Apple is reportedly planning to release at least two new Mac Studio models in the future, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The news suggests that the Mac Studio was not a one-off stopgap product amid the wait for the first Mac Pro with Apple silicon.
Gurman briefly mentioned the upcoming Mac Studio follow-ups in his latest newsletter, which focused on new MacBooks and other announcements planned for WWDC. However, he did not reveal further details about the new models, leaving tech specs and release timing unknown for now.
Apple introduced the Mac Studio and its companion Studio Display in March 2022. The high-end desktop computer is available with Apple’s M1 Max and M1 Ultra chips, with pricing for these configurations starting at $1,999 and $3,999, respectively. The higher-end Mac Studio with the M1 Ultra chip is currently the fastest Mac ever released.
In February, Gurman revealed that the next Mac Pro would be equipped with an M2 Ultra chip and offer “very similar” functionality as the Mac Studio. As a result, he suggested that it “wouldn’t make sense” for Apple to release a Mac Studio with an M2 Ultra chip, implying that the computer might not be updated until M3 Max and M3 Ultra chips are ready at least. If this is the case, the next Mac Studio would likely be released in 2024 at the earliest.
The Mac Studio has received critical acclaim for its powerful performance, stunning design, and exceptional display. It has become a popular choice for professionals in creative industries, including graphic designers, photographers, and video editors. Apple’s decision to release new Mac Studio models in the future is a testament to the company’s commitment to the professional market.
