Battle of the "leakers" ... and in the end: "another one bites the dust" - who will it be this year?
Don't think so. At least not in any target display mode kind of way.if you get an iMac can you use it as a monitor in the future?
It’s too risky nowadays and you never know with Apple but Ross Young has an excellent track record.FFS! Analysts make up your mind! Some of us can't afford any new computer purchase and we need to know which computer will be available for us to not buy.
Jokes aside...cool?
No, there used to be a feature called Target Display Mode which allowed the use of iMacs as monitors but that functionality hasn’t existed on new iMacs for a number of years.if you get an iMac can you use it as a monitor in the future?
Nope. They stopped that. Some green company they are.if you get an iMac can you use it as a monitor in the future?
The only prediction he got wrong wasn’t even related to displays at all. He predicted the new iPhone SE would be called iPhone SE+5GDidn’t Ross Young completely miss out on the 27” Studio Display and Mac Studio combo? I get that he might have missed the Mac Studio since he’s a display analyst, but he had a tweet that predicted a 27” monitor, but then reversed himself that he had confused a display with an iMac, and had changed his prediction to a new iMac coming out. IIRC, that was his last prediction, which is wrong. That takes down his 100% track record.

Apple can always just keep stockpiling them for release at a later time.This is definitely true but the difference is this rumour is based on the panels being in production. I don’t think they enter this stage unless they are imminent.
yep and Cook is the mastermind of this.Don’t want to get into politics here but the only green Apple are really interested in is the colour of their money. Don’t blame them - it’s business - but the green revolution is just another money making exercise on the part of all the megacorps involved. As you all were…
You'd think that this would be easy for Apple's finance guys to figure out, but they did the same thing in recent memory with the iPhone SE 2 (2020) and the iPhone 12 Mini. The only explanations I can think of are that they either didn't anticipate the market overlap due to price or that they one of the products is intended to be low-quantity enough that they just don't care. Both of these explanations would imply a pretty high price for this miniLED 27" display, getting me back to what I said above.Why release a better 27" display so soon after releasing the Apple Studio Display? Even if this new display is $2500, the people most-likely to pay that are the ones who recently paid $1600 for the Apple Studio Display and now they're effectively locked-out because they already have a $1600 sunk-cost.
It was the same with the most recent Apple TV, it launched in May 2021 but references the original HomePod which was discontinued in March of the same year, but no reference of the HomePod mini which was launched in November 2020 leading us to believe the Apple TV had likely been produced and stored for quite a while, definitely before they released the HomePod mini anyway.Apple can always just keep stockpiling them for release at a later time.
Remember the AirTags? Hell, the entire product was leaked waaay before Apple officially announced them and released them, when was it? Last year or the year before, in the Spring?
If anything it suggests that although it’s likely to be cheaper than the Pro Display XDR, I expect it will be in line to replace it and be priced quite a bit higher than $2500, maybe $3000-$3500 or somewhere in that ball park.The whole thing seems counter-productive.
Why release a consumer 27" iMac with a better display than the one you sell for the prosumer/professional Mac Studio and MacBook Pro?
