Apple's Rumored 27-Inch Mini-LED Display Now Said to Launch in October

[MacRumors]

Apple now plans to release a new 27-inch display with mini-LED backlighting in October due to the Shanghai lockdown, which has resulted in production of the display being delayed, according to display industry consultant Ross Young.

In a tweet, Young said Apple is in the process of moving production of the display from Quanta Computer to a different supplier and/or location, resulting in a delay. Young said it is now looking like the display will be released in October, whereas he previously claimed the display was on track for a June release, around Apple's developer conference WWDC.

Mini-LED backlighting would pave the way for the display to feature ProMotion with a variable refresh rate up to 120Hz. This could result in the display essentially being a "Studio Display Pro," but it's unclear if Apple would use that branding. Additional details are still unknown, including pricing. The existing Studio Display starts at $1,599.

Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, has in the past accurately revealed that the sixth-generation iPad mini would feature an 8.3-inch display and that the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models would feature ProMotion.

Darth Vader GIF saying NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

 

[ghanwani]

Most innovative product release this year?

 

[aidler]

Starting price 3,999 $US and if you want a removable cable that costs 500 $US more.

 

[MrGimper]

Thought this was the “iMac Pro Mac Ultra Strikes Back Return of” Edition iMac

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Sounds like an iMac honestly.

Apple, how about the move and then hitting up the other suppliers in Vietnam and India? It's one thing after another new products are due to be delayed.

 

[now i see it]

Two 27” displays released in the same year? Not going to happen

Two 27” displays released in the same year? Not going to happen

It would fit nicely into apple's pricing if you had:

Studio Display $1600
LED Studio Display $3000
7K Display $5000

 

[jonproject]

Only $3,499. Stand another $699. Nice.

 

[Arline]

Studio Display Pro - $5,000
The new Pro XDR - $10,000

How so? Mini-LED backlight would not change the Thunderbolt bandwidth limitation at all, and to my knowledge, it’s not possible to allow 5K 120hz, except using DSC (which is still irrelevant to the backlighting technology)

Nothing is going to make you better profits in the next few years than charging more and more for things you can find less and less of. I wonder when they will start laying off people.

 

[anthony13]

No way this happens so soon. I fall for every rumor, but not this one. (So naturally it will come true).

 

[BornAgainMac]

Maybe just a M2 and keep it thin. It isn't going to be a Mac Studio replacement.
[Edit] I thought this was a iMac 27 inch and not a display.

 

[Kylo83]

120hz isnt possible due to thunderbolt limitations

 

[Mr. Dee]

This one must be for the Kardashians and Ye! Knowing Apple and with the rise of inflation, this is gonna be priced out of most buyers income bracket.

 

[iBug2]

Two 27" displays in the same year? Not going to happen.

 

[Spock]

Perhaps these are just rumors of an updated version of the current Studio Display for early next year. That makes more sense to me.

 

[venom600]

Two 27" displays in the same year? Not going to happen.

iPad 3 and 2019 15" Macbook Pro owners felt the same way before the iPad 4 and 16" Macbook Pro came out months later...

 

[appleguy123]

Probably an $800 BTO on the current studio display. I’ve thought for awhile that Apple’s plan was to price their 5K led display higher than the market expected to make the MiniLED option look comparatively less expensive. Probably was the plan from the start but production delays made it impossible.

 

[cloudphrenia]

I don’t think it will be called the Studio Display Pro. Maybe the Studio Display XDR, and sell it for $3999. I think the current XDR Display will be replaced with an updated model, possibly with a higher refresh rate or resolution, to go along with the new AS Mac Pro.

 

[FasterQuieter]

Take an iMac, remove the computer and double the price. This is some kind of evil genius at work.

 

[iBug2]

iPad 3 and 2019 15" Macbook Pro owners felt the same way before the iPad 4 and 16" Macbook Pro came out months later...

Those lines are still much more frequently updated compared to displays. And Apple never sold two displays of the same size before.

 

[Tyler O'Bannon]

This is a weird rumor. Why would they release within months a version that only adds MiniLED? 120 Hz is not possible due to Thunderbolt limitations. Unless this is a spec upgrade option available (hopefully no more than $500), another product so close after is just strange.

one things for sure, time will tell…

 

[groove-agent]

Doubt it.
