Pricing has gone crazy here in the UK. Paid £1899 for my M1 Pro. Same spec M2 Pro is £2199.

Edit: at this rate when my previous gen one expires I'm going to think seriously about shifting back to ThinkPads...

Is it strange these were not announced during a live event?

They sometimes do this if there's nothing more than a spec bump, but also means there might be some other big releases coming soon.

No graphs and all comparison is with Intel's Macs, not with M1s.

My conspiracy theory / gut reaction is they want to hide this launch? or at least don't want too many eyes on it? I don't know why I think this but yeah. I have no insider information. This is an unsubstantiated guess.

No, they have done this in the past when the upgrade is only a spec bump with no other changes. They even do this with iPads sometimes.

I assume their main target is those still on Intel Macs as those who are already happy with M1 can't really justify already upgrading to M2 as it doesn't offer any major bump.

Strange that Apple still isn't offering OLED screens when most other laptop makers are this year...
