With an obvious October event looming on the horizon, it seems likely that the new Mac Pro will be announced then, and likely with an M2 Max/Ultra/Extreme option.

Interestingly, the Mac Studio with M1 Ultra is backordered until October 24. Coincidence? Is the Studio a stop-gap until the Mac Pro is announced? Could that be a thing? Just a temporary filler until the real McCoy arrives in October?

Clearly, Apple has no idea how to make the Ultra chip. That, or the process is so complicated that they can only build one every six months. We've had one on order sincere we could order, and it keeps getting pushed back. So, it will be at least a year from our original order before we get one, and by then it will be obsolete.

I think the M1 Ultra gets discontinued before it ships, and we get the M2 Ultra instead, and possibly only as a Mac Pro.

Maybe. It's weird timing.
