I bought one a couple of years ago and really like it. When we moved my office down to my basement, knowing my wife wanted a standing desk, we left my first one upstairs and ordered a new one for my new office which is 12 inches longer than the first one.

Yikes that price is crazy. Just get an industry-leading Uplift v2 standing desk, add some bells & whistles, and call it a day. I have two and they're great.

The periscope camera is going to be an even bigger bump? I thought one of the advantages was a thinner camera while still getting more optical zoom?

Brace yourselves for the predictable-like-clockwork complaints of "incrementalism" from the folks who think each annual update should be like the introduction of an entirely new product line. The ho-hums and harumphs and lamentations about how Tim Cook is no Steve Jobs will start during the presentation on the 12th and will continue for at least a week or two… 

This is how Apple keeps a happy customer base, and is the exact reason that each annual update should absolutely be about "incrementalism."

Lovely bit of personal philosophy that has no basis in how the iPhone business actually works or what it takes to meet Wall Street demands (Apple IS a public company, after all) for iPhone sales. The idea that sales would hit benchmarks if Apple "maybe" converted 3-4 year old iPhones to new models, but more probably a 4-5 year cycle is just laughable. Why do you think they launched the iPhone Upgrade Program that allows participants in it to upgrade their phones every year? Apple needs to get buyers who don't "need" a new iPhone to want and buy a new iPhone nonetheless. And under your fairy tale, there should never be a massive redesign, like the iPhone X, since that would anger those who had bought new phones a year or two or three prior…There should at least be one marquee new feature each year, something to get truly excited about and, I'm sorry, but a USB-C port just doesn't cut it.”  

I might be wrong, but I get the impression that applezulu may not have meant it the way you read it. I think perhaps he just meant that the phone doesn’t need a complete external redesign every year in order to make people excited for the product to release. For example going from the 12 to the 13, there was so little external change that you could continue to use the case you got for your 12 with it. What most of the people I read or listen to said was along the lines of “if you have a 12, there’s really not much to differentiate from the 13 and not worth the upgrade. However, if you have even a 10 or earlier, you’ll see and feel a fairly substantial difference”. As a result, I waited and got the 14 pro max (I’m all about camera improvements), handing my 12 to my daughter who had been using my X since she started middle school. She’s also a really good photographer for her age. 

Regarding marquee features, there appears to be more to the usb c port in relation to the pro max at least. On the pro max (and may the pro), we’ll be getting usb 4 speeds. Also, hey periscope camera for more optical zoom. Those sound like marquee features to me.

This leaves WWDC2024 as the last Intel supported OS and WWDC 2025 will be the starting of Apple Silicon Only OS. I supposed knowing that, it will be a big release. Leaving out legacy Intel code like  Kexts, etc.
