Problem is double imo: too many duplicate features with the iPhone + very bad battery life (relative). More specialized watches like the Scanwatch (health) or any Garmin (sport) do way better than the Apple Watch in finding this equilibrium. 

Still not aimed at game developers... they keep speaking about creators and developers in their videos, but clearly not game devs: UE5 is partially working and missing a lot of its core features on Mac, the last M1 Unity versions just keep crashing, DAZ3D doesn't work anymore since the switch from Intel, no Reallusion softs on Mac ... I guess Windows is still the future for us, even if I hate this So much power wasted

Just so frustrating for a person looking to replace their 27-inch iMac.
iMac is under $3K. And memory can be upgraded.
Studio + Studio is closer to $4.5K. But, you do get more cables.

Same here... sad cause I was looking to update my M1 Mini but the M1 Max isn't great enough - I already have a 5950X on the side with much more GPU power - and the M1 Ultra is way overpriced.

There's a difference between being overpriced and too expensive for you.

No too expensive for me, but might be overpriced for my expected workflow: I'm a game dev and at this point I don't know how it will compare to a, let's say, a RTX 3090.

As a European, sometime I'm disgusted by all those politicians trying to regulate our lives the way they want without caring or even understanding what the people wants. The worst thing is that there is no legal way to make them stop or to tell them we don't want this! This is the same group of people who "offer" their employees and themselves one complementary week of days off - on top of the 60+ days of they already have - during the pandemic to "take some rest" during the hard time of the virus management. Of course only for the employees - not the service providers who kept working - and of course on the European public founds... a real shame.
