Apple Patents Dual 'Pro Stand' for Studio Display and Pro Display XDR

Forgive me for going off-topic and actually discussing the product... :p

I believe it was Jason Snell who said that he thinks the 27" 5K MiniLED display that Ross Young has talked about over the past year might be a smaller member of the Pro Display XDR family rather than a "Studio Display Pro". Looking at this new stand patent which leverages the magnetic latching of the current 32" Pro Display XDR, this could lend credence to the idea that Apple will offer the Pro Display XDR in multiple sizes: 27" 5K and 32" 7K (the rumored replacement).

Yeah that's what interests me about this story too-- what might it suggest about apple's display plans. Ross seems pretty sure a 27" miniLED is coming. I guess I'm hoping the 32" sticks around or even gets an update rather than being simply replaced by a 27" XDR.

If Apple would simply design their overpriced monitors with a standard VESA mount. It’s no that difficult.

For only $3799.

Just wait until you see the price for the unit that holds three displays.
 
I’m really looking forward for Apple to announce this product and the price, the internet will go crazy over this and it’ll be funny.
 
Plot twist: this is the actual iPhone “fold” design. You saw it here first guys!
 
Guessing the bend/fold in the middle will only go a few degrees. Otherwise whole thing will be unstable.

The Pro Display XDR and Apple Studio Display can be purchased with a standard VESA mount and many have suggested that customers go this route for the lower price and greater flexibility.

Apple is expensive. Always was and always will be so commenting on price all the time becomes boring.

Just look how much they charge for a cable.

So we can either accept it that we pay premium because they care about how things look (not always for better but in most case yes) or we can go to the competition, pay less but have ugly products as companies still don't seem to care how things look.

Good design is what every company should strive for.

That is very true, I remember paying $1499 for a blue iBook and that was the "low cost" Apple notebook. Adjusted for inflation, that is almost $2500 for a computer that looked like a blue toilet seat.

No, it is. Anytime Apple releases a new product, or even a patent disclosure. it's always a race to the bottom with people chiming in on how outrageously priced it will be. The higher the better - more forum cred and outrage. In essence, creating a straw man to knock the product down.

Much easier than discussing the merits/demerits of the design; which would take a wee bit of thought.

Ok to satisfy the request to make no mention of the pricetag:

The studio display is by far the worst monitor Apple has ever released, and the stand options are laughably poor. The 10 year old technology used in it is far inferior to other monitors on the market, and the only successful part of it is the astheticly pleasing design. The stand options for it are extremely limited, and the inability to swap it yourself is pure stupididy.

Oh, and I don't care about forum rep, internet points are meaningless and sad. Better?

My mistake. I thought the story and subsequent discussion was about Apple's recent patent application for a novel and clever dual display stand.

Seems you have another agenda and want to talk about something else. For some reason.

There is a difference between being expensive because of higher quality design and functionality, etc… such as their computers and mobile devices, and gouging your customers for other things, such as cables, monitors, etc… where their cables are not any better and the monitors are certainly no better… and the ascetics being a subjective view;… truth be told, Apple doesn’t even make the cables nor the monitors - they just put their logo on them…. does that justify the increase in pricing over like kind of product? No - it doesn’t and that why they draw so much criticism and ridicule… its not hard to justify the premium on their computers/mobile… but som people are just blindly loyal to the Apple logo and will not put common sense before it…

You want to pay $6000 for a sub $1000 display and add $1000 to that price for the privilege of having a stand for it, or $200 for an adapter so it will work with an industry standard wall mount? Go ahead… but don’t expect others to share that same zealotry towards a company thats exploiting weak minded people though excessive pricing on some of the things it sells.
