New Apple Studio Display rumored to upgrade three key features
The new Studio Display upgrade includes an A19 chip, 120Hz ProMotion, and HDR likely using Mini-LED technology, enhancing brightness and performance, reports Espósito.
- Next year, Apple Inc. is expected to launch a second-generation Apple Studio Display rumored to include an A19 processor, ProMotion at 120Hz, and HDR.
- Macworld's Filipe Espósito reported that leaked code and a pre-release iOS 26 build identify the external display as `J527`, indicating a bigger Studio Display 2 upgrade than expected.
- The current Apple Studio Display uses an A13 Bionic chip, runs at 60Hz with SDR only, and costs more than $1,500; if Apple adopts the MacBook Pro panel, brightness could reach 1,000 nits sustained and 1,600 nits peak for HDR.
- Apple may time the display either with early high-end M5 MacBook Pro models or later with the M5 Mac Studio and Mac mini, while Bloomberg reports a second Mac display next year.
- Even without other changes, Espósito notes the three Studio Display upgrades would make a strong revision, and M5 Ultra's spec gains could amplify appeal for pro and AI workflows alongside Mac Studio.
