What about fast user switching which was destroyed by Catalina?

« During the betas, Apple introduced a few changes to fix issues that arrived in iOS 13.2, including one which killed background app processes. The issue effectively made some users lose work or progress in the apps when they navigated away from apps, making multitasking difficult. »

This issue has existed since iOS 7’s release and it still exists under iOS 13.3 - it was just dialed back from how aggressively it did so under iOS 13.2. 

I expect everyone will continue to pretend there’s no problem, despite fast app switching to still be nearly unusable.

Don’t ever finance anything — even at zero percent — other than real estate or education. If you don’t have the money in the bank, you can’t afford it. Financing will only dig a deeper hole. Merry Christmas

The last line ad hominem wasn't needed and undermines the rest of the article.

If that last line describes you then too bad. That last line perfectly describes the crowd that lives here in the AppleInsider forums. That crowd needs to be called out on a regular basis and Dilger is more than capable of doing that. That his editorials trigger these types into rage is proof of their veracity.

Actually, it’s the bitter and defensive Apple bootlickers here like yourself who make the most noise here on THIS forum. Every article is followed by some kind of libertarian and/or pro-Apple defensiveness and hostility toward anyone who dares trying to be objectively critical of Apple. Even DED acknowledged that Apple should not be free of criticism.

The stand is a nice bit of engineering but in no way is worth $1000. In the end it is a monitor stand.

Comparing a handful of machined aluminum parts to a complex pro grade, multi-element lens is also a bit of a stretch. For a while I worked as a Pro photographer (pre-digital) and understand what is involved in high quality lenses.

Now, if you are someone who can write off the stand on your taxes it probably is just something you will complain about and then buy. However, there is a significant market for people who want a high quality display but have no desire to be robbed of $1000 just because it was "designed by Apple in California".

This fashion mentality where $20 Levi 501s made in America become designer "jeans" that cost hundreds of Dollars has infected Apple. Charging high prices just because you can evokes the kind of rapacious pricing of medical equipment where a simple lamp is intentionally put on a proprietary mount and priced 10-100x more than a similar lamp with a standard mount. It may be legal but it is not good business.

I am planning on ordering a Mac Pro when it becomes available but will not be buying the display. I simply have better uses for the money.
