Definitely won't buy iPad Pro at that price. No way.

Definitely will trade my 14 for 15 just for USB-C. 

Honestly curious; why?  Everyone clamoring for USB-C like it's going to be life changing and I just dont get it.  I couldn't possibly care less if my phone has USB C or not.  I only plug it in when I'm in the car for CarPlay.  And now I'll have to trash tons of lightning cables I already have.

Currently all my devices (MacBooks, iMac, Mac mini, iPad pros, external disks, cameras, etc) use USB-C ports. Also my car has USB-C port too. Eventually, we'll see more low power appliances with USB-C too. USB-C is the de facto standard interface for power and data; it makes no sense for Apple to keep clinging to Lightning interfaces. As soon as I get iPhone 15 with USB-C, I'll put those ridiculous lightning cables in storage and travel easily with just one cable to rule all my devices.  

Definitely will trade my 14 for 15 just for USB-C.

And those of us in the west think they work TOO hard. Life is about balance, and if TSMC can’t understand that, then they have little chance of success here. Remember the Foxconn suicides? Yeah, won’t don’t put up with a workplace like that. We walk. 

They are right. Americans aren't hard working people. They're lazy. They aren't competitive. 

China brings results, America consumes them. 

As for Foxconn suicide, more people committed suicides when they are not employed. Statistics matter and to blame suicide on Foxconn is hilarious and so detached from the whole context of suicide prevention. Asians value work more and if they don't work, they feel worthless and are likely to commit suicide. The suicide rate at Foxconn is significantly lower than the rate outside of Foxconn but for some reason, people are convinced people are killing themselves because of hardships at Foxconn. People at Foxconn are also paid more than the average outside of Foxconn and Foxconn is one of the most sought companies for many Asians to work for. 

Americans have NO business to impose their values on the Asians who see differently. Asians take pride in hard work and education more than Americans do. They love electronics and technology. They would be happy working 7 days a week.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understood display scaling affects UI elements only. Content elements (photos, pdfs, cad, etc) are (or can be) displayed at native resolution. The lines in Autocad on my 27" 5K iMac look about as sharp as a laser print hardcopy.

The elements of UI are rescaled but the content is often left alone at native resolution. It's up to the applications to implement the scaling of content. It did take a while for some users to get used to razor sharp display of content as they usually see pixels at lower resolution display and may prefer to see them - pixel peeping for them especially in imaging as they want to see how pixels are rendered or how sharp their images are.
