I'll say this again, I have said it before. Jony Ives! Since he has left Apple, it's like a completely different design philosophy. Apple has stopped trying to come up absurd designs that affect the functional user experience of the actual product. All the things you mentioned i.e. MacPro Trashcan, Magic Mouse, No ports, Touchbar all decisions that are being rolled back to get the actual functional experience better. And for once, I'm loving this new Apple!

[@jjpark98]

I've also made that conclusion. He left in 2019. LITERALLY after he left, we started getting much more functional design. He left and we immediately started seeing better Macbook Pros that actually fit the Pro name. We got iPhones that actually do shit and are able to hold their own against Android phones respectively in all aspects.

[@yashkorde4163]

Wow you are so right!! I never thought about that. Mac design/performance was such a step back from 2016-2019 And now apple is making thicker, more efficient products with insane performance. Absolutely loving it!!

[@HoldFastFilms]

It's possible and it appears that way but I would imagine Apple thinking a lot further into the future when it comes to products. It's not like they design everything they showed in the past year or so. But at any rate, as long as we benefit, I don't care what happens.

[@melgross]

Wouldn't it be crazy if Apple had built in a wireless magsafe charger in the top of the Mac Studio, so you could charge your phone there while you're working on something? And maybe for heat management, the wireless charging only activates, if the NFC chip of the iPhone talks to the magsafe system on the Studio when it detects that an iPhone is resting on its top... That would be nice imo

[@Technocrat.]

You can buy spiral conduit to cable manage behind desk to ground, so you have just a 1 to 2 foot lead from PC to behind desk, then run conduit down to last few feet where cables split off to various plugs.

[@jronmantech]

the option with the m1 ultra version has a copper heat sink instead of an aluminum heat sink in the m1 max version.

[@adventuresinbytes]

If only Apple would support MST we could daisy chain between monitors. Instead we are forced to plug every monitor into the back of the Studio. Maybe this is a feature they are holding back for second revision of Apple Silicone? Also missing from their display is a second Thunderbolt to achieve daisy chaining on their displays.

[@imad1996]

M1 is the generation. There are four models of M1 so far, and max is one of them. Once all M1 models Are launched, M2 will be launched. It is a very clever way to manage product variations. If you buy M1 ultra today, M2 will come soon, which is less in performance, so customers will not feel bad. So it will take more than a year for a model to become old generation.

I really think we might get a "X1" instead of a M series chip for the Mac Pro considering they might have to redesign the Max chip for more Ultra Fusion links in order to attach more dies together. Edit: This moniker could work well as it replaces the "Xeon" chips Edit 2: This could be very likely now

[@jurajchobot]

If I remember it correctly, they said in the March event, that M1 Ultra is the last M1 chip. What I think is, that they are gonna redesign the M1 Max die with the latest features, that came from an A16 and then interconnect four of those redesigned M1 dies together to create a single chip, possibly called X1. The multithreaded performance is going to be unparalleled while they are going to beat both Intel's and AMD's chips in single threaded work loads for the next two years. Also, I think, that the top tier Mac is going to feature high speed cores only and use the A16 architecture with higher clocks. In my opinion, this is the most reasonable next step even when you consider game theory. If they are capable of delivering higher single threaded workloads they should deliver them as soon as possible, preferably in their top tier product using a distinct branding. X1 would sound fire.

[@mk_mason]

@@jurajchobot possible but the M is for Mac so I think it could be MX1 or just MX Gen 1

[@karnpandharipande]

@@mk_mason Ya most probably, but I was just thinking about it, they could probably use the "X" in line with the Xeon chips offered in the current Mac Pro. As in it would make more sense if they addressed it by saying that the X moniker replaces the "Xeon" in terms of a new performance standard and a differentiator like with Intel.

[@karnpandharipande]

@@jurajchobot It really depends on the release schedule, if it's June/July it's gonna use the M1 arch, if it's late this year or next year, it might use M2 arch. But I do think that they might use the M2 arch base and use that to form derivatives that go into the macbooks, iPads and the Mac Studio moving forward, almost like a trickle down effect.

[@l21n18]

They should really make a special chip for the pros alone just like the Xeon was, something to distinguish it from all the others

[@ItsYaBoyDanny]

I think what they meant by “modular” is the addition of extra ports

[@bamb8s436]

🤡

[@waltonks8172]

They meant “BYODKM” (Bring Your Own Display, Keyboard, and Mouse)

[@something2sea]

Extra ports, yes. A typical Mac Pro Tower will have quite a few extra cards installed in the back (video capture cards, for example). When Apple talks about this being a "Modular Setup", it's kinda like the original mac compared to PCs of the late 80 / early 90s… those modems, zip drives, etc, etc on a normal PC would have been installed internally by the user, whereas with these Modular Mac Desktops they're thunderbolt / USBC devices that connect in with a cable and sit somewhere else on the desk. Really, it's the same theory apple used with the G4 cube, the trashcan Mac Pro, and the original iMac from 1998 where it was no longer possible to install expansion cards inside your Macintosh.

