Foldables?
That's a possible solution. But there are others. Like this:
 
this I not your typical "firmware" - it's the whole ios17 that's being tested on the ASD ...
The obvious things to do if you have (as seems the case) a full iPhone inside the ASD (ie iPhone level RAM and NAND) are to start giving it aTV functionality, including eg acting as a HomeKit hub, or as a HomePod style intercom.

But of course those are "nice to have", it's unclear if they make economic sense in terms of the amount of work versus the number of ASD's sold? Especially when you have to start worrying about UI issues like how you toggle between "act as a display" mode vs "Apple TV" or "HomePod" mode.

I'd be OK with that, but I'd rather it have multiple in ports (HDMI) so I can use it for both Mac and PC easily. If they had that, I would have bought one already and put it as my second monitor for my PC and would also double as my work monitor for my work laptop (Windows machine) when working and my Macbook Pro when not working.
 


Apple today released the fourth Studio Display 17 firmware, with the update coming almost three weeks after the release of the third beta. The fourth update coincides with the fourth developer beta of macOS Sonoma.

All Studio Display models are able to receive over-the-air firmware updates, but this firmware update is limited to Macs that are running the macOS Sonoma operating system at the current time. Studio Display owners with macOS Sonoma installed can go to System Settings > Software Update to install the firmware.

Apple has not provided details on what's included in the firmware update and no new features have been found by those running the betas. Release notes will likely be available when the software sees a public launch this fall alongside macOS Sonoma, but so far it does not seem like there are major feature additions in the software.

Does this firmware update fix the buzzing that comes from the top of the monitor?
