I believe it's been saying that since October 2021. Hopefully, it gets updated tomorrow.

That's incorrect. I don't see the "new" tag on my end:
EDIT: nevermind, you have to actually go into the BTO page to see the "new" tag:
I thought that wasn't there before. But you are correct. I used the Wayback Machine and it has always been there. Apple is getting sloppy I guess.
The store is updated.
Self driving roller-skates have been released powered by H3 chip.
Americans will never need to walk again.
Wait...

I agree, especially within the FSI vertical.
However, Apple already has a 25-30 % market share in Enterprise in the US. Have a look at their recent quarterly shipments versus the PC industry as a whole, it’s a bold claim but not impossible.
it is easy to go from a small % to a bigger %. Going from a bigger % to an even bigger % is much, much, much harder. It's almost similar to the logarithmic scale when you are in the higher % to grow your market share to be even bigger. Case in point: self driving technology - Waymo and its associates were confident that they would easily be able to solve the self driving problem by the 2030s. Now, as we all know, that dream is basically dead. Self driving technology is now advancing at a glacial pace because getting that level 4 benchmark is proving much more difficult than it was originally estimated.
Apple will be stuck with a similar issue with their Macs and market share. I don't think Apple's shareholders or even Apple's leadership want to grow Apple's Mac userbase and compete against Microsoft and their Windows counterparts. They are perfectly happy playing second fiddle and taking all of that profit at the same time.
Highly doubtful the introduction of the very first Apple silicon Mac Pro is going to be reduced to a press release...
Well, it's said that the performance improvements of M2 Pro/Max are modest compared to M1's, so it will be a bit weak for a Keynote. In the past they were not doing keynotes for basic specs upgrades, they normally arrive as a press releases. Also M2 Air was a total redesign, this is why it deserved a Keynote , not the fact of moving from M1 to M2.
Shouldn't the store be down by now? I think it always went down at 10 am German time ahead of a product launch.
Also, I just had a look at the front page of the store for the first time in forever and WOW what kind of messy design is that front page? So much clutter and the alignment makes my online marketing heart cry

...but, as I said, 13-14" laptops probably outsell minis & studios several times over, so there's room for a bit more product overlap in that market.
Apart from the sales volume issue, that's regular M2 vs. M1 Pro, and while, yes, the M2 may beat the M1 Pro on some single-core tasks, it has the same limitations as the old M1 when it comes to things like number of ports and multiple display support, plus the extra cores on the M1 Pro will likely still prevail on multi-threaded tasks (like video and graphics). I don't think a (regular) M2 Mac Mini would be an issue.
My point was about the suggestion of a M2 Pro Mini which could easily be all-round more powerful than the M1 Max Studio with faster cores plus more of them, the same number of ports and support for at least 3 displays.
I think cannibalisation is more about base prices - I don't think it's that unusual for the fully BTO'd version of a model to be a poor deal vs. the next model up, and even with your math it's still cheaper. I'm speaking as someone who bought a M1 Max Studio but would probably have bought a M1 Pro Mini/Studio had one been available.
I'd have thought that any interesting by way of an ASi Mac Pro would have enough developer implications to warrant a WWDC pre-announcement, like (at least) the last two Mac Pros and iMac Pro. Unless, of course, it's a bit of an embarrassment - like "well, basically we're updating the Studio Ultra to M2 Ultra and calling it the Mac Pro". Lots of previous threads chewing over why making an Apple Silicon equivalent of the 2019 MP isn't so simple.
Honestly, I wouldn't rule out anything (including "total false alarm" or "iPhone Socks") at this point, although some of the most recent postings do have a feel of "we know it's the MBP and Mini but cant say so" about them.
Yes, which is why I still don’t understand why Apple has two laptops and four desktops.
You’d have bought a machine with an M1 Pro but just 16 Gigs of RAM?
I find that surprising. The (hypothetical) base model seems silly to me, much like that of the 13- and 14-inch MBPs. If you actually have pro needs, surely the base config is too limiting.
Yet what I quoted was your comment about M2 Pro single-core performance versus M1 Max single-core performance; but sure, move the goal posts...
Apple laptops:
- 13" MacBook Air - M1 & M2 variants
- 13" MacBook Pro - M2
- 14" MacBook Pro - M1 Pro & M1 Max variants
- 16" MacBook Pro - M1 Pro & M1 Max variants
Apple desktops:
- Mac mini - Intel i5, Intel i7, & M1 variants
- 24" iMac - M1
- Mac Studio - M1 Max & M1 Ultra variants
- Mac Pro - Intel Xeon
I would buy this or at least update the DVD Player to support Blu-ray. I know it isn't going to happen but I can dream. I cannot digitally purchase or watch online many movies and there are special edition box sets that are awesome.
My prediction: new colours for iPhone (Pro), new Mac mini.
