so many news outlets have made the mistake his company name is going to be LoveFrom, if you read the Apple press release you'll see its actually LoveForm. I suppose this many people making this mistake proves its not a great name.

Hi Mike just to let you know the XR price is $599. $449 is the trade in price.

No it is not. Monitor in 24 inch size is way too small and it is ill idea of someone who does not understand principles of human vision. It is the same as marketing foolishness from years ago about 32 millions of colors while human eye can recognize about 300,000. Selling on technical specs does not pay off.

If you really want to squeeze more information on screen that is expressed with 4K resolutions then you need minimum 27 inch monitor or better: 32 inch monitor. Tiny fonts do not work when you have to start using eyeglasses to see them. 24 inch monitor is for 1080/HD resolutions and it is old standard at this point, but popular with many applications including some office work.

That's why Macs do pixel doubling. A Mac running at 4K has text as large and readable as 1080P but it is twice as sharp compared to actual 1080P. Windows can't do this yet, which is why there are no PC 5K 27" monitors, the text would be too small on Windows but its fine on pixel doubled Macs like the 27" iMac.

The 5nm M2 was a stop gap anyway because 3nm wasn't ready in time so it's not surprising they ended manufacturing early given 3nm is ready now.

i7 is for server rooms only, it will be way too noisy with air cooling given Intel still hasn't improved on nanometers for so many years now. i5's only benefit is the hyperthreading which is unnecessary on a quad core. The i3 has 4 real cores and gives comparable performance to Kabylake i5 but even better is it doesn't have turbo boost which means more predictable and reliable performance. i3 gets my vote, save the money for the upgrade to 256GB SSD (which is ridiclous it isn't the base spec at this price).

I think 4 thunderbolt ports was overkill. If it has 2 controllers then they could have cut costs by only including 1 and got the price down to $599 ($699 if they had included 256GB SSD). Could even put a display port in the space to save people needing to buy a USB-C to display port cable. I can't see anyone running multiple 4k@60Hz monitors off this GPU. And no one in their right mind would use a thunderbolt 5k because at that additional cost the 27" iMac is within reach and offers so much more value than a mini.

where is the space grey 27" iMac?

Feel sorry for the person that has to go around all the 28 iPhones tapping the "are you still sure you want this app to access the camera" alert 🤣

if it was beeping it has been put in lost mode which means someone lost it some how
