This whole product line feels like a setup for Apple to close the chapter on a desktop for professionals; "we made the best computer and display possible and nobody bought - there is no market so we are exiting"

Well if that doesn’t scream failed design... Funny that it coincides with 10 years of ‘ZERO’ from ifixit.

We'll see if it still has the keyboard/battery/ top case melded together design like the previous generations but in the EU it starts at 2,699€ and quickly blasts past 3,000€.

PS: what the heck are ' force-cancelling woofers'?

Marketing lingo for “we decided to use six 4 cent greeting card quality speakers to accommodate the design and needed to make this deficiency sound cool”. 

In other words - the sound will be garbage as they couldn’t put in a decent sized speaker cone physically capable of producing sound waves - so jammed in 6 small deficient ones and using harmonic algorithms to give the impression of full sound through volume. 

In in other words, it will sound like a louder iPhone.

An Apple headset would be an incredible platform success.  MacOS would instantly become the gaming platform of choice, which would be a huge blow to Windows.  All those $$$ spent on high end gamer gear would be funneled to Apple...

Sounds a lot like those comments how audiophiles were going to toss their $50,000 systems for the HomePod... 

The last 6 years have been the worst ad's in in Apple's history - outside of the "Welcome Home" standout.
