@@KCkohler When they removed it, it literally left gouges in the cable, and flexed the display so much they thought it was going to break. Before they ended up being able to remove it, it became a question of if Linus was willing to break the display. That's the level of force require, with an additional person to brace it. That is hardwired by almost any standard.
@@KCkohler That's not simply "removable" as "removable" in this context would be akin to "unpluggable." In reality, what is required is "disassembly." This is further reinforced by Apple's own technical specs which reflect that the power cable "is not removable."
The funniest thing about the cable is they engineered a proprietary connector and then made the plug non user removable. This is so they can attach cords for different regions as needed at time of manufacturing. Apple understands the benefit of modular design but actively chooses not to pass those benefits on to its customers.
Its crazy that Apple had gone completely out of their way to make it needlessly complicated on EVERYONE. Even logistics-wise, instead of packing the monitor with the corresponding region power cable its shipped to, they have to solder the power cable in and hope to God they have sold enough and have enough for each region these monitors are shipped to. If something does happen to the cable, that’s one more problem for the customer service team and Apple Store staff to deal with than they have to, and it would all be easily fixed just by making the cable removable.
@@JohnSmith-pn2vl Cables do fail, because the get rolled over or pinched or used as a chew toy by animals. Another point Linus made is the cable it ships with is too short for many use cases and you obviously won't be able to buy a longer one if apple says it's not removable.
@@JohnSmith-pn2vl This cable might: 1) Simply not be long enough for a user's setup 2) Be chewed on by a pet 3) Be an ugly black colour when the user wants a white cable to match their Apple aesthetic No matter how you look at it, there's just no excuse for this. It would be easier for Apple and better for the end user to ship a standard power cable.
@@JohnSmith-pn2vl and also, sorry, but with a UK plug on it won't fit through most of the fucking circular cutouts on desks, so get te fuck with your useless hate has no merit. EVERY SINGLE MONITOR i plug in I have to thread the kettle end up through the hole first. That stupid fucking disc is also probably too big, there was nothing wrong with the magsafe connector from the iMac or a SIMPLE FUCKING KETTLE LEAD.
I love the drop in shots where numerous other staff members are disgusted with that hard-wired cable. It's such an obvious deal breaker, I have no idea how it got implemented.
So you are driven to buying a new display when it the cable breaks. To be fair though I have never broken a single power cable be it monitor or power supply or anything but that said I wonder how much of that is due to it having a detachable cable so I can keep it out of the way when I move stuff around. Obviously having it is vastly superior to not having it and no clue why they didn't go for the old macbook style magsafe connector which is by far the best power connector design ever made.
@@HimmelWeint it is stupid that it's not easier but they took it out and put it in a few times and it was fine so it's not really a big deal just unnecessarily annoying
As Linus brought up in the WAN show... engineers spent TIME to design that unremovable cable. It took MORE EFFORT to make it hardwired than it would have to go with an existing normal removable cable. These people went out of their way to give their customers the middle finger and take their money for what shouldnt even be a repair, but just a cable replacement.
@@sys-administrator Yeah and of course an expensive magsafe connector Had No way of fitting in the Budget... Im sorry im not fronting you but these kinds of decisions are ridiculously anti-consumer
@@sys-administrator As shown in the WAN show, the cord is not soldered, it is just attached with a non-user serviceable connector. I am 100% sure the same amount of time used to engineer this could have been spent to find an already tested, user-serviceable connector that would fit in.
@UCADKGdldXLC4xMkA_ipqZvg a c14 connector can fit in there, you’re talking out your ass with that comment. The display is thicker, and has ample interior space and for the price point they are selling this at they could easily afford to add a MagSafe adapter. This is just an anti consumer product plain and simple. Stop shilling for apple.
It was so simple to not have any controversy, all they had to do was to put MagSafe like in the m1 iMac, and the same arm system as in the ProDisplay XDR
The "Wow" feeling with Apple before, was, "wow, wonderful easy to use versatile tech". The "wow" then became: "wow, really expensive". Now, the "wow" feeling: "wow, frankly stupid". Sad.
Even when it was "wow. wonderful easy to use versatile tech." it was "wow, really expensive." and "wow, frankly stupid." They've never been able to resist screwing their customers.
Thank you guys! There is a HUGE issue with how this s**t has been reviewed so far - they are trying to move it as passable, which is plain ridiculous. No HDR, the most idiotic non-removable cable, unutilized chip (where is FaceID???), no variable refresh rate, moron approach towards stands and mounts and they charge 1400+ for this crap. Tech journalist must hold Apple accountable for such excuse of a product, otherwise they will keep pulling this over and over again. The audacity of them calling it 'accesible' is beyond me - it's a pure money trap for the less tech savy users. Verge gave it 6 out of 10 even though they mentioned it's old ass backlight technology - 6 out of 10 doesn't do justice for such prefatory tactics towards their consumers. To replace your cable, you will ship the whole thing to Apple Care, for which you pay of course, and not be able to use your product whole it's getting 'fixed'. There is a power cable standard for monitors that's being used for years, they didn't had to ducking reinvent the wheel, heck, use the magsafe if you wanna blood suck more cash. Apple needs to be held under the same standard, as other brands, for what they release and media should remind them that. You guys, are the single best review of this display so far and I'm 99% sure it will remain that way. Thank you Andy and all else behind camera for doing the right thing, instead of eating the rotten Apples.
Plus all of the reviewers praising it for the design should show it being used by someone who isn't the optimal height for the monitor. Put it on a good looking heavy duty VESA mount (which adds at least $75 to the total cost), to make it actually usable by people who aren't an average male, and see what that does to the overall aesthetic. Otherwise, they can review it with a stack of papers on the bottom to put it at a comfortable viewing angle, and again review it that way. Forcing users to pay a premium just to make it usable for a huge majority of the population who aren't 5'10" (178cm) should have been panned by most reviewers, but instead it's barely noted by a majority of them. Meanwhile basically every other monitor oriented towards professionals has height adjustability included because it's blatantly obvious to every manufacturer that this feature is vital to ensuring that the tall man and short woman in the office can both see the screen.
but if tech journalist do not praise everything that apple does and held them accountable for crappy and expensive products they might not get them for free next time they release hardware?
Yeah that's why I love LTT. LTT HAS the best content and doesn't not need to kiss ass to get the products. Other RUclipsrs do that so they can get views cause most people think of apple as luxury and reviewers want apple stuff so they can get views

