Oh man, I laughed my ass off when I heard that live. They marketed that completely wrong. That's why they got the reaction.

yeah every time idiots cheer on the deplatforming of a person, it gives companies cover to keep doing this indefinitely

IKR.
To think that back in the day we got lambasted for using a Mac.
Now people will think their cool because they got a $1000 fucking TV stand.

The Video still seems to be up for me? Maybe Youtube revoked the copyright strike for being fucking ridiculous and one that given their recent purge shenanigans would only backfire on them.
Also within a week of the first Stands shipping, you know someone out there is going to come out with a realistically priced model.

Yeah seems the video was brought back up. Most recent comments started only 21 minutes ago with the comments before that being 1 day ago.

I still can’t get over the stand... like... what planet must you live on to think that’s ok?
Don’t get me wrong, the rest is actually not that bad priced compared to apples usual shit, but... that stand...
I shouldn’t be shocked. This is from the same company that makes latex cases for iPhones that cost £50 (I get mine for £5, exactly the same).
Crazy man...

About 1.51 second jobs. Or 2 with inflation.

I'm looking forward to September when they announce the new iPhone at $1000 and then people remember that this same company sells a monitor stand for that price.
Once they see that idiots will actually pay $1000 for a stand, they will announce the new, top-end iPhone for $3499, and a special iCover for it for $999.

You can get an next gen Xbox and PS for that price.

2019 censorship: Conservative views and Liberal company blunders. Something something "private business".

It holds up your 6k monitor and it allows you to rotate the screen to portrait mode if you want (something my less than $1000 Dell Ultrasharp has done for years). Portrait mode sounds cool, but in truth, I'm hard-pressed to think of many case scenarios that would benefit from it.

Was pretty upset when I saw Apple disabled comments on their official video. I just wanted to read the reactions

Wow that looks like the guy deliberately went through that part very quickly knowing the price is dumb and wanting to get over it as fast as possible. Him leaving the stage even looks like he's like "ok whew I'm done, holy shit I need to get off the stage NOW"
