Oh Apple. Just include the stand in the price. Seriously.

They're going to come up with a (more expensive) option to give the consumer choice. We're now entering Lamborghini hypercar bragging rights territory.

why? their machines are now fashion products/statement for (rich) people that socialize via socal media videos. (most people here will disagree while not being that demographic. they will also not have a reason to buy a $50k youtube poser machine)

your argument is like saying a shoes manufaturer should just include the purse.

it should instead offer more expensive stand options! because people will buy those. I mean, the people that is already buying 6k dispays (I.e. spending that much money and not even being technical enough to buy products based on actual resolution, but marketing "Nk" where N>4)

Nope...the argument is more like the shoe manufacture should just include the shoelaces. Shoelaces support the functional operation of the shoe...a purse does not support the operation of shoes. Most people would expect their shoes to come with shoelaces, not a purse.

Yes, exactly. This isn’t an example of complimentary goods like peanut butter is to jelly or bread. This is constituent parts or rather posed as a question: “What is a monitor without a stand?”