How can you say that when all competing monitors are made of cheap plastic? LG and others take a panel, slap some plastic bezels on it, and call it a day.
@@somebodyyoudontknow2464 We were talking about the effort put into the design, so I was talking about how it is made and what it looks like. In other words, the design. You said you switched to Android because Apple doesn't put enough effort into the design of their products, but now you tell me you don't care about design? You seem like a fanboy that wants his cake and eat it too. It's undeniable that Apple puts more effort into designing its monitors than other companies do. That's just a fact. Whether you care about that is a different thing entirely. Different people have different preferences and look for different things in a product. You might not care what it looks like, but other people, including me, do. I actually care a lot. The aesthetics of something are an important feature to me.

Update, My Studio Display blew up yesterday, belching smoke for 6 minutes before a final loud bang. Only lasted 18 months, very scary failure and I did get it on video. Posted pictures of the failure on my community tab and what to look out for before this failure. I can't post a video because I now have no display. Update 2. Initial Investigations are pointing at the slim internal power supply thats failed, the left hand side section when looking at the display. The staff at the Apple store have seen all my videos of the failure and they were astonished, looked over the Display with a fine tooth comb but never opened it up. They could see from the video it's a totally destroyed unit. I purchased it from Apple 18 months ago and I'm in the refund process. Sadly that refund process isn't as automatic as it should be but i'm not surprised. And what's wild is they didn't keep the very damaged Studio Display. I'm the proud owner of a bricked, burnt out Studio Display, Yay.
Apple: "We're all about the environment" Also Apple: Building a huge corporate office, can't replace parts on your products, have to pay extra to get less, etc.
What you are searching is green washing. Apple is the best at doing that, saying they are protecting the environnement on shows but they are no better than anyone else or even actually worse

