M2 Macs will absolutely be faster than M1 Macs, but the question you all keep asking me right now is — by how much? So, in this video, we’re going to break down the most likely speed increases for both single and multicore, across all the cores, as well as some potential surprises when it comes to processors, processes, and off-core features.

I made a video. Marques made a video. So many videos. But you still had questions. So many questions. So many concerns. You still had years of myths, misconceptions, and misinformation just… harshening your charging chill. So, I spoke to a bunch of super smart battery engineers and testers, and I’m going to address all of them, right the FAQ now!

We’re missing a Pro. Somewhere between the M1 Mac mini and the M1 Max and M1 Ultra Mac Studios, we’re missing an M1 Pro Mac mini or Mac Studio. It’s just a giant, gaping gap… of a hole in what’s otherwise the best all-in-none lineup Apple’s ever had. Or will have, once the Mac Pro ships later this year.

After using using and reviewing it for about a month now, that’s the biggest thing, the main thing I’d change about the Mac Studio. Because otherwise, as far as G4 Cube, Mac mini, J90 Mac Pro-style high-compute appliances go, it’s almost impeccable. Almost.

So, if I were to spec...

iPhones have Wi-Fi. iPads have Wi-Fi. MacBooks. iMacs. Mac Pros. Apple TV. Apple Watch! Has Wi-Fi. 6 product tabs on Apple.com… like 5 of ‘em have Wi-Fi. And yet Apple does not sell a Wi-Fi router. Not any more. Not since they murder death killed the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme lineups back in 2016. Not even when Google launched their router, and bought Nest, when Samsung bought SmartThings, and Amazon bought Eero. No, they left arguably one of the most important connections customers ever make, between our Apple gear and the internet… just all shades of naked and afraid. 

So, what do you do? Well, if you’re Apple. Maybe, just maybe, you do what you just did with displays and bring the routers back. Or… no… scratch that… You create something new. Something… more. An ecosystem, of mesh routers, HomePods, Apple TVs, and other gear that can do what every product Apple makes has to do in order to survive — offer unique differentiation — a combination of hardware, software, and services — that only Apple can do... Make a new generation of AirPort mini and AirPort Pro routers!

Apple has just announced their annual Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference. WWDC 2022. Dub Dub if you’re OG. And here’s what they say:

"Call to code: Join developers worldwide from June 6 to 10 for an inspiring week of technology and community. Get a first look at Apple’s latest platforms and technologies in sessions, explore the newest tools and tips, and connect with Apple experts in labs and digital lounges. All online and at no cost.

"In addition to the online conference, Apple will host a special day for developers and students at Apple Park on June 6 to watch the keynote and State of the Union videos together, along with the online community. Space is limited and details on how to apply to attend will be provided soon."

So, what's happening... and why?

In this video, I’m going to help you figure out if you can get by on the M1 Mac mini — or MacBook Air — or if you really, truly need one of the way more expensive but also way higher performance M1 Max or M1 Ultra Mac Studios — or MacBook Pros — and, more importantly, I’m going to tell you exactly why!

Two years ago today I quit my big media job, started this channel, and then 2020 happened, and I panicked. But you were all so very here for it. Beyond any expectation. And so, 400 videos, 320K subs, and almost 50 million views later, we’re going celebrate… with an AMA, YouTube-style! Let’s do this!

So, where’s Apple going to cram some custom silicon all up in next? I mean, besides the recently patent-sparked M2 Magic Keyboard computer speculation, the one that’ll somehow re-invent the Apple II and obsolete the Mac mini box at the same time, right? More on those in a perf per watt minute! And, I only ask because… they just put… an A13 Bionic, basically the whole entire board from the current iPad nothing, memory, 64 Gigs of storage, the all of it, into… a monitor. A screen. The Studio Display. Basically, because the Tim Cook doctrine says Apple’s only ever going to enter — or re-enter — markets where they can provide unique differentiation and value. Doing things that only Apple can do, as the mantra goes. They’re a huge company but they still use small teams with limited bandwidth so if you’re not the next iPhone, you have to prove you’re worthy of some of that time and attention because it’ll always come at the expense of something else. 

So, using custom silicon to give a desktop display the same features that Apple’s MacBook displays have been enjoying for the last few years is just exactly the kind of unique differentiation that’ll get you bandwidth — and sign off! — True Tone ambient color temperature matching, spatial audio speakers, noise-canceling mics, Center Stage pan, and zoom webcam — the freaking thing actually runs iOS 15! It even gets software updates… and experiences software bugs… like a computer. So, what's next?!

Two weeks later review! I might buy a Studio Display. I’m just waiting to see what the rumored MiniLED version ends up being. If it’s 27-inches and 5K for $2K plus, I’m in. I just want the HDR. Since 120 Hz still isn’t physically possible over Thunderbolt at over 4K. If it’s 36-inches and closer to 7K for $7K, I’ll leave that for the Pixar’s, ILMs, and… you know, the mega-YouTubers. If you don’t care about HDR but you do care about 5K, and a lot, then… who am I kidding, you already ordered.

I did order an M1 Ultra Mac Studio. But the truth is, after 2 weeks, I’m kinda looking forward to going back to my M1 Max 16-inch MacBook Pro. I like the MiniLED display, I love being able to move around from my Kitchen counter to standing desk to studio to couch. And the Max is a big enough breakthrough for me, essentially doubling my render speeds and getting them off the CPU so I can still do other things like thumbnails in Photoshop and video prep in Safari, that I can finish my work and put it on to upload before I go to bed, instead of waiting forever for it to finish… before I can go to bed. And the Ultra does speed that up even more.

Apple’s working on a 15-inch MacBook (Air) that could launch sometime in 2023. That’s according to supply chain exfiltrators Ross Young and Kuo Ming Chi. But… are they though?
