There's always the paralysis of waiting for the next model. But the M2 Studio was only announced at the end of June, and now we're looking at the M3 coming out just a few months later. That's annoying, not just selling, but announcing and releasing high end computers that you know will be superseded within a few months. Especially since without choosing a base model, Apple was offering 4-6 week delivery windows. It's July, you buy a brand new Mac with a new processor on release day, it arrives in the middle of August and look, 6 weeks later, Apple is announcing the M3 Mac.

The M2 Ultra will not be superseded within a few months. That's not how this works. The M3 Ultra will probably be ready some time mid next year. The M1 was released November 2020; M1 Pro/Max October 2021; M1 Ultra March 2022. The M2 was released June 2022; M2 Pro/Max January 2023; M2 Ultra June 2023. If you need an M2 Ultra, your needs aren't gonna be met by the base M3.

  That's a good point, true. Thanks for the timeline.
