This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: The first Mac Studio benchmarks make Apple’s much-ballyhooed M1 Ultra chip sound less amazing than we hoped. Maybe it’s not the unhinged beast we expected! But then, what do benchmarks really mean, anyway?
Also on The CultCast:
- The new Studio Display suffers due to some odd choices on Apple’s part.
- A software update might fix Studio Display’s tragic webcam.
- A 15-inch MacBook Air would tick a lot of the right boxes.
- And finally, a giveaway for the ladies!
