Apple Silicon Mac Pro Reportedly Not Coming at WWDC, Mac Studio Refresh Likely Delayed Until M3

Will probably arrive earlier than the Mac Pro.
Moving back to x86 is not the solution.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. It’s going to take a while for Apple engineers to make Apple Silicon modular. We thought it would happen with the Mac Studio and it didn’t. multiple GPUs, RAM slots and PCI is not easy to do when your entire system is built around a different architecture. Apple should publicly disclose that its coming, but currently possibly in today engineering.

No way! We’re getting a MacBook Air 15” atleast. That will be a nice welcome change.
When I got my Mac Pro (just before the M chips were first announced) I was worried I'd gone down a dead end. I've had three years solid use of it now so it's already paid for itself and it looks likely I'll get at least another one before a replacement is available
The 15" will sell like hotcakes regardless of its CPU.
When the M3 is ready, the 13" will likely be refreshed together with the 15".
3nm CPUs are just not physically ready for market, it will be Q1 2024 before Macs will receive them.
first off. every computer Apple makes is the best computer.
Second, they’re no point. the i9-13900K Pairs well with the Nvidia 4000 series GPU. Apple partners with AMD. The 13900 series has some bottleneck issues with AMD GPUs even with the 7900XT series.
3rd, Apple prides themselves with high performance and low wattage. it’s the main reason fans big Mac’s
The 13900 series is a wattage hog maxing out 150W with my 4090.
Move back? The Mac Pro (still) uses an x86 Intel Xeon W chip. You can't move back unless you move forward first.
Apple should throw one of AMD's chips in it if they can't come up with one of their own instead of continuing to use the outdated Xeon W.
Releasing a 13900K Mac Pro would be pointless...
However, the Xeon W-3400 chips that Intel just released this year WOULD be a perfectly valid upgrade for the existing Mac Pro line.
Of course, the chance that Apple does that is somewhere around 2%

Thats irrelevant. The Mac Studio needs the M2 Ultra to pair with M2 Max for both model configurations for leaving M1 Max and M1 Ultra configs. At the same time Apple needs to have the M2 Ultra used in the Mac Pro so that there is another model that makes use of the M2 Ultra.
Like why make one expensive SoC like the Ultra for just one Mac model? In the meanwhile Mark only has to spin rumors about possible Mac Models showing and not knowing anything else about Macs.
Need better rumor sources.
Yup, this is the world they want us to live in. Now imagine 20 people doing that in a subway car, or at the office 🤣
Continuing to throw rumors at the wall and see what sticks, that’s fine and gets lots of attention.
We’re what, 6 weeks away from WWDC? I’m going to sit back and wait what Apple actually announces…

I see now issue with the MacBook Air 15" being offset from the 13" for a generation. I'm sure it will resynchronize eventually.
It is such a pity that the M* Quadra (4x M* Max Chips) has been so difficult for Apple to ship.
The one thing I do expect is: the Mac Pro and Mac Studio will continue with an interleaved cadence, with only one getting the new M* chips per release. M1 Mac Studio, M2 Mac Pro, M3 Mac Studio, M4 Mac Pro (an hopefully these will get us an M4 Quadra!!!!)

This is getting ridiculous, I want to upgrade from my 2017 imac but nothing is peaking my interest.
Oh the marketing team is going to have a lot of fun trying to sell that to the public.
It's not better, it's betterer!
The "Quadra" naming would make me salivate instantly.
Apple was in its dark age but those were amazing machines nonetheless.
What Apple rumors are nowadays:
- under display FaceID… delayed, not coming until 202x and when that time nears, delayed again
- under display TouchID… delayed, not coming until 202x and when that time nears, delayed again
- iMac 27… same
- blood glucose monitoring for Apple Watch… same
- bigger MacBook Air… same
- cheaper AppleTV… same
- new Mac Pro… same
- more than 5K display… same
The sensation is always that Apple underdelivers…

Really goes to shows how poorly thought out the entire Apple silicon transition was.
If you stop following Mac rumours, you could then just enjoy the exciting announcements that arrive just in time?
They made such a big deal with the 2019 Mac Pro about how they care about their most demanding pro customers and now it’s back to square one.
They need to either dedicate their efforts to it fully and not half-baked or just end the line. The lack of communication must not be pleasing to professionals.

They take SO LONG to put out/update products that matter (27 iMac, XDR display, this) and it’s always an anti-climax of nonsensical feature/functionality decisions when they finally come. Who cares anymore
Add:
-goggles: coming soon and will blow you away!
That's the nature of rumors, though. Some of these things were probably just ideas when they "leaked" and were nowhere near production.
