I'm rarely ever the one to give Apple any credit for doing the right thing. In this case though I can imagine that it was a good technical decision. Being still more of a business machine than gaming a 4k 60Hz seems reasonable for now. If necessary Thunderbolt/USB-C ports can be used. What it means though is that the bandwidth/power usage of the HDMI port is better bounded.

- karmakaze 5y agoI didn't realize that all the stated resolution/refresh rates weren't achievable using RGB data mode. Also worth noting that last I checked macOS defaults to YPbPr on non-Apple branded displays. (Some) LG models may also work in RGB mode out of the box as they were sold as Pro gear in Apple stores. Searching for "RGB EDID patch .rb macOS" can find solutions.