@@SpliffyMcYiffertons why would I want to add another device... There's already an ipad spc in the display, just get it to accept airplay streams like the Apple TV does...
What really gets me is the cable isnt even hardwired, it can be pulled out and replaced. This is apple being apple thinking people are just gonna toss out a monitor that is already overpriced and buy another overpriced monitor to replace it and some will. What will happen is A. most people will avoid it or B. amazon will start offering replacement kits with tool to pull the cable out.
That proprietary cable is replacable. On the Wan show Linus saw that there is a spring mechanizm holding it plase. Then we saw pics (leaks) of apple proprietary tool to diactivate the mechanizm. They made it this way so its cheaper for them to make regional plugs but also force you to buy Apple care as only Apple is able to replace the cable.... Brutal. Just buy the LG display , f***k those bastards.
This solution is genius by Apple. They have to conform to IEC 60320 standards because of the power cable's high voltage. Manufacturers have done one of two things up until now to solve this issue: 1) Use a C13/C14 connector. 2) Creating a proprietary connector and soldering it to the display. Option 1 would mean they must make the display thicker because the C13/C14 doesn't fit in the Studio Display. Apple cares about aesthetics, so they didn't want to do this. Option 2 is not friendly to consumers because the display has to be replaced when the cable breaks. Actually, so many TV and HiFi equipment manufacturers have taken this approach for decades, and no one bats an eye. Apple did something innovative here; they came up with a 3rd option. They made the cable non-user removable to comply with IEC 60320 standards, but they can remove the cable with a special tool. This way, they can replace a broken cable for the consumer when it breaks.
Apple always gives me a good feeling when they launch a new product. This time Apple made me feel AWESOME about my LG 5K Ultra-fine. Thank you Apple, I am now $3K richer cos I don’t have to buy this P.O.S.
@@ionstorm66 Which is hilarious given that 1) that's theoretically way more processing power than you need for that, and 2) it still doesn't even do a good job, it looks worse than the one built into the MacBook That's like using the coils from an electric stove to make a toaster and inexplicably ending up with a toaster that can't do bagels.
I'm pretty sure it's also used as its display engine. I'd rather manufacturers put a overly capable chip inside that'll give it a lot of headroom for future updates. Don't you hate it when you buy a common router that is powered by a processor that have just enough power to get by, and then you're stuck with only its current functionality. You get "firmware" updates mainly just for security patches but new features that might come with the firmware update are locked, because the chip is too weak.
As a man who unboxes a ton of monitors in the course of business, I want every single monitor manufacturer to box them up like apple does. God that would be delightful.
Like the game publishers (EA, Ubisoft, NFT gamestudios), they try to take it as far as possible without scaring the customer away. And if they backpaddle they are Apple-good guy because they _listened_ to the customer (just like the game studios!)
I’ve been daily driving the LG 5K for the past few years. I was hoping for the same thing but with miniLED/ProMotion. Instead we got the same thing with a $300 markup… after 5 years. Nice.
see other reviews, the contrast is much better and it has semi HDR and the brightness is noticeable brighter. The Display doesn't rock back and forth like the LG one does either. You have to decide if the price difference matters. In the side by side comparo I saw, the Apple was significantly better and the USB-C is 10Gb vs the LG being 5Gb/s. Also, the LG showed reflections more noticeable vs the standard Apple display. The LG can be adjusted higher but the sound is also not as good.
@@batsonelectronics the non-removeable cable is the biggest reason I will not buy this.

@Rob Oo It’s macOS’ scaling. It doesn’t do fractional scaling very well, because there’s no sub-pixel antialiasing (ie, ClearType on Windows). With 5K, I can just run 200%, integer scaling. If I do that with a 27” 4K display, everything is too big. I should mention that I’m actually trying a 4K screen right now (since I was so disappointed by the Studio Display) for 144Hz. It’s not _terrible_ scaling, but it’s still noticeable.

Funny thing is that cable is removable by Apple authorized service providers, but of course you need a tool in order to remove the cable, which the repair centres need to buy :) the ball keeps rolling
I really Hope this practise doesn't become normal! But knowing the Industry this might become more common... They started the trend of no removable battery and removing headphone jacs after all
The fact that you can forcefully rip it out make this whole situation even funnier, apple decided to make an anti-consumer feature and couldn't even properly implement it.
if you're going to put the chip from the phone into the display, why not also put the camera in there and have the worlds best webcam? We've always been told that laptop webcams are shite because theres no dedicated hardware for image processing like there is in phones. Now there can be and it still looks like a shite webcam? Whats the point
The point being, two years down the line, they'll do the exact same thing you said and charge you 2x the price. Apple can very well make a perfect monitor (well perfect for 99.9% of worlds population, but we'll always have 0.1% those kind of people who'll nitpick) with the kind of resources they have available to them, but they won't, because it's bad for business. It's just borderline unethical business practice, but they know people will still buy their $1600 e-waste.
@@77dris how exactly ? cuz if it's resolution, 8k monitors do exist and by your logic are better than this. Or you could get a 4k monitor with better refresh rate, bigger size, better brightness ( and/or with real HDR or Oled panel) or that's cheaper actually. The only real "apple to apple" (pun intended) comparison is the 5 years old (November 2016) LG UltraFine 5K. And that monitor is worst yes, but a lot cheaper, especially if you need height adjustment (then with the price difference you could get a whole M1 mac in fact). I can agree that it's one of the best desgined monitors out there (but without a replacable cord), not that is just flat out "better" than other monitors. It depends on somebody's needs.

Apple continues to slap their customers in the face with pointless little problems that have been solved years ago and yet they just keep saying "yes please may I buy another".

I don’t get it. It’s twice as thick as the iMac, costs more than an iMac, and has a non user friendly power cable and mounting options. How does apple manage to make such nice products but consistently with one major incredibly stupid and deal breaking design flaw. This is honestly worse than putting the charging port on the bottom of the Magic Mouse.
THANK YOU for resonating the frustration I have with this monitor. So many people say this is a great value at $1600 and there is no way in hell that’s true. I’m confident I could pick out a solid display, webcam, mic, and speaker setup and STILL be under the price of this overpriced ips display.
Not a 5K one. There are only two 5K monitors on the market right now, and both use the same panel. The other one costs $1299 and is in a cheap plastic case that wobbles horribly with the tiniest bump to the desk it is placed on. As a 27" 5K iMac user, I am disappointed that this did not have mini-LED (or even _any_ form of local dimming), it's just the same exact panel with a brighter backlight for nearly the starting cost of the 27" iMac. I can understand not being 120Hz ProMotion, since Thunderbolt 4 can't support 5K/120Hz. But the lack of local dimming is a big misstep IMO. When my iMac dies, will I buy this? Probably not, a nice 27" 4K monitor would be just fine, or maybe. 5K2K ultrawide. I'd rather put that extra money towards a higher-specced Mac Studio. But being one of only two 5K monitors on the market, and a rather significant step up in build quality from the $1299 one, it was priced at what Apple thought the market will bear. And I suspect it will sell just fine amongst people who are accustomed to the 5K iMacs/iMac Pros.
@@Justin.Franks Is the difference between 4k and 5k at 27'' that much? I kinda feel apple makes 5k displays because nobody else does so they can set whatever price they want.

