Sporting the powerful M1 Max or the new M1 Ultra processing cores and 64 or 128 gigabytes of unified memory, these are systems designed for power-hungry users with demanding workloads.
The Mac Studio is a great professional investment for workspaces with high-computation needs, like researchers and digital artists. The M1 Ultra is a beast of a processor, comparable in raw processing power to the current Mac Pro lineup, for much less money. That said, part of the excitement of the M1 Ultra is what it promises to do in a Mac Pro chassis, with all the extra power, RAM, and discrete graphics processing support that promises to add. But when it comes to power for the price, the Mac Studio is arguably Apple's best computer ever. Read on to find out if the Mac Studio is right for your office.
THE M1 ULTRA: POWER WITH A PRICE
The Mac Studio brings the impressive Apple-made M1 series processors to its high-end desktop computers, and with a real splash: the new M1 Ultra. You don't have to buy the M1 Ultra with your Mac Studio: you can go with last year's M1 Max, and that is likely quite enough power for most, but for the truly demanding, the M1 Ultra is in a new league.
"THE M1 ULTRA'S POWER WILL BE COMPARABLE TO COMPETITORS IN THE HOME-OFFICE DESKTOP SPACE AND HAVE ENOUGH POWER FOR HEAVY PROFESSIONAL USE."
The M1 Ultra is two M1 Max chips married together on the same die, using a new architecture so they act as a single system-on-chip. That means it's got up to 20 central processing unit (CPU) cores, 64 graphics processing unit (GPU) cores, and 32 Neural Engine cores all on the same die. That is above average, to put it mildly. The M1 Ultra's power will be comparable to competitors in the home-office desktop space and have enough power for even heavy professional use.

LOCK YOUR APPLE ID WITH A PHYSICAL KEY
Security keys are physical items that can be used to verify your identity when logging into your Apple ID. If you are planning to use security keys, make sure you have at least two. Apple requires you use two, so that if you lose one, you will have another as a backup. At iPhone Life, a brand we recommend is the Yubico Yubikey 5Ci ($75).
IT'S TIME TO USE YOUR APPLE WALLET!
Apple Wallet lets you virtually store your credit and debit cards, rewards cards, boarding passes, movie tickets, and more all in one secure place.

WHY I DITCHED MY APPLE WATCH FOR THE OURA RING
Every morning for the past three months, I wake up wearing a shiny gold ring on my right pointer finger. If you look closely, you can see beams of red or green light leaking out the sides as it scans my heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature. I roll out of bed, grab my phone, and open the Oura app.
THE BEST APPS OF 2024
One of the most frequent questions I’m asked by friends and family is “Which app should I download?” With millions of options out there, choosing which apps to use is a task that stumps many people. Will a free version overload you with ads? Is the paid version worth it?
OPINION: I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE WITH APPLE VISION PRO, AND IT SUCKS.
Color me a virtual-reality optimist. Alongside writing for iPhone Life, I’m a video game developer, 3D artist, and sci-fi author. I own a Meta Quest 3 and use it all the time to play games and view 3D models as I work.
