27-inch is only three inches larger than 24-inch. 30-inch will be better suited for a "Pro" model. 

I don’t think it’s going to be 27 inches. That’s not a big monitor size anymore. It’s like he buying a 32 inch or 42 inch hdtv today. Sure it’s adequate. But not impressive at all and certainly not at the forefront of what a modern tv should be. 

30” would be the minimum in 2022. I’m thinking Apple will go big and make it 32”. The challenge with getting some really big monitor size is the aspect ratio creates a giant block of screen. This can cause issues with neck ergonomics as well as figment in a work area. Easy solutions though. Lower where the screen sits on the stand or go ultrawide, which would be insanely cool. But do ultrawide in such a way as to stay 5k or more vertical and add the pixels as needed horizontally. Most ultrawide are a mess. But it’s s great concept. Apple could usher in sn era of high quality ultrawide glory as part of a high performance iMac with hopefully higher cpu and GPU core counts. 

M1 Max with 64GB and a monster screen? Yes please. All day. 

A replacement for 27 inch? Yes. But not equal in dimension. 

Also, the iMac went 5k SIX years ago. 

Time to move up.

Personally I’ve always felt that Apple should offer at least two years warranty on all of their products.

For such an expensive purchase it’s crazy that they only back it with one year warranty.

If you buy a £300 laptop you kind of accept that it’s a piece of shit and likely won’t last long.

But when you drop £2900 on a 16” MacBook Pro and it dies 14 months later due to a well known thermal issue when plugged into an external monitor that one year warranty is a joke.

Initially Apple tried to get me to pay for the repair, luckily we have good consumer rights protections in the U.K. so I refused and they fixed it free of charge, but still, 1 year warranty just takes the piss at Apple’s price point.

I’m sure others will say that I should have also bought Apple Care and then the 1 year warranty is not an issue, but why should I have to spend an additional £400. For what they charge they should have confidence in their product and warranty it accordingly.

Apple reportedly patched the file:// but failed to block other iterations of the prefix like File:// or fIle://, meaning would-be attackers can easily bypass the built-in safeguards. The tech giant also failed to assign the bug a CVE designation, according to Minchan.
