This is outrageous! The whole point of using applications like Dropbox is to offload files that bloat the internal SSD. This will definitely be a dealbreaker for any upgrades to macOS. I’m glad I read about this - I’ll be sending Apple a huge complaint.

“Wish I could simply plug a Mac mini into my iMac display.”

I believe this to be deliberate. If Target Displays Mode still existed, the reason and need for the Studio Display would be greatly diminished. I believe many iMac 5K users would see the Mac Mini M2 Pro as a great alternative to buying a new Apple display.

Great to see them again, but it should have been priced at $250…sorry, $249. $300 is a big number considering the array of competing samples on the market.

I’m thinking that Apple might just jump over M2 Pro/Max and go right for M3 w/ 3nm process. There’s been enough rumors that M2 didn’t cut it for the Mac Pro, so maybe they’ll release M3 Pro/Max/Ultra/Extreme this year instead. That’ll be a big leap over the M1 initial releases dropping AMD and Intel back to the drawing boards.

Right on, competition is good. 

The Studio Display was a disappointment - to me, not because of the webcam and such, but because it wasn’t a “Liquid Retina…” micro-LED screen. Even at its 5K it would have beaten the XDR Pro Display with its finer luminance resolution. To me $1500 was a travesty to charge that much for a display based on the 5 year old iMac Pro/regular AIO systems screens.

The next XDR Pro needs to be at least 8K to support the next generation of cinema production, so $5K for that would be logical. Then offer a 30” Liquid Retina with micro-LED for the “lesser” professionals. I’d personally love to see a 6K2.5K widescreen mini-LED display (similar to LG’s 5K2K display I own) for AE/PremierePro video/cinema production.
