...well I bought a MBP and ironically the only displays it could not work with were legacy Apple ones, go figure... So I waited, and waited, and now... Hmmm...
I have to ask if Apple had simply upgraded the 27" Cinema to 4K Thunderbolt with USB3 and a 5K/8K option perhaps even larger with TB3, such might have been both cost and zeitgeist competitive... Maybe soon, or has Apple abandoned the 'monitor' entirely in favour of AR and a virtual display future...?
Apple should make a brand new Thunderbolt 3 (40 Gbps) display 24-inch with USB 3.1 Type-C (reversible) Generation 2 (10 Gbps). Besides brand new Mac Pro and Mac mini. The All-in-One iMac is a waste and Earth aggression computers may last seven years, but displays last more than 20.
