Rumors say there could be a ProMotion capable display in the works, to be released in the fall. Might be the successor to the Pro XDR (at a lower price hopefully).
A sibling to the XDR offering pro motion would be 10k without the stand.
I think tech reviews of anything monitor and graphics related on the Apple side of things have generally been bad takes for a while. (panning of Blackmagic eGPUs, XDR)
I think people got confused by the availability of retina displays on iPhone/iPad and laptops.
It’s a bit cute that most reviewers panned this display because it wasn’t the Pro XDR display at this price,
