And that 1GB holds up better than Android phones with 3GB RAM.
Sure it does. Apple phones are magical.

It's frustrating - now that the battery is dying on my rMBP 2012, I might go back to windows soon.
Why not just arrange to have the battery replaced? It can't cost that much.
No, it's just good software and hardware engineering. They talk to each other.
Android is made by some other company and the hardware is made by someone else. Pretty much like Windows.
Actually, most of the software that runs on the iPhone is written by someone other than Apple, so so much for your theory.
As for Android: I guess you think only at Apple can hardware and OS engineers talk to each other and coordinate things. Because Apple is magical.
What are you talking about?
I do too, especially since I'd like one for my ultra reliable Mac Pro.I like this article...
Between Intel's issues with Skylake, the somewhat awkward transition to a USB-C world that combines USB 3 (now 3.1 Gen 2), Thunderbolt 3, and DisplayPort, and Apple's general disinterest in pleasing the high-end market, I have little hope we'll see a 5K Thunderbolt Display anytime in 2016.
DisplayPort 1.2 already does 5K over a single USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 cable using Alt Mode. Some Windows-based machines out now can do this. The only problem is it uses MST instead of SST as the MacRumors article states.Thunderbolt 3 only has DisplayPort 1.2, which simply doesn't support 5K displays.
Now, if you could get a USB-C port with both DisplayPort Alternate Mode and Thunderbolt 3, that'd work.

If Apple does release a 5K Thunderbolt Display this year, it will either have to only do MST
or they'll have to come up with some kind of magic solution like the 5K iMac's custom timing controller, but unlikely given that they don't control the inner workings of the USB-C/TB 3/DP standard.
Unfortunately, seeing how they are still selling a 2011 Thunderbolt Display at $999, I doubt they have engineers scrambling around One Infinite Loop desperately trying to build a 5K display before the tech required can comfortably run it.Knowing Apple, that one's more likely.![]()
I think MST is a hacky way to generate a 5120x2880px image on an external display and thus unlikely a solution Apple would implement. Until DisplayPort 1.3 is supported by Intel chips and Thunderbolt 3, I think the wait will continue for a next gen Apple display.Is it likely at all that with USB-C standard even with MST (still single cable) that 5k TB's will be announced in WWDC. Just a guess of course.

MST is still done over one cable. You just can't daisy chain anything past it. But DP 1.3 is long way off and I don't think there are any video cards that support it period right now. I think AMD announced something, but we'll see.
Yea, we'll see. I suppose they could go with some fancier implementation of MST that they'd be happy enough with to ship, but given that they've allowed the current Thunderbolt Display to languish since 2011 while still laughingly selling it for the same $999 price it launched at 5 years ago doesn't give me confidence they will release a 5K model this year with the tech not quite up to snuff.