[@extra4542]

@@waltonks8172 yeah that’s what they meant but calling it modular is dumb and misleading bc by that logic, all computers minus all-in-ones are modular when you can plug them into a display. “Modular” implies you can change the components in the mac studio so they shouldn’t have presented it like that

When Apple finally comes out with a front facing port design “Macmini”, why on earth would you think of putting the box as a backpack on the display? Kind of defeats the reason for the design… Might as well wait and get an iMac pro with the M1 ultra (which is bound to come out one day, probably later in the year or next year) …

[@cooltune]

I thought the "modularity" claim would manifest into an endlessly stackable system. Like.... physically stacking macs on each other. But it would require some form of an "Ultra-Connect" cable to tap into that Ultra-Fusion Architecture and actually realize such a "modular" system.

[@achopson3445]

Hey but 12 south could make a mount that hooks it to the stand on the studio display. So you can reach the button still easy and not actually behind the monitor, but attached to the stand.

[@selfscience]

Modular because you can make every peripheral the same shape and stack them together in a tower, you can stack a few computers into a supercomputer.

[@EthanSanchez]

randomly clicked on this video while another one was playing and my god the difference in quality is jarring. the audio is so ~crisp~

[@ignotuspeverell9801]

Apparently, online people think the "Modularity" is the IO, with the large selection of ports. I guess we'll have to wait to see what they mean by "modularity".

[@williamp6800]

We don’t have to wait and see. It’s blindingly obvious. There is no internal expansion of any kind. You buy a particular configuration and that’s it. The only way it’s different from a non-modular iMac is that the monitor is separate. That’s it.

When he says "modular" he's comparing it to a MacBook and talking about peripherals (display, keyboard, input device). It's a matter of perspective and a completely valid use of the word even if it's not the kind of modularity we'd all prefer. External vs internal modularity.

[@apoclypse]

I agree. Its certainly more modular than an iMac which you basically have to give/throw away even though it has a perfectly good display that you may want to keep. Modularity doesn't always mean being able to open the thing up to add things.

[@tonyburzio4107]

The interconnect between the two Max to make the Ultra goes up, so you can stack the Ultras on top of each other. Ultra 3 Floors?

[@umanoid1523]

I DGAF what they call them as long as they’re fast and work without problems. Cant wait until i see some real world tests on the studio max and ultra. I produce music and design so I’m leaning towards the Max version but it depends on how the actual testing ends up.

[@ignitiontrading]

My concern is that the fan seems to be burried and difficult to service and clean. There also doesn’t seem to be any prefiltation. So that is going to be an ongoing problem of cleaning by design. Am I wrong?

[@nqh4393]

Knowing Apple, the next level M1 chip may be called M1 Ultra Max, which is basically four M1 Max slapped together.

[@glyph_official]

Given that each Thunderbolt 4 port is 4 PCIe lanes, and they’ve got 6 of those on the ultra version *in addition* to 10GbE that has its own bandwidth to the chipset, I think that’s what they mean by “modular”. You can’t swap out your RAM or internal storage, but you can connect an absolute ton of beefy peripherals to this - something like 3x as many as a macbook pro could manage, given that if you want 10GbE on a docked MBP you’re already burning one of the tb4 ports on that alone.

[@fray3dendsofsanity]

That's a charitable interpretation, considering that they highlighted absolutely none of those possibilities or developed any peripherals specifically for it. I think that Mac Studio is a great looking computer, and I'm happy with my MacBook Pro 14 inch, but I think they simply meant "you can choose your own monitor!" which is pretty lame when describing the system as "modular". They literally could have just omitted it and kept it the same. It just felt like they invited criticism for no reason

[@glyph_official]

I wasn't really trying to be charitable to apple here in their marketing, I agree the word was somewhat muddled and vaguely applied; they didn't actually *say* what they meant. I am just saying that for me, personally, this level of I/O bandwidth is what I would want in a "modular" system; the hypothetical possibility of replacing RAM or internal SSDs on a machine this high-end designed for professionals always seems a little silly; by the time the internal SSD is wearing out or 128GB of RAM is insufficient, you should probably be buying a new machine. And sure, Apple's gonna charge you an arm and a leg for those resources and make aftermarket upgrades hard or impossible, but they're not in the parts business, they're selling whole integrated systems.

[@PTYC933]

Modular? They should have made this like a nuc. When the m2 or m3 systems come, let you swap out your existing m1 ultra board, reuse chassis + psu + heatsink.

[@coomr419]

Now their users can scroll their social media even faster I guess

[@aDifferentJT]

If you consider this to be the replacement for the iMac Pro then the ‘system’ it is replacing includes the display, and this is more modular than that.
