Dude: "I just bought $5,999 XDR monitor. What are $999 compare to that? Might as well get one."
Anyone know what keyboard that is? Thank you!
+ I am sure most ppl buying it are either using it as a tax write-off or comping it thru their company (or both).
Yes but it's missing a cat or two isn't it?
Why on earth would anyone want a webcam in this? Just use your iPhone. And I seriously doubt people are on video calls with this monitor.
I don’t believe in telling people what to do with their money considering I spend money on what many people living in 3rd world countries would consider frivolous and stupid, but man, I can’t help but think about how many people or stray dogs and cats that $1,000 could have helped in developing countries… or even here in the states.
Just a heads up but Apple is probably working on a new stand for $1099.99, and it will be the best stand Apple has ever made.
Wild that Apple thought this was an ok price in the first place
Netflix? still stand is better.
The price notwithstanding, that's a very nice stand btw. Precision tilting and magnetic connector are two of my most favorite features of this stand.
Not necessarily. If a person is rich or has a really good salary, the price of the stand is like a price of cup of coffee for regular people.
I'll get a lot more use and enjoyment with the item on the right than the items on the left. Everyone's priorities are different. YMMV

Well, clearly the stand is being discontinued in favour of the Stand Pro Max for $1,999.
You have misunderstood. The stand is targeted for wealthier people. The buyers of that stand don’t have to make that decision. They can buy the stand and everything else they want. They certainly don’t buy that cheapness on the left. If you can’t afford the stand, that doesn’t mean there is no market for it. Like for other expensive premium products rich people buy.

$999 never feels like a cup of coffee, even if you make $1M/yr
From a purely pragmatic standpoint, the $999 stand has depreciated way less than a $999 MacBook Air I could have bought a couple of years ago.
Ah yes showing "I'm rich" even that piece of aluminum only cost a fraction to make outside country. Still valid bad financial reason to buy something like this.
It's 8 pounds of aluminum ($10 USD raw material) minus screws and plastic.
I'm not here telling people what to do with money, I'm just saying in my eye. They just paid $1000 for a $10-$20 raw materials. 🙄
I literally just brought a Pro Display XDR and stand two months ago. I knew one could be coming maybe next year or some thing but I swear if they release it alongside the iPhone I’m gonna lose my mind 😂
You mean when you see the person with a $999 stand and no monitor? This happen often?
They are almost as bad with money as the person who bought the $4999 monitor but didn't buy any sort of stand so it is just leaning against the wall or facing upwards on a table.
The stand isn't an upgrade. The monitor does not come with anything other than the magnetic dock for you to carry it from site to site and attach to stands and to VESA mounts (via the magnetic vesa adapter.)
Wait until you find out that Xeon and Threadripper CPU are mostly just sand.
I love my 27" Studio Display. Even if the tech in it is overkill. It's a complete package.
But that XDR... man I went and looked at in person at an Apple Store (finally). I was shocked it didn't come with speakers or a web cam... not to mention this stand! Sound coming from the little tin speaker in the Mac Pro itself kind of killed the experience, especially compared to what my Studio can do.
You gotta really need this monitor to buy this monitor.

I guess anyone looking at a Pro Display XDR right now is going to have to slum it with the optional VESA mount.
