They've already done that. Whatever they're working on should be filling the gap.Whatever Apple is working on will be a very expensive niche product, unfortunately.

True it is expensive but when you look at the cost breakdown, they match up with iMacs.
$1200 for 27" LG Ultra Fine
$699 for Mac mini
Entry level 27 " iMac = $1799
That almost makes it seem like a bargain for the iMac, except where that Mac Mini now has an M1..the goal post has moved a bit.True it is expensive but when you look at the cost breakdown, they match up with iMacs.

New EU regulations for energy consumption in computer displays, televisions and electronic signs will come into effect on March 1st 2021. You can find the info on these regulations here:
More than a month ago, LG's 24-inch 4K UltraFine display was removed from Apple's online store across Europe. Now, the higher-end 5K, 27-inch UltraFine display has also been removed from Apple's online store in several European countries, such as France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and the UK.

Interestingly, both the 4K and 5K UltraFine displays remain listed and available for order in the United States. The 5K UltraFine display retails for $1,300 and offers one Thunderbolt 3 port and three USB-C ports. The display features up to 500 nits of brightness with a 5,120 x 2,880 resolution and P3 wide color gamut, and offers built-in stereo speakers, a camera, and a microphone.
Apple is reportedly working on a new lower-priced external monitor, according to Bloomberg. The new monitor would be offered alongside the current high-end $4,999, 32-inch Pro Display XDR. According to Bloomberg, the new monitor would be cheaper and aimed at mainstream consumers, rather than the professional market that the Pro Display XDR is aimed at.
(Thanks, Colin!)
Update: According to MacGeneration, a soon-to-be-implemented regulation across the European Union and the UK is the cause of the display's disappearance from Apple's online store in those regions.

Webcam, Mic and Speakers are the same in the LG I thought?+ Apple keyboard
+ Apple mouse
+ iMac quality webcam and speakers
...
I wish that were the case, but I believe only the panel itself is identical.Webcam, Mic and Speakers are the same in the LG I thought?
Initial purchase makes it comparable until you add the eventual upgrade....That almost makes it seem like a bargain for the iMac, except where that Mac Mini now has an M1..the goal post has moved a bit.
Interesting. Camera, speakers, and mic are serviceable to me. Didn’t notice a difference during my switch from a 2014 iMac 5K.I wish that were the case, but I believe only the panel itself is identical.
I concur that 32-inch is too big, at least when there are no other options in the product line. I still tote a 20” CD around for its portability on remote jobs. 27“ is about as big as you can go for that use and the heft of Apple’s displays makes even that a difficult proposition. 30” and up means it basically has to live at your permanent workstation. But If you are plunking yourself at a desk for 12 hours daily and absolutely need the screen real estate, and absolutely need a higher end panel for color work, AND absolutely need Apple’s aesthetic, then you are who the Pro Display is already made for.32-inch monitors are too big. I hope they just put out an Apple display that is 27-inch, 5K resolution.
