It’s normal for a logic board to contain a small battery CR2032 or similar battery.
The box could also have included a Magic Keyboard or Magic Mouse.
Wow! That’s some seriously iconic design!🙌
I’m beyond annoyed. 4months and still no sign of my 16”MBP!
I believe Simon was one of us waiting for 16”MBP, that got utterly fed up and was about to cancel its order and this was Apple generous way of making amendments😏
Luckily it uses a heavy duty power plug.
If I measured correctly, the USB ports actually match a regular US power plug. Imagine a dummy plugging a power cord on the front...
I wonder how many mac sites the guy contacted saying he could give them exclusivity on photo's of the mac studio for a price and Mac4Ever were the ones to bite. Come on MR, own up, I bet you was contacted by this guy but turned him down for reasons.
This thing is pretty exciting. I have a 14" M1 Max - seeing what an Ultra can do will be mind blowing.
It took 10y+ for Apple to understand they need to address the prosumers segment, people who want affordable machines for semi-pro usage or small pro, contrary to big corporations, media agencies and creative studios ! People like me Great move, a bit late but great !!!
Great move, a bit late but great !!!
It took 10y+ fr Apple to understand we need an affordable powerful Mac since the new Mac Pro was definitively for big corporations, creative studios, etc...

I use toslink out to a receiver, so that's not a concern for me. I haven't had keyboard volume control in years!
And yeah, I realize Apple dropped toslink on their M1 systems. I'm going to have to get an USB to toslink adapter when I do upgrade. At least they're cheap.
How CONVENIENT! This person just HAPPENS to have a CAMERA with which to take PHOTOS with!
Apple sent this early on purpose to get good publicity.
Typical Apple. Tsk, Tsk. ☝️

Looks genuine. Waiting to see more real life pictures and videos in the coming days.
Yup, that's what I do. My current iMac has a toslink adapter and cable coming out of the back, going around the room to an a/v receiver. If the jack were on the front, or on the side like the current iMacs, it would be awkward.
Though it's moot for me since Apple dropped toslink and you need a USB adapter anyway. It's one of their more frustrating recent decisions.
If memory serves me correctly, that handle looks similar to the one on the box for my M1 iMac but I'm too lazy to get up and check to be sure.
It sure doesIt seems odd to have clicked that link and missed the additional photos
I'm sure when people get products early it's not by mistake it so that it generates free marketing for Apple or any other company that sends stuff earlier than they announce.
Because the product is embargoed until 18 March. Obviously the stores have to be geared-up to dispatch all this kit in readiness for the release date, but they're not supposed to actually dispatch it.
not that I don't believe this story is true, but The Mac Studio has batteries? Aside from the one that keeps the clock going.... probably a dime sized battery, what's the need for the battery sticker on the outer box?? I've bought lots of things with those dime batteries and no label on the box.... just curious...
They changed strategy to "Apple must have done this on purpose to get free advertising". ?
