苹果：我们的天价屏幕只能用我们卖的布来擦，掉了就再买

If you thought the saga of the $7,000 Apple Pro Display XDR couldn’t get any more ridiculous, prepare yourself for the proverbial cherry on top: The company insists that you only use the single special cleaning cloth that comes with the monitor. If you lose it, you’re advised to order another.

如果你觉得售价7000美元的苹果Pro Display XDR显示器的故事已经荒谬至极了，那准备好听众所周知的更吸引人的故事吧：苹果公司坚称，只能使用与显示器配套的独一无二的特殊擦镜布清洁屏幕。如果丢失这块擦镜布，建议再订购一块。

Apple, already under fire from longtime users for the ever-increasing price of its products, attracted considerable ire and ridicule when it announced the high-end monitor in June. Of course, there are many expensive displays out there — it was more the fact that Apple was selling the display for $5,000, the stand separately for $999 and an optional “nano-texture” coating for an additional grand.

苹果已经因其产品不断提价而遭受老顾客的猛烈抨击，而苹果在6月份宣布高端显示器后，又招来了大批怒火和嘲讽。当然，市面上有很多昂贵的显示器。真正让苹果备受抨击的是，苹果以5000美元的价格售卖显示器，而以999美元的价格单独售卖支架，可以选择的纳米纹理涂层还要加1000美元。

Technically it’s not actually a “coating” but an extremely small-scale etching of the surface that supposedly produces improved image quality without some of the drawbacks of a full-matte coating. “Typical matte displays have a coating added to their surface that scatters light. However, these coatings lower contrast while producing unwanted haze and sparkle,” the product description reads. Not so with nano-texture.
