  • Apple's Mac Studio launches with new M1 Ultra chip in a compact package

    RIP 27" iMac. 
    End of an era. 
    Back to boxes and cables. 
    Hey, wanna steal my life? Grab this little box off my desk.

  • iPad and Mac don't compete against each other, so buy both says Apple exec

    I haven’t used a laptop in years. When the iPadPro updated the USB connection to Thunderbolt two years ago I had everything I needed for a fast light mobile photo lab. My complementary machines are a Mac Studio + Studio Display and whatever the current Pro version of a phone is out worth the automattic upgrade program.

    mjtomlin said: Very true they could at some point release a larger iMac, they can always change their mind, But John did say there was only one Mac left to transition; the Mac Pro. That would imply everything coming along through the transition is done, leaving the 27” iMac behind.
    27" iMac isn't a separate line of hardware like the Mac Pro. iMac was already updated to M1, but that doesn't mean iMac will never have a screen larger than 24". IMO, this is more of a maximize-near-term-sales approach for the Mac Studio and Studio Display. 
    Thanks for the lifeline, Forgie. I’ve been geezering along with a 2015 27” iMac that takes 7 minutes to boot with Big Sur. Always been tempted to jump to the new 24” iMac but would very much like a bigger screen, more connectivity w/o a hub. Since I always get in the slowest line at the supermarket I’m betting that as soon as I buy a 24” M1 iMac they’ll announce a chipped-up newer version. Or… I wait.
