> Because it was mostly advertised wrong. Wrong advertising makes it a differentiated good?! I bet you believe the BS about holding your iPhone wrongly, too.

Call a spade a spade: a device that is designed to compete with other devices 4x the price has has an aggressively priced _optional_ “luxury” stand for idiots who want to brag, and you’re mad at Apple? Why? Did they force you to buy one? I keep telling you the target market for these; A: doesn’t need a stand & B: wouldn’t use it if it was included. It’s for people cosplaying as high end video production people; or playing into the “fashion” side of Apple. Why are people so up in arms about Apple trying to be a tech company and a fashion company? Evaluate their products coldly and if they have value to you then buy them, if not: don’t. That stand by all rights has no value to anyone: but the same is true of SUPREME clothing or those trendy Fendi handbags. Get over yourself, it’s all just tools; and a $5k monitor that can do the job of a $40k one is a good value to someone. Just not to you, and that’s fine. I also don’t need to buy a $3,000 phone skin. But people buy that shit too. https://www.bellperre.com/uniq/ https://www.bellperre.com/uniq/

  >a device that is designed to compete with other devices 4x the price That itself is marketing spin. It's not like studios are throwing away their reference monitors for the apple display. You can design anything to compete; winning is the important bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtd7UzLJHrU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtd7UzLJHrU

  I'm sorry you are so triggered by this.

    I think the only person triggered is you. You're crying about another company existing? Why do you do that? Does it offend you that people choose things that aren't to your values? This is the same kind of weird bigotry that homophobes use. Who cares? Why does it offend you so much?
