So far, I've been given:

Is everyone and their dog getting an IPod or what? Apple must be rolling in the cash this christmas eh! I mean, hell, they don't come cheap. Frankly I find they're overpriced....but people pay it... It's like going to the theatres. The food costs twice as much but people go nuts over it.

    • The site is pretty sparse on features / tech specs. Can I plug it into a PC/hone/Switch via USB-C and use it as an external display? If so, what's the virtual resolution of the screen, the refresh rate, PPI of the image etc? Is the text crisp enough to use for coding at say 12pt? Is it good enough for playing dark games, like say Path of Exile 2? How about fast games like car racing games? Just how do they expect anyone to order this thing without giving out all this info?
