Doubt it. They've also moved it upmarket. It ostensibly starts at $1,099 instead of $1,299 now, but really, the average sales price has probably gone way, way up.



Could be. Given that they just launched a $4,999 (stand not included) display, though, I don't think they're interested in that market.

Maybe if they have a particular twist to add — such as touch. But then they'll want you to pay extra, whether you care about the feature or not.
Not sure why they wouldn't be interested in that market unless they are protecting iMac sales. Tech offices are clinging to old Apple Thunderbolt Displays. A $500 Apple Thunderbolt / USB 3 display would sell very well.

The twist is seamless integration and aesthetics, as it always has been.
