…there have been a few posts and news articles of the past few days about this – 'have Apple lost the plot', 'they are taking the piss (more eloquently put) out of the consumer, on the back of their 'success' of charging $1000+ for iPhones', etc.
They know some idiots will pay for it, they also know I guess (like you say) most people are not in the market for this at all (so economy of scale?) – I do though wish they'd do a replacement for the Thunderbolt display I've got (that was dear enough for was it is)…
he's wanted to leave for some years now. i think he wants to be home and have his children in school in england. i mean, if you had the choice (and were fabulously wealthy) would you rather live in silicon valley or europe?
"Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that after the Apple Watch launched in 2015, Ive had already started relinquishing his responsibilities because of the strain it was putting on him personally.
Around the time, Ive told the New Yorker he'd become "deeply, deeply tired," and said the year leading up to the Apple Watch debut was "the most difficult" since he joined Apple.
To extend his time at the company, Apple subsequently agreed to change his official role to Chief Design Officer, which allowed day-to-day responsibility of the hardware and software design teams to shift to executives Alan Dye and Richard Howarth.
From then onward, Ive began coming to Apple headquarters "as little as twice a week," and many meetings with his design team reportedly took place in San Francisco so Ive could avoid the long commute from his home in the Pacific Heights district to Apple's HQ in Cupertino, California.
Ive sometimes even met with his team at the homes of his employees, at hotels, or other venues, according to people familiar with the matter, while the design executive did much of his work at a San Francisco office and studio, which has now become the base of his new LoveFrom business.
Ive also frequently travelled to London, near to where he was raised, according to Bloomberg's Gurman. "

Apple unveils powerful, all-new Mac Pro and groundbreaking Pro Display XDR
https://www.apple.com/uk/newsroom/2019/06/apple-unveils-powerful-all-new-mac-pro-and-groundbreaking-pro-display-xdr/imagine how much cheese that thing could grate!
Have you seen the price of the display!
~weeps
seeing the specs on that thing - i will never be a pro.
still loving my 2013 15" MBP!
$1K for a fucking monitor stand. A FUCKING MONITOR STAND!?!?!?! what a bunch of morons.
i don't think it's a big deal. those displays are for people who spend $40k on displays - and they usually bolt them to the wall.
i love apple, but i have zero need for a 6k display - and i think most people are the same. they are seriously made for pro's.
when compared to competitor displays, the apple version is cheap.
Ha! Dito, on both points…

iPhone designer Jony Ive to leave Apple
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-48795057I saw that too. Noticed they said Apple will be his first client, so he's going nowhere immediately?!
hehe of course, he's just contracting for apple now.
he's wanted to leave for some years now. i think he wants to be home and have his children in school in england. i mean, if you had the choice (and were fabulously wealthy) would you rather live in silicon valley or europe?