If you want the version that barely breaks even against a dedicated GPU then you'll have to upgrade all the other components to the $6k version." Customers: "No, that's not what..."

This is especially hard to look at because Apple had the perfect solution from the G5 iMac: standard power connector with an end on the Apple-branded cable that makes it sit perfectly flush when plugged in. It meets the branding criteria AND lets professionals use existing cables.
The hardwired cable on old CRT's made sense, because they connected directly to the computer under /next to them for power and video This? This is idiotic cost-cutting AND! if you broke the power cord on the old CRT's, you could fix it with a screwdriver set, a soldering iron and a spare power cord
@@bigbundle3223 I was going to say the same thing except that I'd add one detail: This design seems to be blatant planned obsolescence. Once this monitor is no longer on the market, anyone who damaged the cable will likely just throw out the whole display.
Well, to be fair if you break the apple cable you can also fix it. You just need a wire cutter, some cable connector (wire nut or screw terminal) and while you at it add some extra cable because this stupid thing is way too short.
@@Jehty_ I wouldn't put it past Apple to have hidden circuitry in both ends of the cable and measure the resistance. If an unauthorized bit of cable is detected then the T2 chip locks you out "for your safety."
I think the studio desktop computer is such a huge win for Apple. I love that it also functions as a multi-port dock essentially too. Great design concepts. This thing has a hardwired power cable. Thanks for helping me make the decision that I absolutely don't need this.
Apple, I gotta say you knocked it out of the park with this one. Hard wiring the power cable into the monitor, why don't all monitors have this? Fantastic idea Apple, so futuristic, the design of it is just so perfect; you looked at what every other monitor has, a stupid detachable cable and you put that Apple spin on it and hard wired it into the monitor so it can never come out, not ever. Can't wait to get my hands on one of these monitors so I can give that cable a little tug and feel how secure you've made it Apple. Good job!

@@vitaliibraslavets yeah, and ultrawide gaming monitors are usually much more expensive than regular ones, so I think there’s no reason for sub $1k “regular” QD-OLEDs to not be relatively common in the next few months
There is a big issue with the display that reviews have not yet addressed. No its not the unacceptably horrendous webcam. The issue is that the monitor runs its own operating system (IOS) to manage the camera, microphone and speakers. Like any device running a consumer based operating system, it can't be run indefinitely without restarting it or you run into issues. If you don't restart your iPad or iPhone for weeks or months you will eventually experience all kind of issues. I got my studio display on March 18. yesterday my camera started acting up, then the microphone and speakers would stop working sporadically. After hours with Apple support it was determined the monitor needs to restart. BUT there is no way to do it, it has no power button and no way to actuality shut it down or reboot/restart properly. So the only way to do restart the display is to unplug it from the power source for a minute and plug it back in. We did so and its working fine again. However, doing it that way means you are crashing the build-in OS rather than properly restarting it. That of course can potentially damage the display just like crashing your computer every time you want to restart it.
This monitor is apples worst product in a long time, unless they got secret software features that they’re working on and plan to release as updates, like wireless display output
In that case they would have trumpeted those features in the event. They always showcase features that are not available at launch and roll them 3-6 months after the product launch.
Did the A13 Bionic have the networking silicon for the iPhone built in? If so, yeah, they could totally push a software update that adds wireless functionality, but if not, it may not even have the hardware for it.

