Apple's New Studio Display Boxes Designed to Fit in Your Recycling Bin

Displays are the least interesting thing to upgrade. I kept, and used, my last Dell monitor for 19 years.

That may have been the case in the past, but certainly isn't any more. Display technology continues to improve and will continue to stretch the limits of what we think can be done with a panel.
 
Do I actually live in a society where people don't know how to break down a box? Box cutters aren't something you need to go to t*rr*rist training camp for.

Sure, but I don't personally care about screen quality in that sense... 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
If they really wanted to recycle, they would have allowed the 27” Intel 5K iMacs to be used as monitors instead of having to throw them away.

I've had a corner in my garage reserved for boxes for years because I routinely upgrade and being able to list Like New in Box has a noticeable effect on resale prices. It's a small thing but buyers will pay 15-20% more for a "New to Me" item that comes with the original box, unopened accessories and documents versus the same device unpackaged. That's worth the space they take up in said garage, regardless of what my wife thinks about 😛

I also include a few Apple stickers from my hoard of previous purchases now that Apple doesn't provide stickers. Usually bumps up the sale price $5 or so. 😉

“As part of its environmental efforts”? Tim Cook is hostile to the environment in order to maximize profits, which is why literally all Macs don’t have user-upgradable memory nor user-upgradable storage anymore. Cook did that so customers’ Macs would become obsolete sooner, and thus they will have to purchase another new Mac sooner. That creates e-waste. E-waste is not “environmental efforts,” and is in fact anti-environmental efforts.

The reason for integrating RAM in the SOC package has been explained by someone else. If you Google "which computer company makes the most long lived products" you'll discover that its... Apple. Similarly, if you ask "which is the most sustainable consumer tech company" Apple is likely to show up. This information is readily available to anyone wishing to refute you. If you are going to make claims, wouldn't you be better off doing so from a position of strength?

Apple continues to stretch the limits of a 60Hz display... with 30% more bass... sorry, I'm still salty the "base" ASD is still 60Hz... all I wanted was 120Hz... for less than $3,299.

Completely agree. I have the Pro Display XDR and these displays don't appeal to me. If 32" I would buy, but not with 27" and less overall quality than the Pro XDR.

“Recycle the boxes …along with all those older Macs we won’t allow compatibility!!

We think you’re gonna love it!”

As part of its environmental efforts, Apple says its new Studio Display and Studio Display XDR boxes feature a collapsible design.

Apple says the boxes can be broken down into smaller pieces that fit in most recycling bins:Apple also says both of the new Studio Display models contain 80% recycled glass, which is described as an "Apple first." This feat applies to models with standard glass, not the upgraded anti-reflective, nano-texture glass.

To learn more about the new Studio Displays, read our coverage of each model:
The new Studio Displays are available to pre-order starting Wednesday at 6:15 a.m. Pacific Time.

Great.
 
In my garage is a PowerPC G4-era box, either for a Power Mac or the Studio Display that went with it. If I so chose, I could easily break it down to fit in my recycle bin. Evidently I’ve never wanted to!
 
the box is worth at least $100 on ebay. Scammers buy them and put bricks in them and sell them like new monitors out of the back of their trunks
 
Of course, the new Macs boxes you need to buy to run these new displays will already fit in the rubbish bin.
