So... correct me if I'm wrong, but this DP3 color space they're using isn't increasing the bit-ness of the color, it's still 8 bit color, they're just using a different color space to get a wider range of color with less precision? Seems sort of silly to me as most designers will be on sRGB displays and most people will be used to how images look in the sRGB space, but I guess it's one more way for Apple to sell more new Apple stuff by pretending these extremes in color are more important than precision in other parts of the spectrum. I can definitely understand going to 10-bit color, this, not so much.

They're not mutually exclusive. Right now basically every single display is 8bpp even if Apple went to 16bpp displays when using normal applications most people wouldn't see anything special because the source data is all still based on eight bits per pixel. By improving the color gamut you can actually see a difference on the display. Areas where there were differences and color before but it was invisible because of the display now showing actual difference. It's slight, but it's there. Seems like a good move to me. I imagine moving to 10 or 12 bit color will be the next step.
