Naming alone will confuse shoppers for months.

M6 mini + M5 Ultra Studio is a weird split but covers both ends.

M6 on mini is the everyday machine; Ultra Studio is the render box.

Shoppers will need a chart just to pick the right SKU.

I like that Apple didn't force Ultra onto the mini chassis.

Bookmarking — useful pairing of the two desktop stories.

Hard pass on Ultra unless my queue is actually starving.

Same naming mess as M1/M2 Pro era — expect support tickets.

Interesting split; my buy is still a loaded M6 mini.

Source notes match the Studio unveil thread — consistent lineup.

Classic Apple: two desktops, three chip names, one confused buyer.

Not hyped for SKU soup, but the performance bands make sense.

Solid pairing of the two machines — less clickbait than usual.

If ports on mini improved, that's the sleeper upgrade.

I'd rather max RAM on mini than chase Studio unless I edit 8K.

Quiet majority will just buy the mini and never think about Ultra.

We'll see if retail staff can explain M5 Ultra vs M6 without a flowchart.

Waiting for independent benches before I pick a side.

If this sticks, it actually simplifies my upgrade path.

Same take as last year honestly — chip naming still outruns the shopping guide.