M1 is genuinely pretty great but they are very quickly squandering all the goodwill they built with their actually-good products. This is the Mac Pro all over again. I don't know why Apple hates professionals so much.
As someone who worked in a Veterinary Medicine hospital/school and now works in a human medicine hospital, I can definitely tell you that 5K is something only people who shove Apple up their butts live and die by. Radiologists need extremely accurate, high contrast, very high resolution displays, and our go-to displays are the 4K ProArts. Occasionally someone gets a high-end Dell, but no one tries to justify the LG UltraFines, and by extension, this display. It just doesn’t have the full package at the price that the general professional needs. Prosumers can do whatever the hell they want because it’s their money and they don’t have to try and justify the purchase to claiming it’s a worthy betterment to the company and their employment.
ahh yes doctors and scientist. The most aesthically refined and educated group of people that ever lived. lolz. If you have ever looked at a scientific publication, medical document or product for even just a second you know how much aesthetically pleasing form concerns these professionals. (for those who have not: it's the most ugly non-, or badly designed stuff you will ever encounter.) So as professional as the may be in whatever they do, when I comes to appreciation of form most are not even on the level of your average toddler, let alone a prosumer. So let's stop pretending a radiologist is the end-all benchmark for all global display needs. Also: rendering crisp aliasing on a small font has more demanding pixel density requirements than a photo of organic material.
Ironic how you replied proving his theory about people that shove Apple up their butts. Also talking about vapid design (which btw hasn't changed for Apple in a good while) and doesn't debate the fact that these specs are not rounded enough for a lot of professionals. This product is simply put, bad. Medical tailored devices etc suck because those companies suck, the aesthetics of competitors in this market space is great. Insulting his profession shows a lot of insecurity on your part.
@@sullychow4123 I successfully insulted an entire profession in one go? Awesome. Actually: i know, it's a gift I had since I was little. Mind you: I only insult those who deserve it. You can call me the Robin Hood of being a dick. If you practice enough maybe you can be my little helper some day.
@@mmeerdam an “aesthetically pleasing form” doesn’t justify spending $500+ more on a monitor with a similar PPI, lower brightness, similar or worse color accuracy, no packaged hood for blocking external light from coming in when looking at x-rays, CTs and other radiographs, etc. Aesthetically-pleasing is not a feature that businesses care about, especially when you’re talking about needing to purchase four per person (two at work, two at home, typically). Function always beats form in our industry.

it seems so easy for apple to make a good display, I cannot think of any possible reason for them doing, or rather, not doing the stuff they did outside of pure malice, no idea how that benefits them but apple has hordes of top tier engineers and no doubt spends more money than the value of other well known companies on r&d every year it actually hurts my head.

I really think this was supposed to be a "iMac Pro" until really recently. I suspect they were unable to cool the M1 Ultra inside that chassy so they pushed it out only in the Studio version. The reason for the experience to be so shitty is probably because the lack of time to polish it (A13 put into it to just connect the features that were supposed to run from the M1) So they didn't have any of the software ready for adding great features into a display.
This actually makes a lot of sense. It would explain the and the need for a chip in what is meant to be a stand alone display. Not to mention that they’ve scrubbed the iMac 27 inch from their website. Still a shitty release overall though. Would have much preferred if they just waited to figure it out
@@Iffythegreat what both of you makes sense. I wonder if the pushed it out because the keynote would have been quite lackluster. I also wonder if this device can handle some processing for the rumored glasses.
The power cable and stand can't be removed, so when it breaks, either send it for expensive overpriced repair or throw it out, it only has Thunderbolt 3, because for some reason it has to have CPU in it and despite it having CPU and apparently operating system, unlike Samsung"s smart display you can't use it on its own. This is, without a doubt, the worst product you can invest in.
It’s weird the cable isn’t easily removable but how much wear do you people put on power cords? What are you doing with them? I have 50 year old floor lamps with hardwired power cords and they’re fine. They just sit there.

It actually is removable they didn’t pull hard enough watch other videos
@@KCkohler When they removed it, it literally left gouges in the cable, and flexed the display so much they thought it was going to break. Before they ended up being able to remove it, it became a question of if Linus was willing to break the display. That's the level of force require, with an additional person to brace it. That is hardwired by almost any standard.
@@KCkohler That's not simply "removable" as "removable" in this context would be akin to "unpluggable." In reality, what is required is "disassembly." This is further reinforced by Apple's own technical specs which reflect that the power cable "is not removable."
The funniest thing about the cable is they engineered a proprietary connector and then made the plug non user removable. This is so they can attach cords for different regions as needed at time of manufacturing. Apple understands the benefit of modular design but actively chooses not to pass those benefits on to its customers.
Its crazy that Apple had gone completely out of their way to make it needlessly complicated on EVERYONE. Even logistics-wise, instead of packing the monitor with the corresponding region power cable its shipped to, they have to solder the power cable in and hope to God they have sold enough and have enough for each region these monitors are shipped to. If something does happen to the cable, that’s one more problem for the customer service team and Apple Store staff to deal with than they have to, and it would all be easily fixed just by making the cable removable.
@@JohnSmith-pn2vl Cables do fail, because the get rolled over or pinched or used as a chew toy by animals. Another point Linus made is the cable it ships with is too short for many use cases and you obviously won't be able to buy a longer one if apple says it's not removable.
@@JohnSmith-pn2vl *Apple be like lmao
@@JohnSmith-pn2vl This cable might:
1) Simply not be long enough for a user's setup
2) Be chewed on by a pet
3) Be an ugly black colour when the user wants a white cable to match their Apple aesthetic

I love the drop in shots where numerous other staff members are disgusted with that hard-wired cable. It's such an obvious deal breaker, I have no idea how it got implemented.
it is removable its really hard to but you can take it out Linus took it out on a wan show
So you are driven to buying a new display when it the cable breaks. To be fair though I have never broken a single power cable be it monitor or power supply or anything but that said I wonder how much of that is due to it having a detachable cable so I can keep it out of the way when I move stuff around. Obviously having it is vastly superior to not having it and no clue why they didn't go for the old macbook style magsafe connector which is by far the best power connector design ever made.

