It is top price, has nothing to do with quality!
Just like "high end" audiophoolery, with sloppy wiring & cheep components, crApple is all about perception."pokemon go... to hell!"
EOL it...

Re: new apple studio display uses capxon caps
CapXon is unavoidable. I can only hope that their quality has improved, but I doubt it.
On top of that, the design of this monitor is insane. What are they doing with a full iPhone SoC and such a large power supply? I guess they're reusing the SoC as a video scaler and the backlight will burn everyone's eyes.

Re: new apple studio display uses capxon caps
i mean generally apple products are superior to the competition, or overengineered.
they use high quality materials everywhere else.
I don't think they'd risk their reputation saving a few pennies on capxon instead of the japanese brands.
maybe capxon has improved.
these are 22uf 450v, must be custom made for apple in this pencil size

Re: new apple studio display uses capxon caps
Apple already has the cult who thinks it's cool to constantly buy new stuff (and create e-waste as a consequence), so there isn't any need to force products to fail. It's just a company being cheap because the average product life is shorter than the life of CrapXons. I see the same thing in appliances because of the HGTV renovation stuff.
The power supply was almost certainly contracted out to someone else, and nobody paid attention to the quality of the parts. The power supply manufacturer probably thinks all cap brands are the same, and Apple just slaps the board in the monitor. I've seen that happen in applications that need higher reliability than a consumer product.
It's possible that this 265W power supply (at least that's what I think it says - the video is out of focus) is mostly for Thunderbolt or USB-C power delivery instead of the backlight drawing 250W at full brightness.
Apple's quality problems aren't anything new in the consumer market. It's just that Apple products are more expensive than products with similar quality. I still say that Apple's keyboards last longer than the average consumer laptop keyboard (yes, even the "butterfly" keyboard that was failing in less than one year).

Apple does have one big advantage over windows/PC and that is software for connecting to other apple devices. My sister has a iphone, macbook and ipad and they easily share information, and communicate texts immediately between them.Cap Datasheet Depot: http://www.paullinebarger.net/DS/
