Gurman: 'Mac Studio' Mac Mini/Mac Pro Hybrid and New Display With A-Series Chip Are 'Ready to Go'

iOS in a display does not make much sense to me. What about iPadOS or tvOS? Those would fit better.

I imagine that Apple’s idea of what “studio” means is quite different that Microsoft’s.
It’s too low for me without a stand. Maybe your desk is too high.
Ah this could totally be, image post processing, both for output and for maybe an included camera.
Universal control for some reason comes to mind too.
What I find crazy though, in the case of anti aliasing, old analog tvs due to having always a continuous signal where naturally antialiased and it was basically the equivalent of what would be having “hardware instant super fast antialiasing chipset” today (minus all the drawbacks omitted).
Decent hot take, but what of the AR or VR excitement?
Peek performance sounds like a performance art peep show. I can see it now… engage your peepers for this wild show 8)

Display with A-Series Chip (A13 or upwards) is what I hear.
What I expect is:
Universal Control = Display not needing a cable to connect to Mac

I would so buy the high end model, I need something fast to render my 4K videos of rock climbing and snowboard from my go pro and it’s hours of shots and editing… and I might get the new Hero10 shooting in 5.3k60… definitely would be fast…
Ahhh. "Real" rumors, with renders and all. Loving it.
A new, less than $999 official Apple Display would be awesome. And about time too.
Has anyone considered that the larger "Mac Studio"-case could house some kind of dedicated graphics? SoC clearly has its limits regarding graphics. And at some point, Apple needs to do something radical to get on par with the performance offered from AMD and Nvidia – if not for this machine, then for the 'real' Mac Pro.

Which implies Airplay with lag. Not brilliant.Display with A-Series Chip (A13 or upwards) is what I hear.

I had the same thought… I run an AX network with 4 ASUS RT-AX92U (1 main 3 mesh) get around 700-800mbit in download and 500 in upload… my TVs are wired in Gbe… I still get terrible lag ?♂️
The inevitable lag in that would not be attractive to pro users. Heck I get to much lag between my Wacom and the display even using wires sometimes just because macOS drivers for Wacom don't run as fast as the all purpose mouse driver.
Isn't the lag for Universal Control very minimal though when connecting a Macbook and iPad? At least going from the videos I've seen it looks barely noticeable. Could be different in practice though.
Then again, sending mouse/cursor movements wirelessly probably requires much less data than sending an entire display/video stream. So it might not be comparable.
correct, add the steep Apple Tax on all 3rd party sourced RAM and SSD upgrades needed to make it useful for pros.

Universal Control does not transport the screen content. What do you want to control? iOS running in the display?
If this turns out to be the case I will be a lot lot poorer by the end of the night… been waiting a few years for a mini LED desktop monitor!
Any internal expansion like that would be a case of “who are you and what have you done with the real Tim Cook?” - even the Mac Pro uses proprietary SSD blades.
If the rumoured “more powerful” M1 chip (maybe a dual M1 Max) is an option then the extra space may be for cooling, power supply and space for extra ports. Regular M1 Pro/Max would probably be quite happy in the M1 Mini form factor, which can support 65W Intel CPUs. I guess there’s no law against Apple having two sizes of case…
I can't believe the day is finally here. We are getting a new external display. God is real.
Hope we will get one at the end of the day. It is a prediction after all.
I won't believe anything before I see it.
And then there is the price. The display would have to be really amazing to justify the typical Apple price.
