I'm fine with bezels on my computer.  I don't really care how big they are.  They can be huge, tiny, or nonexistent.

But that stupid notch has to go.  It's a no-brainer to give up screen real estate to get rid of it, because screen with a notch in the middle of it is useless anyway.  It was an incredibly stupid move by Apple.

I'd rather give up the camera entirely.  Most users tape over it anyway, so it's not like anybody is actually giving up anything of value.  If you need a camera, there are plenty of external cameras on the market.

I'd like to see Apple acquire Pandora because I've always enjoyed Pandora's discovery/music-genealogy based model. As much as I hate to say it, Siri on HomePod is rather pathetic. Rather than trying to make Siri on HomePod functionally equivalent to Alexa on Echo, Apple should create a Siri-like persona for HomePod (with a new name) that is a music savant powered by the discovery logic that Pandora possesses. I'd like to be able to say "Hey Tunes, I really liked that last track, can you find me more music like that."

These features already exist:

In Music:

Via Siri:

Both from Apple’s documentation. But sure, they need to buy Pandora. 🙄

I just wish they'd bring Genius back.

The Mac Studio is an excellent value -v- performance deal…not so the Display. It’s stupid overpriced! Stupid. Way.

if it had been $990 with adjustable/removable stand, it would have been just barely acceptable - especially with the terrible reviews of its cam and software integration.

if the Pro model comes out as expected, it’ll be $3000 w/o adjustable stand. Again, Stupid overpriced.

but this does all beg the question: with this designation, will we be getting an Apple Studio Pro, instead of a Mac Pro? Hmmmm…🤔

Both also use an LED backlighting system rather than mini LED but still offer HDR capabilities.
