#WWDC19 /MoWwjqXIUFĮveryone was freaking out about a $999 iPhone was but now apple is really out here selling a monitor stand seperately for an extra $999 /yOwiedDgLe You can buy an smartphone with the price of a monitor stand form the same company. C3yngHUGxRĪpples really out here selling $4999 monitors with no stand and then charging $999 for the stand lmao /wuuK0YJ0Mc When I thought apple prices couldn't get any more stupid and inflated for outdated garbage, they go and release a $1000 monitor stand. Only Apple would charge $1,000 for a literal stand and then display it like it’s a piece of art I'm not one of those 'Fuck capitalism, comrade!' people, but Jesus fuck dude. If there's anything that shows how much of a douchey, out of touch, elitist corporation Apple is, it's them selling a fucking monitor stand for $1000 (and not including it with the $5000 monitor). Someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. The *stand* for Apple’s new monitor will cost $999. if anyone buys this I'm gonna egg your house /Dh4Hom6Pl2 I know some dumbass apple stan is gonna be like 'well at least it's good quality' BITCH IT'S A STAND FOR A MONITOR THAT COSTS A GRAND. The simulation is broken this is literally a fucking joke. However, most have simply been repeating the words “$1000” and “the stand” to each other in various flavours of disbelief, ranging from amusement to numbness to rage as the words echo back from Apple’s hollow soul. In fact, you could buy a brand new iPhone XS for the same price. Many on social media have pointed out that Apple’s shiny new stick of aluminium is more expensive than some iPhones. This is likely due to the fact that, unlike Apple CEO Tim Cook, most of us do not have a net worth measuring nine digits.

is input just the USB-C/TB? If I wanted to plug in, say a PS5 (or my Intel Mac mini), is there a way to do that and switch inputs? I'm not up on the methods to do that kind of stuff with the new cabling.The reaction has been negative, to say the least. Speakers would be nice, but again, probably not as good as what I want to eventually get if I get into creating music again (ie. I've already good good of both, so I don't need them (and it wouldn't be good enough to replace them). Yes, the camera/mics would be nice I guess. But, pricing it over the longer haul makes it seem less expensive than sticking into an iMac you just have to toss when you're done with it.

I guess any other display gives that same future upgradability, though. I'm not saying those justify the increased cost, but if you need them, it's extra cables and setup hassle to buy 3rd party ones (and they likely wouldn't be as good).īoth fair points. When comparing to other monitors, you're forgetting the integrated camera and speakers in this.
