Of course every analyst and commenter (including me) is an expert trying to tell Apple what to do. They could easily build a large monitor using the iMac display even if they needed to include and external GPU. But generally Apple shouldn't be a major player in peripherals.Īpple is in the display business for every product they sell except for AppleTV, Mac mini and Mac Pro. So why not milk that business since Apple sells speakers, etc in its stores anyway. Beats speakers and headphones/earbuds being an exception to this rule, but as noted by others, Apple bought Beats for the talent in order to launch Apple Music the hardware came along for the ride and meets Apple's profit margin criteria.
Note Apple is no longer in tbe printer business either. Apple should be focused on the products it's ecosystem actually runs on, and let others supply the dumb peripherals. For the same reason they likely won't enter the TV panel business. I me it makes sense Apple might get out altogether from the Monitor business.
