Compared: Apple Studio Display vs. 2011 Thunderbolt Display
Why would you need to daisychain anything? As you know, a Mac Studio can take up to four displays. So what real world use does lack of a daisychain feature include? What am I missing?entropys said:It is clear the Thunderbolt Display was quite good value for money back in the day, unlike the Apple Studio Display, although loved how now this comparison skipped the price comparison.
In my unasked for categorisation of Apple products, the Apple Studio Display is slotted into the same group as the trash can Mac Pro, the butterfly keyboard single port rMB, the 2016 MBPs, the HomePod, and the Airpods Max as the last decades’ grossly overpriced and function compromised misses.
PS: and one other thing. And it isn’t a small thing. When the Thunderbolt Display came out, daisy chaining a pair with a single Thunderbolt cable was really cool. Nowadays it is easy to do on windows with any computer using displays with MST support. Apple does not support MST, insisting thunderbolt is the only way to do this (you have to do a second cable to your computer if you want to add a second, non Thunderbolt display). Very, very annoying on a laptop, and if Apple isn’t prepared to provide a reasonably priced Thunderbolt Display, then it should enable MST support so we can do it over DisplayPort.

Received my Studio Display a few days ago. Beautiful display. No nano-texture glass required. Love the sound output.
My Mac Studio isn’t scheduled to arrive until next week. So my son gets to use the Studio Display with his M1 MacBook Air for a week or so. It was plug and play. He’s going to hate it when my M1 Max Mac Studio arrives.

Apple TV+ paying $100 million for Chris Evans & Scarlett Johansson 'Project Artemis'
Yes. But only if William and Stephen get cameo roles in the movie and we get free plastic soft drink mugs with William and Stephen on each side of Ted Lasso. 👍🏻😆lmasanti said:I would like to see a title like… “Apple paid $500 millions to secure production of the film ‘The Tragedy of Ted Lasso’ written by William Gallager and directed by Stephen Robles”! -
Apple working on first-party financial services under codename 'Breakout'
I imagine the initial AppleBank™ rollout could feature blockchain based AppleCoin™ operating at near break even margins to support fast banking services growth. Imagine getting reasonable interest rates and no nickel and diming customers with hidden fees. Imagine an open and honest bank. It would be revolutionary.
It would also be damn near impossible because doing so would create a long list of business and Government enemies for Apple. Any moves in this direction will have to be turtle slow. But one can dream.
