#3It's generated so much extra exposure for WWDC and their other announcements. Although they aren't pronouncing it, I'm sure their marketing department disagree.

I know any press is good press, but come on. You can't just excuse any too-expensive product this way.

#6I don’t understand why they announced the stand during the keynote at all. It’s not something to be proud of and it isn’t cutting-edge technology. They could have just put it for sale quietly and the outrage would have been far less.

Excatly. I never heard hate. Only laughts. "apple is doing a stupid apple thing"
It's actually good PR: everybody talk about it, but they also they it's a good quality monitor, just that apple is over pricing an accessory, which is a cheap way of making the luxury brand perceptuon stronger... Huge com win for very little effet.

#9This is a silly criticism, it’s not a PR fail.
The monitor stand is like a $99 hamburger on the menu. For the people rich enough to never care about the cost of a restaurant meal it’s a purchase, and for everyone else it’s a cue that this brand is absolutely top end prestigious and expensive.
Im counting the days until I see one in a rap video or all over rich kid Instagram.

#10By itemizing the stand, they inadvertently(?) exposed how much they're fleecing the consumer.
