That, and they probably also need whoever is staying to get stuff out the door. I mean taking teams from one department to another to get something done sounds like they could use a lot more people, or better management. Meanwhile other products suffer again.

Still no Spotify integration, still the same or similar lack of Siri features. Unless Apple is going to go hard on these, this one is just as dead as the original one. I have the original one, and no Apple Music. It's a great speaker I guess. For a little bit more money you can get way better ones, that work with almost everything.

Best to not launch the Mac Pro until it’s good and ready to destroy everything else. 

If it’s just a Mac Studio class performer in a different box, then wait until the m3 extreme, desktop specific D1, or whatever is ready. 

Don’t launch it after all this time an anticipation and have it become a meme. That’s just wrong. 

Apple can't change physics and economics, so it's not going to destroy everything else. There is no way Apple can release a GPU like Nvidia's top models or have a CPU that beats the top intel/amd CPU. Apple Silicon is really nice, but it's not pixie dust.

No matter how good these displays look under ideal conditions at a trade show, I wouldn’t get them. I don’t trust Samsung. 

Do they just not test them with Apple hardware?

I've got a couple of different types in the studio and they usually work fine. Non-Apple displays have a tendency to act up or give random behaviour, whether it's Dell, Samsung or any other brand. I don't know what Apple is doing (or probably not doing), and it varies per MacOS version. Apple is probably not bothering with supporting differences/variations in the communication protocols. This has always been the case. YMMV.

It's an important update in China it seems, limiting airdrop functionality to prevent spread of anti-government material.
