Maybe Apple has gone too far this time. Let&#8217;s be honest: Your monitor already costs 6&#8217;000 US and then you charge customers extra for the stand? In fact this might be logical as some people want to mount the display on a compative VESA mount but some don&#8217;t have that mount and then they have to shell out another 1000 US$ for amatching stand? This is indeed a bit ridiculous.
