I do not need an M2 Pro mini, my M1 Ultra studio is fast enough.

@paul The M1 Ultra is much faster.

@snazzyq I'm not so sure, Xcode isn't all that great at parallelizing across 20 cores, specially for the very frequent small incremental builds I do.

@paul @snazzyq For many developers, I suspect 96 GB of RAM and M2 Max core count might win out.

@gruber @paul @snazzyq Agreed. Apple really needs to update that Mac Studio with M2s if it wants that product to remain competitive (both models of it).

@EshuMarneedi @paul @snazzyq Last year the Studio arrived 3-4 months after the M1 Pro/Max MBPs. So I expect the M2 Studio and Mac Pro in 3-4 months. Maybe April, otherwise at WWDC in June. Apple is a company of patterns.

@gruber @EshuMarneedi @snazzyq I just hope they don't Mac Pro it, and just release it every several cycles. I do like the Minis but the Studio really is the perfect machine for me.

@paul @EshuMarneedi @snazzyq Same. I’m hoping iMac is the only one not on an annual-ish schedule. (And it’s be nice if it were. But I understand why it’s not a priority.)

@gruber I wonder if the state of the iMac is temporary fallout from COVID. It seems plausible that they had to set priorities, and decided they could meet the needs of the most customers by focusing on the mini and studio for now. @paul @EshuMarneedi @snazzyq

@dmnelson @gruber @paul @EshuMarneedi @snazzyq The internal goal has to be all of an M-generation’s variants being released at roughly the same time, right? I can’t imagine marketing is happy about some products (especially high end ones like the Studio) being on the Mn-1 generation. That may never be feasible for technical and/or development reasons, but it’s the cleanest story.
