I don’t imagine anyone is requesting or care about sleeker desktop Macs. Personally I would prefer a thicker one with great cooling and tons of ports so I can throw away all these hubs I need because my Mac lacks enough ports. 

When Apple switched from Intel to Apple Silicon I was hoping that would mean more frequent product updates. But at least when it comes to the Mac Studio, Mini, and Pro it is as slow as ever is not even slower. I am desperate to buy a new Studio but I refuse to buy one with a M2 that was released so long ago. I'm sure Apple has their reasons, but from a consumer POV it's very frustrating waiting so long for product refreshes on some models while others get yearly updates.

I understand wanting thinner on devices like laptops, iPads, and iPhones....But I am baffled why Apple uses that same logic on their desktop products.  Maybe I am unusual, but since an iMac, Mac mini would be sitting on my desk it is irrelevant to me how thick it is. I would love more expansion ports so we aren't forced to buy hubs to make it usable. I also think that thicker options would allow for airflow and allow them to operate at cooler temps with higher speeds. Am I missing something?

I'm confused why anyone would need any specialized AI apps. What I mean is by that is currently ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude are the dominant players. All 3 offer free or paid premium versions. There are tons of specialized paid apps that use one of those 3 as their backbone so to speak, but they are all useless leeches.

Why use specialized apps when you can easily just do the task easily with ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude alone? Sure it takes a little training and learning to become an expert user, but we can now create and save our own specialized AI bots within ChatGPT which means those apps are becoming less relevant by the day.

I wonder if the reason they don't just update the entire line all at once to the three M3 variants is due to supply constraints or it more related to marketing considerations? Would TSMC even be capable of producing enough M3 chips for the whole line. It seems doubtful since the max won't ship for around a month.
