According to Bloombergs Mark Gurman, Apple is ramping up development on a Studio Display replacement. The company initially debuted this monitor in 2022 and has left it untouched since. There isnt much word on whatll be new with this Studio Display refresh, but itll apparently be a companion to the upcoming M5 MacBook Pros.Early last week, display supply chain expert Ross Young reported that Apple is working on a new Studio Display with mini-LED display tech, and now Mark Gurman from Bloomberg is backing that:Im told that Apple is currently testing prototypes of a display code-named J427 that should arrive by 2026. It will be a successor to the current Studio Display, rather than the Pro Display XDR, and features a design thats similar to the 2022 model.Gurmans reporting is light on details, though he does provide one interesting insight on Apples higher end monitor, the Pro Display XDR. After its release in 2019, the company has all but abandoned it. It lacks many features that the newer (and cheaper) Studio Display offer, such as a webcam, built in speakers, and a more affordable built-in stand.Despite this fact though, it doesnt seem like Apple has a second gen Pro Display XDR in the pipeline. Gurman reports that a new version is less of a priority for Apple. However, Apple remains committed to the professional market, and Gurman reaffirms that new Mac Pro and Mac Studio models are in the pipeline. He also mentions that the company will probably work on a larger-than-24-inch iMac eventually.My favorite Apple accessories on Amazon:Follow Michael:X/Twitter,Bluesky,InstagramAdd 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.
