Apple Currently Sold Out of $999 Pro Stand for Pro Display XDR [Updated]

[MacRumors]

The optional Pro Stand for Apple's high-end Pro Display XDR monitor is currently sold out on Apple's online store in the U.S., as reported by 9to5Mac's Zac Hall. It's unclear if or when the $999 stand will be in stock again, or if this hints at an upcoming refresh to the Pro Display XDR, which was released in December 2019.

The stand remains available on Apple's online store in some other countries, such as the U.K. and Canada, but it faces a 2-3 week shipping estimate or longer.

The Pro Display XDR itself also faces a lengthy shipping delay. In the U.S., Apple currently provides a late September delivery estimate.

There haven't been any credible rumors about a new Pro Display XDR launching imminently, but in December 2022, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple was working on multiple new monitors, including an updated Pro Display XDR. The nearly four-year-old monitor features a 32-inch screen with 6K resolution, and starts at $4,999 without the Pro Stand. For the next model, customers are hoping for a webcam, speakers, and a higher refresh rate.

In March 2022, Apple released a more affordable Studio Display with a 27-inch screen and 5K resolution, and it remains in stock on the company's online store.

Apple announced that it will be holding an event on Tuesday, September 12, but Mac-related announcements are more likely in October. At the September event, Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 15 series, new Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra models, and updated AirPods with a USB-C charging case.

Update: According to AppleInsider's Mike Wuerthele, the Pro Stand has been out of stock at least seven times since September 2022, including most of January, and half of February. Therefore, this appears to be another routine shortage, and is unlikely to be indicative of an imminent Pro Display XDR refresh.

Update: The Pro Stand is back in stock on Apple's online store in the U.S. as of September 1. Nothing to see here!

I would assume that the actual display frame and stand would be carried forward to a new panel, but then again, who knows…

Who the heck has the money for that? Did Apple manage to finally sell only one that they made?

 

[tripsync]

Add high refresh rate and I'll buy the display with the stand.

 

[macman01101]

Titanium stand incoming? 😂

 

[zapmymac]

How low can you go? See the photo for the answer! I’ve never seen a monitor riding a desktop like that before 🫣😳

Tim Cook probably ordered the only one they had in stock.

 

[DBZmusicboy01]

it should had never costed more than $99 to begin with 😠

 

[ChristianSelig]

I love that set up. So clean, you can almost make out the reflection of the handsome human behind it

 

[Darmok N Jalad]

Sorry, it was me. I was out of bookends.

 

[japanime]

No stand? No problem. Just attach some Mac Pro Wheels instead.

Probably or people buy them to show off in the office with $999 stands.

You know when I see the person with a $999 stand, I immediate tell the person sucks with money. Bad financial decision. Waste of money.

 

[dannyyankou]

They're going to replace it with a $2000 titanium one!!!

The man, the myth, the legend!

$999 for a monitor stand is obscene.

Ultra stand unveiled September 12

They shouldn’t have priced it so cheap, it was a steal. Scalpers bought them all, and are selling them on eBay for $2000 and a left kidney.

Hey, Tim Cook, while you're at it, why don't you also sell the power supply for the display separately for an additional extortionately high price?

 

[Quu]

I hope this is a sign of a refresh of the monitor itself. I'm really excited to have one with a much higher MiniLED FALD backlight count and potentially 120Hz promotion support.

 

[Shirasaki]

Hey, Tim Cook, while you're at it, why don't you also sell the power supply for the display separately for an additional extortionately high price?

Nah. Sell shell, panel, PCB, wire and power supply separately, with a subscription monitorOS costing $129.99/mo for best results and professional calibration.

I’ve got the same mouse! Never seen anyone else have it before. People look at it funny, but it’s super comfortable.

Pretty strong indicators here of an imminent refresh. No other reason this would be sold out or facing these extended shipping times; it's far from a new or high-volume product, so they'd have no issue stocking any of this stuff normally. Based on this I predict a surprise release of a new XDR and stand in the upcoming event.

It's about time too, the display is nearly 4 years old. For what it costs, it desperately needs and deserves ProMotion support at minimum.

Pretty sure Tim Cook didn't read MacRumours...

On serious note I love my Nano Texture Studio Display 5k. It's not cheap at 1500 but it has built-in stand at least.

The price notwithstanding, that's a very nice stand btw. Precision tilting and magnetic connector are two of my most favorite features of this stand.

I mean, what other choice does one have if they want the XDR display but don’t plan on using the VESA mount?
