The hysteria over a handful of updates for a product that people don't even own is hilarious. 

Who is being hysterical? Do you disagree that the prior Cinema Displays I referred to did indeed ship, work perfectly from day one and not require updates to perform their function?

The Studio Display has had numerous issues, from the webcam to the speakers, problems with some not turning on or randomly rebooting, etc. That's what happens when you take something simple, like a display, and make it all unnecessarily complicated.

Of course you presumably disagree with me on this and therefore think I am being hysterical, whereas in reality I am simply pointing out the absurdity of the situation.

I wish Apple could go back to the good old days where a monitor was just a monitor and everything just worked.

I’ve got a 30” Cinema Display, apart from occasionally having to buy a new adaptor for whatever the latest port is it’s never missed a beat and is still gorgeous to look at to this day. No hassles with firmware, or software updates. No worrying about whether any of said updates would improve image quality, it was tested and perfect when it left the factory and still is.

Same with my 24” LED Cinema Display. It has a webcam and speakers and doesn’t need all these constant updates.

Why does a display have to cost hundreds more just because Apple wants to shove an iPhone in there too. Crazy.

It’s interesting to me that Apple does not bother supporting their Pro iPads with their own Pro software. 

They should have been first in line supporting their own product, very sloppy.

Whenever I read comments like this I think, “well, this person doesn’t used Final Cut or Logic.”  

And yet other notable software companies have delivered their own software to the platform.

You’re right, I don’t use Final Cut or Logic. As it happens I don’t have an iPad Pro either, I much prefer a “real” computer and won’t be in a rush to leave the Mac line.

“Apple Music Classical app by the end of 2023”, a good job it’s only the end of 2022 then.

I’m guessing he just isn’t my style, not a name I’ve ever heard.
