Apple now selling updated LG UltraFine 5K Display [u]
Apple is selling a new version of the LG UltraFine 5K display at retail and online, with better speed from the USB-C ports, and more power deliverable to a host computer.
Update July 31, 10:00 A.M. Eastern time: While the original information we were provided said that the iPad Pro could connect at 5K resolution, clarification on Wednesday morning says that it cannot.
The display retains the previous model's 5,120-by-2,880 pixel resolution and supports the P3 color gamut. Three USB-C ports provide connectivity to downstream peripherals and can provide 94W of power to a host computer. Apple's existing 15-inch MacBook Pro requires 87W for charging.
A built-in FaceTime camera and microphone allows users to make FaceTime calls. The monitor also features built-in stereo speakers.
The LG UltraFine 5K display supports seamless macOS integration, allowing users to control both volume and brightness without physical buttons.
The new version of the LG UltraFine 5K display retails for $1299, the same as the original version that left Apple stores in May.

Well anyway I'll buy one, nothing better is going to come out.
I don't see a mention of 5K on Apple iPad Pro page. It just says:
"Video mirroring and video out support: Up to 4K through USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter and USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter (adapters sold separately)"
USB3.2 supports 20 gigabits per seconds, but that doesn’t matter, as it depends on what version of DisplayPort is supported, which if it’s 1.3 or higher, it’s 5k compatible.
Yes some may definitely benefit, but 'for the rest of us'...?
Let the flame wars begin...
I have the 4k display, which I believe is likely to be identical in all respects except for size, at my office; I'll take a closer look via device inspector on Thursday.
I have no idea what you're proposing here.
BTW when the MBP2015 came out, like the new iPad Pro, Apple said it would do 5K as soon as such a monitor was available. It never really eventuated. My limited experience tells me that if it doesn’t do it on launch day, it won’t eventuate. Apple loses interest quickly.
