Apple Could Re-Enter Display Market Soon

There have been a lot of rumors suggesting that Apple would re-enter the display market this year. Apple officially stopped making displays in late-2016, with the introduction of the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and the LG UltraFine Display line. Apple and LG had a special partnership to create the UltraFine lineup specifically for the MacBook Pro. On Apple's site, the LG UltraFine 4K Display has been sold out for some time, but today, Apple removed the listing from their site. The 5K model remains on the site. This seems to either say that LG is discontinuing their UltraFine lineup or that Apple is ready to launch a new display, which seems more likely. Apple could do a lot of interesting things with this model. Yes, it could just be a new display with USB-C and fancy images. But it could be a lot more. There could be AirPlay 2 integration or a wireless charging spot on the base. With Apple's focus on continuity, a new Apple display could be more than just a display.

LG UltraFine 5K Display Swooping In and Out of Stock

The LG UltraFine 5K Display announced alongside the new MacBook Pros have gone in and out of stock today. Whether this is because of short stock or an accidental store listing has yet to be seen. However, if you are in need of this display, definitely jump at the chance if you find it in stock at the sale price of $974. The 4K version of this display is still in steady stock, although will take over a month to ship. Both of these displays use the new P3 color gamut found in the new MacBook Pros and USB-C.
