It may well be that Apple wants $2999 just for the display, or they may charge much less. Considering a 5k iMac is $1799, I have a hard time believing they cannot produce a 5k display for a lot less than $1500, even with a GPU built in. I won't actually be surprised if it is $999. We all thought the Apple tablet would be $999 and up, and the Mac universe was shocked when it was just $499. Same thing with Apple Watch. This isn't even a matter of possibility; rather it's more a matter of probability. If they use the same panel (which is a very good panel) and the same GPU as the iMac, I can see them doing it for $999 for a base unit, and perhaps $1499 for one with a suped-up GPU.

Good plan!
If this is a thing, I think they will sell quite well at $1499, like hotcakes at $999. Anything over $1499 and a 27" iMac makes a helluva lot more sense.
