1. Apple widthraws its 1k usd stander: is their pricing out of control?
When Apple announced the prices of the new Apple Pro Display XDR there was a surprise: the very special and beautiful pedestal to place it on the desk was to be sold separately for a fifth of the price of the screen.
A thousand dollars compared to the 5000 of the Pro Display and the 6000 of the new Mac Pro could make even the biggest fan of the Apple desist from the purchase, above all because of the numerous alternatives even at low cost that are already in circulation. The optional Apple XDR display support is a gem: it costs $ 1000!
Apple Pro Display XDR support is not included in the package and has already achieved a record: it is the most expensive Apple accessory ever.
