The M2 Max and Ultra Mac Studio was launched at WWDC 23 last June, and the M3 age of Apple’s System on a Chip began last November. With WWDC 24 sneaking up on us, it’s time to begin looking forward to the next Mac Studio.
The reports will begin to increase as June 2024 techniques, and whatever is reported now can alter (and likely will) before the brand-new Mac Studio is launched. We’ll monitor what’s being stated in this post.
M3 Mac Studio: Release date
We’ve had 2 generations of Mac Studio. The very first gen (M1 Max and Ultra) was launched in March of 2022. The 2nd gen (M2 Max and Ultra) was exposed at WWDC 23 in June. Apple will likely continue with a March or June timeframe for the next Mac Studio.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman stated in the paid variation of his Power On newsletter that the next Mac Studio might introduce in the 2nd half of 2024, which likely implies a WWDC release. ICsmart reports that the brand-new Mac Studio might get here in the middle of this year. Considering that Apple does not typically hold standalone occasions throughout the summer season, WWDC is a winner.
The M3 Max and Ultra Mac Studio might be launched by June 2024.

M3 Mac Studio: Price
No reports on the rate for the M3 Mac Studio have actually been made. Here are the basic setup rates of the present M2 Mac Studio lineup, for referral.
- $1,999/ ₤ 2,099: M2 Max with a 12-Core CPU, 30-Core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 32GB merged memory, 512GB SSD
- $3,999/ ₤ 4,199: M2 Ultra with a 24-Core CPU, 60-Core GPU, 32-Core Neural Engine, 64GB merged memory, 1TB SSD
While the cost of the Mac Studio has actually currently increased beyond the U.S. (it was initially ₤ 1,999 in the U.K.), costs did not alter in the U.S. when Apple updated from the M1 to the M2 chips, and rates might remain the very same with an M3 upgrade. When Apple launched the M3 Pro and Max MacBook Pros, the rate for the basic setup M3 Max design increased by $100, so there’s an excellent possibility that the Mac Studio costs go up.
M3 Mac Studio: Design
No reports about style modifications to the Mac Studio have actually been made. The existing style works well and is going on its 3rd year, so Apple most likely isn’t going to alter it. The only possible exception is a brand-new area black color choice to match the MacBook Pro.
M3 Mac Studio: Specs and functions
The primary (and most likely just) modification that will occur with the upcoming Mac Studio is with its SoC. The Mac Studio ought to continue to have limit and Ultra variations of its M-series chips, so the brand-new chips we will see are the M3 Max and M3 Ultra.
