Apple Announces Laptop Stand For $999; Creates Stir on Social Media - Report
The 'Pro Stand' has an intricately engineered arm that perfectly counter-balances the display so it feels virtually weightless, allowing users to easily place it into position.
San Francisco, June 6: Apple has announced a PC monitor stand that costs a whopping $999, priced much higher than an iPhone X, currently on sale on Apple's website starting at $749. It has got the social media on a roll. Apple made the "Pro Stand" announcement at the ongoing annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose. The monitor stand comes for Apple's new Mac Pro desktop, which starts at $6,000 and a display monitor called the Pro Display XDR that costs $4,999, CNN reported on Wednesday.

"Why the hell would one do that?? Selling display without a stand is like selling a car without tyres.. #Apple #ProStand," wrote another user. Even though the stand is optional, it remains unclear if the new Apple systems would be compatible with third-party monitor stands or not, the report said.
Meanwhile, netizens were quick to take to social media and express their opinions on the new costly stand from Apple. "Apple announces $999 Pro Stand and the audience collectively groans #WWDC19 #MacPro #ProStand #ProDisplayXDR," wrote a Twitter user.
