Will they ever bring back target display mode? I can't imagine having a 32" screen that can't be used with anything but the built in computer. I feel like a ton of people have work computers like me who would want to use this as an external display.
Apples entire product line is designed around planned obsolescence. Seems unlikely to return.
It’s not and stop using “planned obsolescence” when you don’t understand what it means.

That definition word for word applies to Apple products. Like unreplaceable batteries that will always degrade before everything else. Being made out of easily breakable glass backs, not allowing installing your own software, etc.
Would be cool if they brought it back. They removed it after they went to 5k and had to build a custom display controller. Kinda figured they’d bring it back eventually. I wonder if it’s a patent issue or if they have telemetry showing most iMac users don’t use target display/multiple monitors.
