It’s common sense in the Apple world that all their products have an 8 year support life to them. Then they become “legacy” products. I can’t recall if that was the term they use, but there is a very specific term that use for products past the 8 year mark. They don’t use the word “obsolete” or any of that crap.

Does this new dimmer switch fit into a regular US decora wall plate? That has been my main problem with the old one.

is it just me or are displays not getting ridiculously large? There's really a lot of use for the smaller sizes we were used to. And there's not much point for sizes larger than the already humungous 31.5".

It’s not just you. Even though I much prefer a big display for my photography work that pays me, I have a Mac Mini that does nothing but host my iTunes library. I run it headless now since a nice, modestly proportioned display isn’t easily available. I’d love a small monitor with a fit & finish I’m willing to look at in the living area of my home. 

Hopefully this is the display on the next iMac. I have an Eizo at this size on my desk and it is great for my photography & design work. 

I’m holding out for the Peak Design Mobile, which I learned about right here on AI. Kickstarter is shipping next spring, but I probably won’t have anywhere to go until I get my COVID vaccination anyway.