@@stephensmith9951 technically it’s removable, but according to apple its not
As Linus brought up in the WAN show... engineers spent TIME to design that unremovable cable.

These people went out of their way to give their customers the middle finger and take their money for what shouldnt even be a repair, but just a cable replacement.

@@sys-administrator Yeah and of course an expensive magsafe connector Had No way of fitting in the Budget... Im sorry im not fronting you but these kinds of decisions are ridiculously anti-consumer
@@sys-administrator As shown in the WAN show, the cord is not soldered, it is just attached with a non-user serviceable connector. I am 100% sure the same amount of time used to engineer this could have been spent to find an already tested, user-serviceable connector that would fit in.
@UCADKGdldXLC4xMkA_ipqZvg a c14 connector can fit in there, you’re talking out your ass with that comment. The display is thicker, and has ample interior space and for the price point they are selling this at they could easily afford to add a MagSafe adapter. This is just an anti consumer product plain and simple. Stop shilling for apple.
why? because they can. if not the casuals, the hardcore would accept it anyway.
It was so simple to not have any controversy, all they had to do was to put MagSafe like in the m1 iMac, and the same arm system as in the ProDisplay XDR
But that would make their margins lower than 90% they can't do that

Thank you guys! There is a HUGE issue with how this s**t has been reviewed so far - they are trying to move it as passable, which is plain ridiculous. No HDR, the most idiotic non-removable cable, unutilized chip (where is FaceID???), no variable refresh rate, moron approach towards stands and mounts and they charge 1400+ for this crap. Tech journalist must hold Apple accountable for such excuse of a product, otherwise they will keep pulling this over and over again. The audacity of them calling it 'accesible' is beyond me - it's a pure money trap for the less tech savy users. Verge gave it 6 out of 10 even though they mentioned it's old ass backlight technology - 6 out of 10 doesn't do justice for such prefatory tactics towards their consumers. To replace your cable, you will ship the whole thing to Apple Care, for which you pay of course, and not be able to use your product whole it's getting 'fixed'. There is a power cable standard for monitors that's being used for years, they didn't had to ducking reinvent the wheel, heck, use the magsafe if you wanna blood suck more cash.
Apple needs to be held under the same standard, as other brands, for what they release and media should remind them that.
You guys, are the single best review of this display so far and I'm 99% sure it will remain that way. Thank you Andy and all else behind camera for doing the right thing, instead of eating the rotten Apples.
Plus all of the reviewers praising it for the design should show it being used by someone who isn't the optimal height for the monitor. Put it on a good looking heavy duty VESA mount (which adds at least $75 to the total cost), to make it actually usable by people who aren't an average male, and see what that does to the overall aesthetic. Otherwise, they can review it with a stack of papers on the bottom to put it at a comfortable viewing angle, and again review it that way.
Forcing users to pay a premium just to make it usable for a huge majority of the population who aren't 5'10" (178cm) should have been panned by most reviewers, but instead it's barely noted by a majority of them. Meanwhile basically every other monitor oriented towards professionals has height adjustability included because it's blatantly obvious to every manufacturer that this feature is vital to ensuring that the tall man and short woman in the office can both see the screen.
Or just dont buy apple 🤧
The only reason they are driving up the prices is because they are losing loyal customer base.
Apple PR gives money and preference to the media. Not many will blow that cash cow for completely objective reviews.
but if tech journalist do not praise everything that apple does and held them accountable for crappy and expensive products they might not get them for free next time they release hardware?

Initial Investigations are pointing at the slim internal power supply thats failed, the left hand side section when looking at the display. The staff at the Apple store have seen all my videos of the failure and they were astonished, looked over the Display with a fine tooth comb but never opened it up. They could see from the video it's a totally destroyed unit. I purchased it from Apple 18 months ago and I'm in the refund process.

What will happen is A. most people will avoid it or B. amazon will start offering replacement kits with tool to pull the cable out.
"most people will avoid it" I hope so, but I don't expect it. Just look at all the bs devices people buy from apple
That proprietary cable is replacable. On the Wan show Linus saw that there is a spring mechanizm holding it plase. Then we saw pics (leaks) of apple proprietary tool to diactivate the mechanizm. They made it this way so its cheaper for them to make regional plugs but also force you to buy Apple care as only Apple is able to replace the cable.... Brutal. Just buy the LG display , f***k those bastards.
The people who buy Apple products are the type to throw away the monitor and buy a new one. Not because they are all rich but because they're stupid
This solution is genius by Apple.
They have to conform to IEC 60320 standards because of the power cable's high voltage.
Manufacturers have done one of two things up until now to solve this issue:
1) Use a C13/C14 connector.
2) Creating a proprietary connector and soldering it to the display.
Option 1 would mean they must make the display thicker because the C13/C14 doesn't fit in the Studio Display. Apple cares about aesthetics, so they didn't want to do this.
Option 2 is not friendly to consumers because the display has to be replaced when the cable breaks. Actually, so many TV and HiFi equipment manufacturers have taken this approach for decades, and no one bats an eye.
Apple did something innovative here; they came up with a 3rd option. They made the cable non-user removable to comply with IEC 60320 standards, but they can remove the cable with a special tool. This way, they can replace a broken cable for the consumer when it breaks.

