- erik 12y agoMy thoughts exactly. I could see Apple using a similar panel for the next 27" iMac and Thunderbold Display, while using a 4k panel for the smaller iMac.
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoAt $2500 a pop now, I doubt they would use this for another couple of years. Perhaps better to go with a UHD display now and deal with the the non-whole number multiple.
- leoc 12y agoI imagine they'll at least have to support other people's 5K monitors on the Mac Pro, and maybe sell one themselves as a high-end display option. (I assume that 5K will appeal to professionals working on 4K video.)
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoRight. They can already support UHD, so I think a UHD iMac is imminent. However, I see us quickly moving to QUHD after a bit of time in UHD.
- fredsted 12y agoThis is very likely - Apple has been using the same panel as Dell for their 27" 1440p Thunderbolt/Cinema displays.
- chrisblackwell 12y agoWhile I would love this to be the case, I think Apple is going to jump on the 4k bandwagon. All evidence suggest that Apple is gearing up for 4K, not desktop retina. (look at wallpaper sizing, and their 4k advertising push on the MacPro).
