I also wish Apple would surprise us and do something really unusual - bring back Target display mode to the 5K Intel iMacs with support for camera, microphone and speakers - then you should see a rocket increase of sales of the new Mac mini and Mac Studio and probably portable Macs too! Because to offer a new Apple display that in some cases is more expensive than a Mac is madness but by adding support for Target display mode to Intel 5K iMacs a lot of people could afford to move on to M-series Macs. And as a bonus it would be a ”green” initiative from Apple to be able to still use the old iMacs as displays.

I think a lot of us waited for a 27” version but Apple seems to do less and less what people want and more and more what Apple want. Sad development and an equation that won’t turn out well in some years if it continues.

Apple sadly seems to become a company far from the company it was when Steve Jobs lived...

I used to praise Safari but that is getting harder and harder since on many sites it’s functionality fails.

What is happening at Apple, there are so many strange things coming out of there in recent years. So no 27 inch iMac right now but an expensive Studio Display. There is an iPad with Touch id on the power button but not on iPhones, there is a more adjustable stand on the new Studio Display but not on the new iMac 24 inch. There is an Ethernet option on the new iMac but not on the new Studio Display (so that if you connect a Macbook to it  you would only need one cable for power, bigger display and ethernet connection). There is a SD-card slot on the new Mac Studio but not on the new iMac. The list goes on and on. Are the different teams so separated from each other that it is hard to follow some consistency? Also, how can they make a Studio display that is more expensive than the starter iMac 24 inch (the extra inches can´t be it)?
