Overview
- Multiple outlets report Apple is preparing a Studio Display refresh in the first half of 2026, though the company has not announced it.
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says the new monitor looks similar to the current model, signaling no major external redesign.
- Reports expect a move to mini‑LED backlighting with HDR support, which would boost brightness and contrast versus today’s panel.
- The display is rumored to include an A19‑class processor, replacing the A13 to power camera, audio and other built‑in features.
- Sources disagree on the maximum refresh rate—90Hz or 120Hz—but concur it will exceed the current model’s 60Hz, with a recent China Energy Label Center entry (model A3350) reinforcing expectations of a new Apple monitor.
