It appears everything in the US is going to be shutdown at the rate this is going.

This begs the question: Will the spring 2020 Apple product announcements be delayed?

I would guess the production of the products would have started at least early January, so it's only delayed the scale up of production, at the point Apple has probably already decided to delay until WWDC. But we shall see if even that goal can be met.

WOOHOO! BRING IT!

although, to be fair, at this rate my city will be getting it around 2033.

There is still a surprising amount of major cities that don't have flyover yet. To expect look around to have nationwide coverage like street view feels like it will take decades. At least those living in the now 9 cities it not covers can find it useful.

Well that sounds like President Trump was actually right, he did keep the Texas factory open, if Apple is otherwise ignoring it outside the US, also explains why there has been very little advertising of it being built in the US like the 2013 was.

Wait. It isn’t even 5K much less 6K. It isn’t even as good as the LG much less the XDR. Odd comparison. 

This 4k/5k/6k shit is very misleading.

a 27" 4k monitor has a lower, sub-retina grade DPI than a 27" 5k monitor.

The Apple 6k monitor has the same DPI as a 27" 5k; the additional "K" comes from a wider screen. The resolution or "retina effect" is identical to the LG Ultrafine and the iMac Retina.

I really wish the whole industry would drop "4k" as a talking point.

Agreed very much so, PPI should be the standard, but then again TV buyers wouldn't care. Also phones going up to 4k comes in as a joke considering the iPhones screen is every bit just as good, as you couldn't tell a difference.

The fact of this comparison though is the dell will have a ppi of roughly 163 and Apple 218 for their high end monitors.
