I can't wait to hear what people have to complain about this.

Wow! Weird! That LG 5K UltraFine is looking a lot less ugly at that price point. Tempted.

Edit: Nope, that monitor is still hideous.

It would appear the word got back to Apple about their user base not being happy about being taken advantage of just for being a loyal Mac user.
