The new Mac Pro is a powerful computer for "creative professionals" and priced starting at $6,000. No one in that room was expecting a budget-friendly presentation: the Mac Pro is all about spending more to get more, but even in that context, there were audible gasps of shock from the audience when Apple announced a $999 stand for its $5,000 monitor. > $5,000 is a lot of money for a monitor. But if we expect anything from Apple, it's that it will make an overengineered, incredibly powerful piece of tech and charge a lot of money for it. The Pro Display XDR follows this model: amazing specs, brag-worthy details, and a huge price. This is the deal we make with Apple. But $999 for a monitor stand?
