Mark Gurman confirmed that Apple could unveil a new mac studio machine and a new display at the March 8 event. Gurman says that the Mac Studio and a new monitor are ready to go and will likely debut tomorrow.
The renders of the mac studio show a machine that is similar to a mac mini. The same square-shaped design as the current Mac mini, but it is four inches tall and has a new thermal design to mitigate heat.
Miani said that the mac studio would be announced during the spring event, and now Gurman is backing that up.
Am told the Mac Studio (smaller Mac Pro/more powerful Mac mini) plus the new monitor running iOS are “ready to go” - so I believe they should arrive tomorrow. https://t.co/MvrGwTfGmy — Mark Gurman (@markgurman) March 7, 2022
We first heard of the name "Mac Studio" last week from 9to5Mac, which described it as a sort of Mac mini and Mac Pro hybrid device. It appears that the same rumors about a high-end Mac mini and a smaller Mac Pro may have been about the same thing.
The hybrid Mac Studio could replace the high-end Mac mini, and it could be sold as a smaller alternative. It is not expected to be as powerful as the Mac Pro, but it is expected to use Apple's M1 Pro and M1 Max chips.
To go along with the Mac Studio, Apple is rumored to have a display ready to go. Miani said that the Studio Display will feature a 27 inch size with slightly larger bezels than the Pro Display XDR, and now Gurman suggests that it will run Apple's mobile operating system.
It was thought that a display with an A-series chip inside would be a successor to the Pro Display XDR. The monitor coming tomorrow is expected to be more affordable than the Pro Display XDR, but no pricing information is available.
Tomorrow morning, Apple will make public its full plans for the Mac Studio and possible Studio Display, with the Peek Performance event kicking off at 10:00 a.m. The time is in the Pacific.
