Apple Announces Powerful 'Mac Studio' With M1 Ultra Chip and Companion 'Studio Display'

You could always pair a Mac mini with a third party display even when the 27" iMac was available. It's nothing new, so your assertion that "You actually have a choice now" doesn't make any sense.

The Studio display is practically identical to the panel that was on the 27" iMac. It's simply a money grab from Apple, you have to be delusional not to see this.

Long term, apple loses money on this, because they don’t get every monitor sale, and not every box will be purchased with a new apple monitor. People will keep existing monitors and buy new boxes.

Hooking up 2 studio displays would be weird, 2 cameras, 2 sets of speakers etc. 27" is now a smaller screen in a "studio" environment. I have a 2nd 27" with my iMac. I wouldn't need any of the bells n whistles on the 2nd display making the extra $ retarded.

The last word of your post is now considered a slur by many people.

Many, if not most, displays come with a webcam and speakers so any multi-monitor setup is going to have multiples of each. The OS allows you to pick the display you want to use those components for and the others just go unused.

Would be nice if all that fancy A13 stuff with center stage would just switch seemlessly to the speaker using whichever camera makes the most sense,

in fact, be right back, I’ve got to jot down a provisional patent application…

BTW, same with speakers. Put two of these side by side, and it should figure out to just fire the left and right-most speakers for left and right channels, and use the two center speakers as a middle channel, etc.

M1 Max is now a very strange name, as it is not the max chip variant. They knew the Ultra was coming out, and now the Middle chip is called the Max chip.

The max you can get from a single die is M1 Max, but the ultimate is using more than 1 die.
The names work for me.
