Some YouTuber, please make this video.
I want to see this box.
I mean, so here's the thing.
The pricing, it replaces the Pro Display XDR, and thank God it doesn't cost what the Pro Display XDR did.
But it costs a lot.
All right, so here's the price.
3300 with the standard glass, 3600 with nano texture.
can't possibly cost the same amount nope uh but that's yes if you can get a stand or you can get no stand and there is no savings for that uh so man yeah and so here's the thing with this price first of all i think it is somewhat unconscionable to have this price and not have like an iphone quality like good back camera as the camera because as far as i can tell it has the same camera as the studio display which granted is supposedly improved but it's still 12 megapixel whatever but like
$3,000 monitor, I believe there should be room in the margins to put in a good camera from an iPhone, not a really gritty one.
But whatever, maybe it's hard to get those wide-angle ones.
They're really into center stage because they're not going to have a little motor moving the camera, so they want a wide-angle one.
I don't know what the issues involved are, but it just seems...
like a little bit of a shame that the camera isn't significantly better.
I mean, hey, this has got the A19 Pro instead of the A19.
Why couldn't they bump the camera as well?
And the price, although it is somewhat offensive, this is the best big monitor you can buy from Apple, and it is a very good big monitor by the standards of the entire industry.
It's not price competitive.
You can get other monitors with the similar specs for less money, but it's not as if there are other monitors out there that are a million times better than this.
Like these specs of this, 1,000 nits sustained, 2,000 nits peak, 2,000 dimming zones, really good calibration, nice case.
There's not a lot of monitors out there that are actually better than this monitor.
