Don't like the conditions and your employer isn't breaking the law? Have conviction and quit. Walking off the job is a very different thing than a protest. By all means protest. Walk off the job? See you at the unemployment office.

Disagree pretty much entirely.  Be the change you want to see in the world, don't just turn your back on it.

You have to realise what company they are fighting. Most people here are "apple can do no wrong" types.  I am supporting the workers 100 percent. Just as I support the Amazon workers taking a stand.  Terrible working conditions are terrible working conditions no matter what company it is.  Most people here think apple's farts smell like roses and baby powder. They are a megacorporation who do not care about anything other than the almighty dollar. End of story.

Yeah, I’ve jumped from forum to forum and it’s always the same. Apple Cult is a real thing.

Really…27”? 

This is just a replacement of the 27" Intel iMac. They've had those for over a decade.

I think the point is that with the screen size unchanged, it is now pretty close to the lower end 24" which increased from 21.5".  I myself had hoped that it would have been bumped up to 30".

The 21.5" was just grossly undersized and long overdue to be upped to 24" (the minimum size for monitors for the past 5 years). This also better aligns with the 24/27" LG Ultrafine monitors that Apple themselves have sold for the past 5 years. I can see as an opportunity for a 32" iMac (Pro) being offered in the future though.

Glad it never happened. Seeing what's available on AppleTV+ makes me shudder to think what would have happened to the entire MCU that Disney was able to build. The MCU is thee cinematic experience that my family has thoroughly enjoyed for over a decade. Something my children and I have grown up to appreciate together since they were born. We were actually saddened at the end of Avengers End Game as we thought it was over. Then the latest Spider-Man came out and we were all beyond hyped to keep it going.

No Apple product has brought us together like that.

I eagerly await Apple to return to making a display that includes a camera and speakers. The LG UltraFine 5K screen that Apple no longer sell was an absolute disaster - after buying it I quickly remembered why I swore away from pricy 3rd party displays. This screen was reputation damaging:

• It would receive interference from nearby wifi devices, which would crash the system
• It was slow to wake, or often didn't wake at all - sometimes waking with subtle visual distortions, or again crashing the system
• It has a sub-par viewing angle and excessive light bleed from the edges
• It was freaking expensive for being a dud product and LG made it near-impossible to return it

You can play this game with just about any 3rd party device, cost is irrelevant. Want a good wifi router that plays along with hand-off and homekit? The best device is still the old Apple Airport Extreme from 2013. Want a Network attached storage that won't silently corrupt your Time Machine backup? That's the 2013 Time Capsule. etc. etc.

I have two LG 5K displays and know exactly what you mean in regards to the first two points. First was a factory shielding defect. Was able to ship the monitors back to LG to get fixed and haven't had that issue since. The second issue was 100% and Apple MacOS issue (haven't had that since Mojave), and I've been using both on my current M1Max MBP and they're performing superbly.

Third point was specific to individual monitors. One of mine had excessive light bleed, and even worse, really bad image retention that bothers me to no end. Enough so that I'm no longer buying LG monitors. Second monitor was perfect from the start. Not sure how pervasive the light bleed and retention issues were/are, but that's something that took a year to appear and LG support wouldn't do anything for me. If my first monitor didn't have the light bleed and image retention (essentially if I'd just gotten two of the same batch as my second monitor) I'd be a life long LG display fan. But I got a dud and support told me to get lost so they lost me forever and I let everyone know to avoid them.

But to your point, the LG 5K is THEE BEST monitor for Macs, bar none. Even the XDR doesn't include a camera or speakers! Issue is they don't support their own products so here I sit waiting for an Apple monitor instead.
