    The stand cost $1000.  Lots of companies will offer compatible stands far cheaper.
    They won't offer a cantilever balanced stand and ease of use that one offers. People will buy the stand. Studios will buy the stand and the VESA expansion kit.

    Apple missed the mark completely on this... completely. They custom designed a Mac Pro for Pixar... what about the rest of us? FFS...
    You're not the target market. Buy the iMac Pro or iMac.

    This is perfect for Logic Pro X and looking forward to buying one while also working on Solid Modeling and in FCP X. Logic Pro X making soundtracks, complex arrangements for music will be boundless now. Can't wait for the new version of LPX to arrive.

    Stunning products. Apple won't go AMD until Zen2+ is out next year and can upgrade iMac/iMac Pro/Mac Pro/Macbook/Macbook Air/Macbook Pro/Mac Mini in one shot. The ultra low power Ryzen Pro APUs with NAVI won't arrive until later this Fall or early Spring. That gives Apple 2020 to go AMD and adjust prices across their entire line up while actually increasing their gross margins.

  • 2019 iPod touch: Everything you need to know

    Or... you could just give the kids your old phone.

    Good for you never recycling your old shit. Most of the world does recycle, and besides, this device hardware is far better than the 5S, and millions of kids will be thrilled to own one.

    The A8 CPU was one year old when the 6th generation iPod Touch was released. The new 7th generation iPod Touch slipped an entire year with its 2.5 year old A10 CPU. On top of that, Apple is charging $200 for the 256 GB upgrade. A much faster 256 GB M.2 sells for $40. The Hubris is strong with this one. Apple asked "we have to update the iPod Touch so it can run iOS 13, what is the least we can do?" The 7th generation is the answer to that question.
    Apple's not going to invest hundreds of millions in retooling so you can get a ``much faster'' M.2 form. Your kid doesn't give a shit. This is targeted mainly at pre-teens.
