Don't tell Rene Ritchie this phrase.
He will start using it, just after and just before a Marvel movie reference.

If only there's no chin and white bezels, it would make some sense, otherwise big NOPE.
Because the core won't matter as long as they can do Auth, faceID etc.. smaller things. and the a13 reference chipset will keep prices down?
For sure it will have faceID thanks to its secure enclave of the SoC
2006 is calling, they want their meme back.
That’s actually pretty genius. Shut up, and take my money. 💰
Personally, I'd rather have a PCI-e slot in the computer for a graphics chip that I can use to drive any monitor at much lower cost, especially as displays have a much longer useful life than graphics chips.
But, I've got to admit, this is a new way of looking at computers, Apple is definitely thinking different here.

What? Is the next thing you are going to say is my disco ball is out of date???!!
Oh yes Apple should do that. I Hope it's 32 inches
Maybe it's a touch screen/computer running iOS/(Screen OS?). I don't see much benefit in a simple non-touch monitor having an A13 chip.
The processor could enable some ‘smart’ features: AirPlay, AppleTV+, …
keeping away the heat from the laptop...since the A13 can handle smaller tasks...and also they can act like a bridge to provide even more power. M1 gpu+A13 gpu that can deliver some more power
And also for biometrics like faceID , you need an SoC with secure enclave
And since the display will have its own SoC there will be no heat on the laptop side...we know that laptops connected to monitors that can get hot
(2019) 16" is HOT & NOISY with an external monitor! :(
I received a base 16" today and am disappointed because it get's as hot as my 2017 with an external 4K monitor. Is anybody else experiencing the same issue? I always work with external monitors and running on high resolution and this heating performance is upsetting. It's not cooler than the...

This is intriguing. Hopefully it's high refresh rate.
I wonder what the application of this would be.

keep your a13 chip and give me a display in the 2-3 k range please.
What if this is the Pro XDR replacement and apple is still working on cheaper displays.
I think apple is going all in on displays now and that building high and low end displays is their goal.
face ID, auth, general GPU management. more.
why not both? to have its own SoC it will be a very nice thing, and the future
A13 into an 4k/5k monitor cannot be more than 2-3k
right, it said that — i'm all for it. apple has dropped the ball on their displays some time ago and the xdr, as great as it is, is hardly a consumer product. i mean i'm happy for those who can justify dropping 6k on a display for their personal enjoyment, but i just can't convince myself that to myself. and if anyone damaged it i would have to hurt them badly.
i didn't mean it like that — i'm all for the one with the chip, but i really want an apple display that i can justify getting for myself.
Yup. There are things an A13 might do inside a display, but serving as an eGPU is not one of them. Literally everything that Apple make that could be plugged into this screen would already have a more powerful GPU, and the market for graphics decelerators is quite limited.
