Apple's March 2022 Event is in the books and boy was it a good one. iPhone SE in Alpine Green, iPad Air in purple with an M1 chip, and the debut of the all-new M1 Ultra (and M1 Max) Mac Studio desktop computer alongside a 27" 4k Retina Studio Display.

Wow. I think some wallets and bank accounts are significantly lower after this event - mine included.

How do you feel about the 27" iMac being discontinued?

What did you end up buying?
