According to the official announcement letter, Apple's spring special event "High Energy Transmission" will be officially held at 2:00 a.m. Beijing time on March 9. According to the last-minute confirmation of Bloomberg reporter Mark Gullman, Apple is likely to launch a new Mac Studio device and a new display running iOS at this event. Gurman tweeted that Mac Studio and "new monitors running iOS are already 'ready' and could debut tomorrow.
At present, YouTube technology experts have shared renderings of Mac Studio devices. The rendering shows that this is a product with a design similar to the Mac mini, but with a thicker thickness. It has a similar square design to the current "Mac mini", but the body size has been increased to 4 inches, and a new thermal design has been adopted to effectively dissipate heat.
Of course, the video's author also said that "Mac Studio" will be "explicitly announced" during the spring event period, which also coincides with Gurman's statement.
The name "Mac Studio" has also been recently revealed, and it has not been leaked for a long period of time before, which shows that the confidentiality of this device is really good. Regarding this product, some technology websites describe it as a combination of Mac mini + Mac Pro, and considering that there was news that Apple is developing "high-end Mac mini and smaller Mac Pro products", at present, it is likely to refer to this product - Mac Studio.
From the perspective of possible product positioning, Mac Studio has become an alternative to high-end Mac mini, and it can also be used as a small-volume "youth version" of Mac Pro. Because its performance is not expected to be as powerful as the Mac Pro, but the self-developed M1 Pro and M1 Max chips are still likely to be equipped. In addition, the iOS-equipped Studio Display display will also arrive, 27 inches, the bezel is slightly larger than the Pro Display XDR, built-in A series chips - too exaggerated, even the display has to be on the A series chip? The display is expected to be more affordable than the Pro Display XDR tomorrow, and the specific pricing information makes us wait for the new product launch in the early morning.
