It seems intentional in a "it would cost resources to extend this past what we benefit" way. In other words, a business made a cost-benefit analysis.
I fail to see where your frustration is coming from, or why it's targeted at Apple. It's most likely just a calculated cost savings measure.
- tracker1 11y agoThe frustration is targeted at Apple, because someone there likely made this decision... The support was likely already written, and expressly removed, because Apple makes Thunderbolt monitors. Not to mention that Apple is known for it's wide profit margin, so any cost/benefit analysis is less meaningful in that regard. I'm not sure where you think said frustration should be directed.
- m_mueller 11y agoRather than speculating on what Apple did internally, I think the real question is whether Apple advertises DisplayPort 1.2 support, since this feature is part of the DP 1.2 spec. So far I can't find anything about this on their product pages. If that's the case it's basically users demanding features that were never put into the specs of a product.

It is particularly useful on systems where space is at a premium, such as portable computers or to support multiple connectors on reduced height add-in cards. https://developer.apple.com/softwarelicensing/agreements/minidisplayport.php https://developer.apple.com/softwarelicensing/agreements/min...

- chris_wot 11y agoMini DisplayPort started from 1.2 of the DisplayPort standard.
