I agree with you, but I think they are not coming. As, the cost of the screen is that high, it's better to sell the computer separately, so you can update it, as your screen lasts at least 12 years and that's at least 3 computer upgrades.
If you've ever worked at a large tech company, you'll know that as organizations get larger, more and more processes and complexity seeps in.
I saw it happen both at HP and Nokia - creating products became harder and harder as every problem and issue was always solved by adding yet another process to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Heck, at Nokia they actually recognized that the process was becoming too heavy, but their solution was... to add another step into the process to "streamline the process", which actually made the process heavier, not lighter.
This is a very tricky problem to solve when a company reaches a workforce of tens of thousands of people.
I don’t reckon the technology on the current XDR will have a place in a world with large OLED panels. But maybe they’ll make a larger Studio Display-like product, perhaps with tandem OLED displays and an eye-watering price tag to match, and call it “XDR 2”, who knows…
Por qué no los dos?
I’d rather have two 27’’ displays than a larger 30’’ or 32’’ one. The latter make a lot of sense for people working in video editing and production, whereas the former are good enough for any graphic designer, office worker, etc.

Same here, except I want 2: One for the living room and one for my bedroom/home office/music studio.
My M1/M2 devices are still also humming right along. Hopefully, OS26 won't kill 'em.
Fingers crossed...
Tim's looking really old in this shot. That 48mp camera on the iPhone 17 Pro is really picking up the wrinkles on his face and neck
I've been holding off upgrading a lot of my devices for specific refreshes. AppleTV with ray-tracing, MBP with double the CPU cores of the M1 Max.
I'm also interested in purchasing an affordable 32" Studio Display with HDR and a more affordable AVP option - if or whenever Apple decides to make such options available.
Well, at least we know the cameras are working.
Now... If they could just get rid of the camera bump...
Why do you say this ? There is so much leaked info that I would imagine there is a very high likelihood of this coming out.
And I'll probably be perfectly ok with that
I didn't really want to spend what the XDR costs, but after trying several options I've decided to, only I'm not willing to drop that much on technology from 2019. (Studio display is too small for me).
according to the buyer's guide on this very site, the Mac Pro was last updated 833 days ago, while its average updating cycle is 938 days historically.
So no, probably not effectively dead.
TL;DR: the Mac Pro is a niche product that Apple generally updates only every 3-4 years
iPad is a much larger device. this is not for selfies, this is for calls and meetings in different orientations
It’s a technology it’s not designed exclusivelyfor selfies. It’s designed to use one camera to be more adaptive, which is the problem that would be solved here.
So basically "everyone hurry up and wait for more of the same thing" product lineup. Yawn.
It would be nice to have some "game changing" features, where technology changes the way you do things for the better. The last time Apple did this was with Apple Silicon and maybe VisonOS but who can afford the Apple headset?
C'mon Apple, let's gooooooo!

Not really. The average is that high because of the trashcan debacle.
Then they released the last intel mac pro and it was understood updates would be more frequent.
Something happened with the apple silicon transition, and it seems the chip they were working on for the mac pro (allegedly two Mx Ultras stitched together) wasn't feasible for whatever reason, and they released essentially a mac studio with pci ports but no way of using external graphics.
Hence my question.
I agree it's a niche product. Since they released the mac studio, a niche within a niche, really.
Hope not. I’ve been waiting a long time for a larger display without paying XDR prices
