The alignment is what got me. Usually the product title is center aligned on the side of the carton the item resides in. Holds true for recent iPhones, iPads, MacBook Pros, and (anecdotally for me) a Mac Mini from 2018.

Just seems like an odd product name placement.
You guys SERIOUSLY think someone would go to all the expensive of actually create a 'fake' box just to show they (anonymously) got the studio a few days early? ?‍♂️

With regard left-alignment, that's not unusual at all (personally preferable to me) and it very much Apple part of design language (see iMac boxes).
 
The shipping box next to it has the warning that this product contains lithium batteries? A Mac Studio doesn't have that, neither does the matching display if he had gone that route.

The Studio Box looks like it was graphically faked.

Yes, there is a battery. Even iMac has two coin cell batteries.

UN3091 means there is there is lithium metal batteries inside.

You might be confused with UN3481 (Lithium Ion batteries inside).
 
I'll believe it when I see it unboxed.

That box does not look right, unless Apple changed their box design language.

EDIT: Wow, it very well could be a real box. Per Apple's environmental report, the design matches: https://www.apple.com/environment/pdf/products/desktops/Mac_Studio_PER_March2022.pdf

It's definitely a real box. Interesting style they're going with on it though, either the picture of the system or the Mac Studio text almost appears like it should be flipped upside down to be correct.
 
The Mac Studio label would be upside down when the box is put up (notice the Mac Studio itself is upside down in this position). Also it's weirdly left aligned. Seems unlike Apple but we'll see.
And you can see.... because Apple has already shared the packaging in their environmental report. Matches exactly.

I'm going to wait for Friday and see if I can find an M1 Max model (either or) with 32GB and 1TB storage in store. Otherwise, I'll order one eventually. I have an Intel NUC I've been using for my media center in my home (among other things). Will be nice to have the power to run some K8s clusters, my web server, and my media center all on a single box. My NUC is feeling the burn trying to do all of that right now. It's only packing a i5-7260U, 16GB, and 256GB SSD attached to my Drobo. This Mac Studio would be a beast to last me a handful of years.

When are the going to put the damned headphone jack FACING the user? I will never understand why it is always on the back side. Just stupid that you have to get out of your chair to plug in/unplug a headphone jack.

It doesn't come with a mouse or trackpad?
 
So embargo on reviews lifted tomorrow?
I thought the iPad Air 5 would be lifted today since the SE was lifted yesterday, then the Studio would follow.