see other reviews, the contrast is much better and it has semi HDR and the brightness is noticeable brighter. The Display doesn't rock back and forth like the LG one does either. You have to decide if the price difference matters. In the side by side comparo I saw, the Apple was significantly better and the USB-C is 10Gb vs the LG being 5Gb/s.

if you're going to put the chip from the phone into the display, why not also put the camera in there and have the worlds best webcam?

Whats the point
The point being, two years down the line, they'll do the exact same thing you said and charge you 2x the price. Apple can very well make a perfect monitor (well perfect for 99.9% of worlds population, but we'll always have 0.1% those kind of people who'll nitpick) with the kind of resources they have available to them, but they won't, because it's bad for business. It's just borderline unethical business practice, but they know people will still buy their $1600 e-waste.
Ye
So strange, you'd expect the product designed to have a great screen, great speakers, and camera would be better than the laptop; but no.
Apple really dropped the ball with this monitor, it's so over-engineered and yet it fails to deliver a great experience.
They spent most of that R&D on the non-user friendly cable unfortunately.
But it is still better than any other 4K desktop display, or windows laptop monitor, out there (with 2x the resolution).
@@77dris how exactly ? cuz if it's resolution, 8k monitors do exist and by your logic are better than this. Or you could get a 4k monitor with better refresh rate, bigger size, better brightness ( and/or with real HDR or Oled panel) or that's cheaper actually.
The only real "apple to apple" (pun intended) comparison is the 5 years old (November 2016) LG UltraFine 5K. And that monitor is worst yes, but a lot cheaper, especially if you need height adjustment (then with the price difference you could get a whole M1 mac in fact).
I can agree that it's one of the best desgined monitors out there (but without a replacable cord), not that is just flat out "better" than other monitors. It depends on somebody's needs.
The amount it bounces too thanks to the flimsy stand is so distracting
Looking forward to somebody ripping this thing open to reveal all of the extra space where the iMac was supposed to go.
This - I want to see a disassembly vid. I betcha there's an iPhone or iMac mobo in it, repurposed.
that's was also my first thought when i saw this thing. i was expecting an imac but was just a monitor...
it already has a mac inside, A13 couldve been a M1
It's really frustrating how it's not full screen with the iPad. You have all this computing power inside the monitor and the iPad and you get a boxed image. That's just sad.
And its not wireless 😂👌😂
Can't imagine being the first engineer constructing a non removable plug on a 'pro' monitor since 1980's. XD

Not a 5K one. There are only two 5K monitors on the market right now, and both use the same panel. The other one costs $1299 and is in a cheap plastic case that wobbles horribly with the tiniest bump to the desk it is placed on. As a 27" 5K iMac user, I am disappointed that this did not have mini-LED (or even _any_ form of local dimming), it's just the same exact panel with a brighter backlight for nearly the starting cost of the 27" iMac. I can understand not being 120Hz ProMotion, since Thunderbolt 4 can't support 5K/120Hz. But the lack of local dimming is a big misstep IMO.
When my iMac dies, will I buy this? Probably not, a nice 27" 4K monitor would be just fine, or maybe. 5K2K ultrawide. I'd rather put that extra money towards a higher-specced Mac Studio. But being one of only two 5K monitors on the market, and a rather significant step up in build quality from the $1299 one, it was priced at what Apple thought the market will bear. And I suspect it will sell just fine amongst people who are accustomed to the 5K iMacs/iMac Pros.

For that price they should have made it a full M1 iMac that you can hook an external source up to. Also if you could have the iMac power cord with the ethernet adapter plugged in then it would be much more appealing as a laptop docking monitor.

A few years ago I walked into an Apple store and looked at some macbooks. An employee came to me smiling and glowing and asked me if I needed help. I asked them what processor the macbook was using (it was some Intel variant) and he looked at me like I was crazy. His answer was "I don't know but it should not matter". I'm sure that many people will buy this monitor just because it was made by Apple. It doesn't matter that there are better alternatives out there, for even less money. The moral is, don't be mindless sheep.

