Apple really should have gone back to the cheese grater design which was more elegant than this Ive designed piece of technology. Wheels are a great idea! The monitor is way overpriced. The pro stand's price is insane as well.I feel there is going to be problems with that stand because of that connection. It resembles the old flower pod designed iMac from years ago. The monitor arm on that model had some issues. I do not trust the design of that "pro" stand. I think the computer may sell well despite it is a bit over priced  but the monitor is really overpriced. I bought a 43" LG 4K monitor for $600 and it is absolutely beautiful. The Sony monitor Apple used as a price justification for the new display had an incorrect price of $43,000. It goes for $28,000. That is a broadcast quality monitor with many functions. Apple lied as always. I am greatly disappointed with the quality and prices of their products. I wasted 2 hours of my time watching the WWDC. Apple really is out of touch with it's customers.

I do not understand complicating things with adding a A10 chip in the iMac Pro.The Xeon chips in the machine does not need any help from an iOS chip. One example of Apple incorporating iOS apps with Mac OS applications is Siri. Hey Siri does not work very well and I feel is a complete failure as a voice recognition program. It does not understand anything I ask of it. Apple is constantly pushing things on it's customer which does not work. I am glad I have decided to go back to PC's cause Apple is very hard headed about incorporating iOS device with MacOS for some sort of compatibility dream. Apple has made the Mac computer line into a huge joke. No real vision in trying to keep the Mac viable. Why not just stop making the computer. Apple has it's concentration on the mobile devices. Just stay with that. Apple is not into the Macs anymore despite what Tim says. Tim Cook is lying when says the Mac is still very important to Apple. There are no real choices for it's computer line...Macbook, MacBook Pro & iMac are the only Mac's Apple has been updating regularly. The MacBook Air, Mac mini and Mac Pro looks like the dark horses of the Apple computer line up. No real updates in several years. I do not want to waste any money buying another Apple computer because of the way Tim is destroying the Mac line up because of his lack of vision.

I am glad I did not buy this "quality" product from Apple. There is always a bug or problem with anything new from Apple. For the amount of money customers pay for this "phone" it should work with no problems. This proves that Apple's quality control is non existent. Tim is this what you mean that the iPhone's cost was "value priced for the technology it provides"? Apple should make sure the phone part works, instead of AR or the great camera, which makes this product nothing more than an expensive broken toy. This is a great disappointment.

Apple is really an unpredictable company. They introduce Touch ID with the iPhone line up and incorporate it with Apple Pay. Apple then introduces it with the Macbook Pro line up. Now they are going to eliminate it like the headphone jack was summarily eliminated in iPhone 7. Apple appears to have no apparent vision on what technology they want to use in their products. Why should anybody buy an Apple product? They have no consideration on how these changes will effect their customers. Apple keeps making lame excuses (such as room for the battery and/or waterproofing in the iPhone 7), always raising prices on these products. The customers have to absorb the cost of Apple's tech changes with things like dongles and bluetooth headphones. Apple claims they are future minded. Not so! They just do not have the midas touch anymore. I am really disappointed with Apple lack of innovation. They are just money hungry. This iPhone 8 will probably sell like hotcakes because of the following Apple seems to have.  Apple is the piped piper and the customer are the rats. Sorry, that is how I see it.

How do you know Apple is eliminating Touch ID? The next iPhone hasn't even been released yet. As for the headphone jack being eliminated, Apple did provide a headphone jack adapter so your point is moot. How is making room for the battery a lame excuse? If you are using a larger battery like Apple is doing, you need more sy the pace. Apple raises prices of phones just like all the other manufacturers do. The Samsung Galaxy S8 is more expensive than the S7 for example.

Yes Apple did provide a headphone jack adapter but you can not charge and play your music at the same time. My point is not moot. And as for the battery being larger, Apple never made the battery larger. The phones were never in the $700 to $800 range until Apple got into the smartphone market. So all the other manufacturers followed Apple's lead. My complaint wasn't just about the price but how Apple just makes changes to their products without concern of the effect it has on the customer's budget. I have an iPhone 6 which is the worst phone I have ever purchased. The screen has a sensitivity issue which Apple has not fixed or even acknowledged. Constantly having reception problems and I am with Verizon. When I call Apple about the iPhone issues all they did was reset the phone which did not fix a thing. So why constantly change the technology of the phone without correcting the current problems of screen sensitivity and reception. Money is the answer.
