Dang, strong news day for being Sunday!
So, I'm guessing this means the next iMac redesign will also have a 31.6" screen for the larger model, and probably a 25" screen for the smaller model.
Because not everybody likes the larger screens. 25" isn't too far off 27", but it's around the same size jump as a 27" to 31.5".Why not 27" for the smaller model? That form factor is dirt cheap these days, and I still find the difference between a 27" and 31.5" to be mind blowing, even if you're only talking about 1/3rd more screen space.
My guess is it is 6K only because that's the resolution they need to keep it 'retina' at over 31" - like you say the resolution doesn't make much sense otherwise, not suitable for upcoming 8K stuff and way overkill for 4K.
I wonder I) if this will have HDMI ports to connect Xbox / Playstation II)
Are people seriously thinking this will be $2000-3000? Why?

And that image seems to imply no Apple Watch Series 5 until 2020, which is fine by me!
But has there ever been an Apple Standalone Display that wasn't fairly to completely Drool-Worthy?I predict it will be pricey![]()
With what I’m hoping (iOS feature boost, low light photography, iOS splinter for iPad with improved productivity features, AR advancements, and massive changes to SiriKit and HomeKit) this could be the most interesting WWDC in years.
Based upon previous Apple monitors, and their whole philosophy these days, I would expect it to be exceptionally expensive and tremendously inflexible..
..but super thin and "gorgeous" no doubt.

Because back in the day, adjusted for inflation, the 30" ACD's were even more than that actually IIRC.
(I'd have to dig up my receipts - maybe someone can chime in with what they paid out the door/when for a 30" ACD?)
If you did stuff like Video Editing or Multitrack Recording (or Publishing Layout, or Coding, or...) you might understand...Way too big, imo.
Have no idea why people want to sit right in front of massive television-sized displays. It looks gaudy. Same with the massive phones they make now.
Hope they make a smaller version, but I doubt they will.
30 in. ACD was $3299 in 2004
I would think that a "Pro Only" iMac strategy would be quite folly; considering that the iMac is the "go-to" Desktop Mac for many NON "Pro" Applications, like office-work, students, homes, etc.I wonder if 2019 is the year we see a significant redesign for the iMac (maybe Pro only?) and MacBook Pro. increase the screen to bezel ratio, bring in Face ID...
What?This is definitely welcome news, introducing new hardware that blows away current gen displays is what Apple should be doing.
Now can I have a Qi charger inbedded in Apple TV so that it can charge my Apple TV remote, or whatever other device I place on top of my Apple TV!
Ouch..
That's about $4400 in today's money.
My $4k estimate for the new 6k monitor was....(gasp)...."low"
I can't see it being up at the $3000-4000 level, these days.
Remember, the LG 5K's were originally $900, discounted by Apple ~25% on the $1300 now. (I bought two in UK at £875 each, from $1279 now).
A slightly bigger/wider (i.e. same ~218ppi resolution) 6K, even Apple-branded, wouldn't logically command more than $/£1500 by anyone who can see the current marketplace options going forward.
Back when the 30" ACD was released, the mass availability of displays was much lower: they were 'special' items for the business minded user. These days displays are everywhere in the consumer space, as are flat TV's, so the pricing of panels to go in displays goes down very quickly, by the time the (non-super-300"-8K prototype!) early stuff, has passed.
But Apple may want to keep it more 'exclusive' (they like to piss-off their users these days, lol!), so nothing is beyond belief.![]()
The only really big negative I foresee is the way I expect it to be locked down to an Apple only world... no hooking your PS4 or Blu-ray player (and certainly not your PC laptop into it) which unfortunately kills a lot of its appeal as a central media hub. But we’ll see. I’m really excited to see what they come out with. I regret not knowing better at the time and picking up a 5K iMac when they came out. The experience is so much more immersive and enjoyable if you do anything related to photos, graphics, etc... and movies look incredible on it.
Nah, it's already creeping down.LG’s 5K2K is $1500 right now. I don’t find it too much cheaper than that. It sounds to me this Apple 6K3K will be $2k+
How long's a piece of string? It could be bang-on accurate, or completely wrong. Sorry.How accurate are these leaks typically? Just purchased an LG 34 UW 5K2K monitor and would rather return and wait for an Apple display if we're expecting it to release soon.
Likely using a Cobb type of backlight panel. But instead of a tight grouping of the micro LED's like you see in Cobb flashlights this one uses a more dispersed layout and managed its output in a programmatic way like some TV's do to improve dark areas.What exactly is a "Mini LED-Like Backlight Design"? It's either LED or a backlit panel... what is "LED-like"?

It might look guady but it sure lets you have plenty of windows open at the same time. Mine is 40” and I love it. Not sure I could go down in size. But then, I’ve always been a minitor hore.Way too big, imo.

Kuo is usually right on hardware stuff. But it may happen later than he predicts.How accurate are these leaks typically? Just purchased an LG 34 UW 5K2K monitor and would rather return and wait for an Apple display if we're expecting it to release soon.
