Why, oh why did Apple leave the display market? The XDR doesn’t count as it is a purely professional reference monitor priced accordingly. If Apple can make a car why can’t they make a consumer level 5K display? I would much rather have a well designed display with the Apple logo on it than a Dell, no matter attractive it is. An Apple 5K display priced in the range of a tricked out Mini would take off... in my useless personal opinion.

I agree & we can say they same thing about the router market.

If Apple had added Siri into the Airport Express and then Airport Express capability into the HomePod, they would have kept a good chunk of the router and smart speaker market and as the Airport Express and Extreme have become obsolete it's really hard finding a simple easy to set up router solution, which picks up all the apple devices automagically and extends the network range easily.

Dell do make a good monitor though. I've bought Dell monitors for 25 years, they're alway rock solid, highly adjustable, accurate and sometimes attractive :-)
I recently needed to replace a pair to Dell 27" which I used with my old 2013 MBP when I upgraded to MBP 2019. I bought the 34" LG 5K2K monitor about 9 months ago. I really like the LG, but I would have waited for Dell if I knew they were going to bring out a curved 40" version.

I've never been able to justify buying an Apple monitor in all my time with Macs :-( so I hear you. It would be the first choice for most of us if there is a similarly priced or even a bit more than the rest of the market.

That too is my useless personal opinion

As per usual I read the proxy, then vote against continuing with the same Auditors. I think new auditors should be in regularly to prevent them becoming too comfortable with the management of a company and to take a fresh look to see if there's anything dodgy. I do this with all companies, not just Apple. I think it's healthy for new auditors to come in every few years.

Can you send him down to Oz, because the Politician's here want to weaken the entire internet security model, apparently they think they can legislate the laws of Mathematics

The issues have led to immigration minister Carloine Nokes expressing frustration at the matter on Tuesday to the Home Affairs Committee. Minsters were advised by Nokes the Home Office could not be blamed for the issue, as Apple "won't release the upgrade we need in order for it to function."

So let me get this right: They designed an app, knowing that when they designed it, it would not work on Apple devices. However, the Home Office isn't to Blame because they couldn't force Apple to do what they wanted? Do I have this right?

Yes, you got it exactly right. It is commonly referred to a 'bungling incompetence'.

Wow just what I need for my desktop, an iPad as a really expensive second keyboard. What I need is official Apple system level support for the iPad as a pressure sensitive graphics tablet. I don't want to pay $70 a year for Astropad.

I agree with Emoeller. I've used DuetDisplay for a couple of years to allow me to have a second screen when working away from my office.
