US EditionApple Pro Display XDR 2 likely has key hardware upgrade over original $4999 monitor
The new Pro Display XDR will add a 12MP Center Stage camera to enhance video calls, following code hints found in macOS 26.1 Tahoe beta 3, improving on the original $5,000 model.
- In the near future, macOS 26.1 Tahoe beta 3's code references include `Pro Display XDR Camera` and `Pro Display XDR Desk View Camera`, suggesting Apple plans a built-in webcam for Pro Display XDR 2.
- Because the original Pro Display XDR lacked a webcam and speakers, Apple added Center Stage camera technology to the Studio Display and improved front-facing cameras across Apple devices.
- Code hints suggest the monitor will offer an overhead desk perspective using the Pro Display XDR Desk View Camera and Center Stage, which keeps users centered during video conferencing.
- Professionals who use high‑end monitors face pricing uncertainty as LG offers a 32‑inch monitor with Thunderbolt 5 for $400 more than Apple's Studio Display, while Mark Gurman, Bloomberg reports Apple is developing two new monitors.
- Possible hardware upgrades include 7K resolution, Thunderbolt 4/5, embedded Apple silicon, and higher refresh rates, while macOS 26.1 will likely release later this month with new products expected in the coming months.
