I have a question.
Is the $999 stand a media deflection strategy for a rather mundane WWDC or something else? https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/06/highlights-from-wwdc-...

Project Catalyst allows you to build Mac apps from your iOS code base with a checkbox and some minimal code. SwiftUI is a true game changer for app developers bringing Flutter style development. iPad OS with long overdue features like desktop Safari with download manager, USB drive support, 9ms pencil latency. iOS with Dark Mode, 2x app launch time, clever use of ML in Photos. Sign in with Apple is an extremely clever way to combat privacy. Apple Maps looked really strong.
I could keep going but mundane is not the way I would describe it.
It’s disappointing that HN continues to complain, often without basis. It’s a ritual. A positive comment has to, has to be combated with an opposing view even if it isn’t justified.
This Mac Pro is amazing in my view. Design, aesthetics, features, thermal design, engineering, EVERYTHING.
But, fuck Apple. The monitor didn’t have a 120hz refresh rate. I’m disappointed. Everyone is doing it, even Asus. How can Apple ignore our needs! For $5000!!!? Are you kidding me?
Sigh.

As someone who didn't watch the event and doesn't pay much attention to the Apple bubble, I can only hope you didn't mean to say what you said there.
All you hear about is outrage about the stand of a pro-monitor outside the budget range of even the most enthousiast consumer. That's how you know it was a good WWDC.
