Maybe switch to poop-brown bubbles. 

Any company wanting to do business in any country has to deal with the laws and procedures in that country. Don’t like them? Try to change them or leave.

The way I'm reading it is that there is no 27" iMac in the pipeline because they're busy working on a 32-35" iMac!

Maybe, but I doubt they are going to specifically refute every possible iMac size. I interpret this to mean that there are currently no plans for any iMac other than the 24". That doesn't mean they will NEVER consider another more 'pro' iMac, but it sounds to me like they are saying people shouldn't hold their breath because there's nothing around the corner, and no plans around the corner either.

From my perspective, it's theoretically fine if Apple wants 'pro' or 'pro-ish' desktop users to go the route of Mac mini / studio / pro plus a monitor. The problem with the implementation of that theory is that the Studio Display turned out to be a worse display, from a price/performance standpoint, than my 2020 27" iMac. I think to make the modular desktop Mac approach work, we need better display options. I'd like to see a 27" 5k Studio Display that has a camera at least as good as the one in my 27" iMac and priced at $1200. For $1600, I'd like a 32" 6k Studio Display with the same camera. I'm not in the target audience for users of the Pro Display XDR, so I won't comment on what that lineup ought to look like (although I imagine that there should be an 8k entry in that lineup).

But I'm not holding my breath -- I suspect that when it comes time for me to replace my 27" iMac, I'll buy either a Mac mini or a Mac Studio and then get a Dell monitor. I'll cringe a little every time I look at that Dell logo, but I just can't see paying Apple a premium for a monitor that is no better, and arguably worse, than the display+camera in my 27" iMac. (and yes -- it is a bummer that there's no target display mode)

Maybe they should do an Apple plane. Air travel, at least in the US, is universally despised. 

Geekbench 6 provides a perspective on multi core performance that is relevant to many users, but not all. The geekbench 5 multi scores showed how a CPU performs ion “embarrassingly parallel” tasks. Geekbench 6 is more focused on tasks that use multiple CPUs to solve the same problem. Aa a result, GB6 is more affected by Amdahl’s law.
