'Apple Studio Display' With 7K Resolution Reportedly in Development

[MacRumors]

Apple is working on a new "Apple Studio Display" with a 7K resolution, according to 9to5Mac's Filipe Espósito, who cites sources familiar with the matter. The display is also expected to feature a dedicated Apple silicon chip.

The report claims it is unclear whether the display will be a replacement for the Pro Display XDR or a new addition to Apple's standalone display lineup. Additional details are still unknown, including the size of the display and a release timeframe.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman was first to report that Apple was working on at least one new external display, but he said that display would have a lower price with reduced brightness and contrast ratio. By the sounds of it, the new 7K model would be slotted above the Pro Display XDR in the lineup, so it is possible that Apple plans to offer displays at several price points as it did with its Cinema Display lineup in the 2000s.

Apple released the Pro Display XDR in December 2019 for $4,999, with an optional $999 stand. The 32-inch display features a 6K resolution with peak brightness of 1,600 nits for HDR content, 10-bit depth for 1.073 billion colors, and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio.

7K resolution is incredible!

I’m glad that Apple is getting back into making their own displays again

I hope Apple considers making a more affordable display priced at around $999

Even an Apple 4K display priced at $999-$1499 would be great to have as an external monitor to an iMac

 

[dantracht]

How many Ks do we need?

K, thanks.

 

[Ion-X]

So this will be at least $9999 then, brilliant!

 

[erikkfi]

Please also make displays for people who are not absurdly rich, Apple. Remember you used to do that?

 

[dlewis23]

Take my money! I'm ready. I want it.

Folks who have no need for it already crying about the 6k display. This'll make them weep even more and get on their soap box about how despite having no need for one they should be able to afford one. "The Bugatti should be the same price as the Civic!"

 

[jz0309]

7k? Why? 8k would make so much more sense…
And clearly a niche product at a super high price…
Need something affordable…

 

[Rudy69]

That's too bad, I need at least 8K otherwise i won't even consider it

 

[BrownyQ]

How about something for plebs like myself in the $1k price range?

That'd be swell...

 

[Dustman]

I wonder if this will mean the power of 7K but with zero performance hit to driving the pixels with a dedicated chip inside.

This is actual innovation, Apple.

 

[CC77]

Still holding out hope for another ~$999 display in the 27-30" range. Honestly the existing LG 5K monitor with Apple industrial design team doing the enclosure would be great.

But not 8k? How odd.

 

[turbineseaplane]

Users: “can we please just have a reasonably priced 5k 27” apple monitor?”

Apple (rumor): “we are working on a SEVEN K studio display!”

7k? Why? 8k would make so much more sense…

Yeah it doesn't make much sense. The 5k display made sense because it gives you some extra pixels to work with for 4k content.

But I think we're a long way off from 8k content anyway. I mean they didn't even broadcast the Super Bowl in 4k

Actually, wise one, people aren't complaining that the 6K monitor should be priced low. People are merely saying that they want an Apple monitor that normal people can afford. But thanks for posting your wisdom.

 

[alexandr]

can't wait, especially if they make a "budget" display too

 

[steve217]

Even an Apple 4K display priced at $999-$1499 would be great to have as an external monitor to an iMac

Or even a Mac Mini!

 

[Pezimak]

Well as you can buy 8K TVs now this isn’t that impressive, but it is impressive for its size if it’s say 40 to 50”, still it’ll be way too expensive for me.

 

[MacWorld78]

I rather to get 8k from Eizo monitor. Sorry Apple and I know your screen is too glossy I rather to have matt version.

 

[The Cappy]

Please also make displays for people who are not absurdly rich, Apple. Remember you used to do that?

Or, to my way of thinking, just make me a regular monitor like in the 5k iMac. I don't need Apple to blow my mind. I just want a nice (not astounding) monitor with Apple's design language to go with my MBP. Apple has got the same disease Pixar has: once upon a time, Pixar made movies to entertain; now they make movies to impress critics and win awards. And they're not fun any more.

Do people want an “Apple” monitor that normal people can afford? By that, I mean there’s a lot of vendors making monitors… the vast majority cheaper than Apple’s monitor. Are none of those suitable primarily because there’s no Apple logo on them?

 

[macos9rules]

I hope it comes with an optional $777 Apple Studio Stand!

 

[StupidOpinion]

bruh.....why not just go 8K like a normal person?

 

[macsplusmacs]

THIS IS THE DISPLAY I WAS BORN TO OWN.
