and South Korea, where we continue to seek government approval for our PVC and phthalates replacement. Apple products comply with the European Union Directive 2011/65/EU and its amendments, including exemptions for the use of lead such as high-temperature solder. Apple is working to phase out the use of these exempted substances for new products where technically possible.