Apple's original Cinema displays and Thunderbolt display didn't have detachable cables either.
This is especially hard to look at because Apple had the perfect solution from the G5 iMac: standard power connector with an end on the Apple-branded cable that makes it sit perfectly flush when plugged in. It meets the branding criteria AND lets professionals use existing cables.
The hardwired cable on old CRT's made sense, because they connected directly to the computer under /next to them for power and video
This? This is idiotic cost-cutting
AND! if you broke the power cord on the old CRT's, you could fix it with a screwdriver set, a soldering iron and a spare power cord
its not even cost cutting, this was more expensive and difficult than just using the existing parts and designs
@@bigbundle3223 I was going to say the same thing except that I'd add one detail: This design seems to be blatant planned obsolescence. Once this monitor is no longer on the market, anyone who damaged the cable will likely just throw out the whole display.
Well, to be fair if you break the apple cable you can also fix it.
You just need a wire cutter, some cable connector (wire nut or screw terminal) and while you at it add some extra cable because this stupid thing is way too short.
@@Jehty_ I wouldn't put it past Apple to have hidden circuitry in both ends of the cable and measure the resistance. If an unauthorized bit of cable is detected then the T2 chip locks you out "for your safety."
@@Treddian😂 yeah, that would seem like an apple thing to do.
I think the studio desktop computer is such a huge win for Apple. I love that it also functions as a multi-port dock essentially too. Great design concepts. This thing has a hardwired power cable. Thanks for helping me make the decision that I absolutely don't need this.
Apple, I gotta say you knocked it out of the park with this one. Hard wiring the power cable into the monitor, why don't all monitors have this? Fantastic idea Apple, so futuristic, the design of it is just so perfect; you looked at what every other monitor has, a stupid detachable cable and you put that Apple spin on it and hard wired it into the monitor so it can never come out, not ever. Can't wait to get my hands on one of these monitors so I can give that cable a little tug and feel how secure you've made it Apple. Good job!

Fun fact, Linus did remove the cable, and nearly cracked the display in the process
That's in the video.
we all watched the same video
There is a big issue with the display that reviews have not yet addressed. No its not the unacceptably horrendous webcam. The issue is that the monitor runs its own operating system (IOS) to manage the camera, microphone and speakers. Like any device running a consumer based operating system, it can't be run indefinitely without restarting it or you run into issues. If you don't restart your iPad or iPhone for weeks or months you will eventually experience all kind of issues. I got my studio display on March 18. yesterday my camera started acting up, then the microphone and speakers would stop working sporadically. After hours with Apple support it was determined the monitor needs to restart. BUT there is no way to do it, it has no power button and no way to actuality shut it down or reboot/restart properly. So the only way to do restart the display is to unplug it from the power source for a minute and plug it back in. We did so and its working fine again. However, doing it that way means you are crashing the build-in OS rather than properly restarting it. That of course can potentially damage the display just like crashing your computer every time you want to restart it.
Very curious for a side by side comparison to the LG.
This monitor is apples worst product in a long time, unless they got secret software features that they’re working on and plan to release as updates, like wireless display output
In that case they would have trumpeted those features in the event. They always showcase features that are not available at launch and roll them 3-6 months after the product launch.

Did the A13 Bionic have the networking silicon for the iPhone built in? If so, yeah, they could totally push a software update that adds wireless functionality, but if not, it may not even have the hardware for it.

Radiologists need extremely accurate, high contrast, very high resolution displays, and our go-to displays are the 4K ProArts. Occasionally someone gets a high-end Dell, but no one tries to justify the LG UltraFines, and by extension, this display. It just doesn’t have the full package at the price that the general professional needs. Prosumers can do whatever the hell they want because it’s their money and they don’t have to try and justify the purchase to claiming it’s a worthy betterment to the company and their employment.

The reason for the experience to be so shitty is probably because the lack of time to polish it (A13 put into it to just connect the features that were supposed to run from the M1) So they didn't have any of the software ready for adding great features into a display.
This actually makes a lot of sense. It would explain the and the need for a chip in what is meant to be a stand alone display. Not to mention that they’ve scrubbed the iMac 27 inch from their website. Still a shitty release overall though. Would have much preferred if they just waited to figure it out
@@Iffythegreat what both of you makes sense. I wonder if the pushed it out because the keynote would have been quite lackluster. I also wonder if this device can handle some processing for the rumored glasses.
The power cable and stand can't be removed, so when it breaks, either send it for expensive overpriced repair or throw it out, it only has Thunderbolt 3, because for some reason it has to have CPU in it and despite it having CPU and apparently operating system, unlike Samsung"s smart display you can't use it on its own.
This is, without a doubt, the worst product you can invest in.
Exactly
It’s weird the cable isn’t easily removable but how much wear do you people put on power cords? What are you doing with them? I have 50 year old floor lamps with hardwired power cords and they’re fine. They just sit there.
It is removable, watch till the end, Linus unplugged it on wan show
@@Maxi86inAction I know he did, but official support says it's not, so removing it probably violates guarantee and Luke said, that the chasis was flexing hard when Linus was removing it, so idk what you're talking about
@@Volnas97 I'm saying it can be removed, it's not impossible...
9:10 Well, the framerate on the Studio Display's webcam was *visibly* not up to snuff...
As w/ the LG Ultrafine displays, the single input is a non-starter, especially at this price. And a hard-wired power cable? Wow.
