Simply including it in the 6,000 dollar pricetag would have been the best approach. We've never seen any consumer monitor with specs or technology such as this. When they present it at an event that is also for iPads, Apple watches etc. there are going to be many people who would never even consider buying a Pro monitor for home use. They have no reference point for what something like this should cost. Maybe they shouldn't have even mentioned the monitor price at all.But I think it should really have been included or cost $299 tops.
From a company with over 230 billion dollars in cash in the bank they could at least include the stand without hurting the bottom line. The 1,000 dollar monitor stand boondoggle has done much more damage to their reputation than anything financial. It makes them look like they are motivated by greed, which is the way many people already look at Apple. With all their billions in revenue as a corporation they get out of paying taxes on most of it. The average person earning their wages in the US works three months of the year just to pay their federal and state taxes.
