#62I'm reading this on a 27" 5K imac from 2014. It's a nice screen. But it's eight years old now. So, what's new?
in 2014, you could buy a 27" 5k iMac for 2000$. Now you can buy the exact same monitor, for 1600$. We've made a lot of progress.
That really is a shame. Mac screens have been amazing for a long time now, but as soon as the computer inside them is outdated and slow, the whole device including the still awesome display is obsolete. Thats the main reason I'd probably never buy an iMac.

#63Would be nice to have >5K resolutions to have more pixel density. Alas, macOS doesn't support any native scaling other than 100% and 200%. So if they did release e.g. a 27" 8K monitor, the text would either be too small, or they'd have to use bitmap scaling to make it bigger in which case there'd be no advantage of having an 8K monitor. (EDIT: To clarify, all other scaling factors are done by rendering at either 100%…
I’m running at neither 100% or 200% on my 4k 27”…
UI elements are still rendered at 2x and then downscaled. It's just that you (or most people) can't tell the difference. Me neither.

#64I hate this trend in ‘ultra modern’ websites with the infinite scroll pulling you through some sort of animation. The website is near unusable as a result.
I'm sitting here on a 2015 Macbook Pro and the site barely runs :P

#65I realize that as a staunch Linux user I'm not in their target demographic, but... wow that website is slightly motion sickness inducing. Is it as bad to scroll through this on a mac as it is on linux? I use a mouse with an actual wheel, maybe they don't optimize for that kind of legacy device...? Edit: it's also just so hard to scroll exactly to the points where the information is presented. I just mostly end up at…
Even if it worked perfectly, it's bad design.

I feel like everyone immediately realized what a terrible UX scrolljacking provides when the trend started, but Apple has pressed on despite their (in my opinion) otherwise thoughtful UX design.

Fun fact - if you have "reduce motion" enabled on macOS the webpage becomes a normal flat scrollable page (what you'd expect).

That's $2300 in todays dollars if it helps the cost comparison

#70Are people really paying 1.6k for a 60hz monitor?
Show me a higher/same resolution display with a higher refresh rate. I'd genuinely curious. I've been searching for a new monitor for a few weeks and can't find anything with 4K and more than 60Hz refresh rate.
