Amazon leaks redesigned Mac mini with M4 Pro
Fidonet127 said:The Studio looks sad on this graph, being M2 series.
Yeah, anybody buying a Studio now needs to have their head examined. I just don't understand why Apple does what they do... Yes, I know an M4 Studio is coming, but I thought an M3 Studio was also coming, and never did...

The things you may have missed from Monday's M4 iMac announcement
I don't care WHERE the charging port is on the "Magic Mouse," because I don't use it. I still have a brand new one in the box that came with my 2017 iMac Pro. I find the Apple mouse useless. I currently use a Logitech MX Master 3 mouse. I also use a mechanical keyboard and not the "chicklet" keyboard we used to complain about in the early days of desktop/personal computing.

What speed to expect from M4 Ultra in the 2025 Mac Studio & Mac Pro
I find it interesting that we've seen no (at least I don't think we have) pictures of the current M4 Max chip. It we had, we could plainly see the interconnect at the bottom of the chip if there is indeed one. My bet (and it's just a wild guess) is that the Ultra will be a single large chip, not 2 Maxes interconnected together.

M2 Pro Mac mini vs Mac Studio - compared
It's sort of odd they didn't also update the Studio offerings. Perhaps they will skip the M2 and go directly to the M3 @ 3nm. It's entirely possible the M2 Max Macbook will be faster/more feature complete than any Studio other than the Ultra version. After reviewing the specs on the M2 Max Macbook, it sort of obsoletes the Max version of the Studio. For now.

iPadOS 26 fixes nearly everything wrong with the platform after everyone already left
I currently have 3 iPads. I use them mostly for web access and my #1 app is forScore. As a musician and singer, it's and indispensable tool. I still use Mac for almost all serious work, mostly because I have 3 large monitors with lots of screen real estate.

macOS Tahoe is the last big update for Intel Macs
I would surmise that it will also be the end-of-the-line for Open Core Legacy Patcher as well since Apple will probably remove all Intel code from MacOS 27. -
Tim Cook teases the imminent launch of a new MacBook Air
It would be great if they'd also release the M4 Mac Studio models! Too late for me because I went the MBP route, but there are a lot of people out there waiting for this upgrade!

Apple says not every Apple Silicon generation will get an Ultra
HandsomeSmitty said:Watching Miani's DoobToob response to today's release, he's wondering why Apple would do this, and also why Apple state that possibly future chips might not get an 'Ultra' upgrade.
Dood--MONEY! Money has always been Apple's motivation with his incremental upgrades. Imagine what an M4 Ultra's processing power could be, and then consider why any Ultra buyers would NEED to upgrade ever again? Or how many people would settle for an M4 Max Studio instead of going the laptop routes.
"Money Money Mooooney!"
You're absolutely right! By waiting until now to release the M4 Max Studio, they made an extra $1500 from me when I bought the M4 Max MBP back in December. I was tired of waiting since they hadn't updated the Studio line in 2 years (and I was running a 2017 iMac Pro which now is a dinosaur.)

M5 iPad Pro is in testing ahead of a late 2025 release
The problem with iPad Pros has never been the hardware. It's the software. Release MacOS for it and let people decide if they want to run MacOS or iPadOS on it. Problem is, the iPads don't have a lot of RAM.
