But all that extra chunk is there by design for the beasty internals. Inside, you’ll find an M1 Ultra, a minimum of 32GB RAM and up to 8TB storage. Alongside the tonne of I/O round back, alongside an SD card slot and 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports round front, this has everything you need for a professional workload.

Of course, that’s not the only thing Apple announced that is sure to get creative pros drooling. Alongside this, Tim Cook announced the Studio Display: a 27-inch 5K panel with A13 Bionic, an upgraded 12MP Ultra wide camera and improved audio. This is sure to give you one of the best windows into your work. Currently, these are also available for pre-order only on Apple (opens in new tab), with prices at $1,600 (£1,500).
