Yes, that has been my understanding. I thought we had to wait until the new thunderbolt generation. Either that or the new screens are actually got iMacs.
Got a tip for us?

Apple's Next External Display: Everything We Know About Key Features and Launch Date

Apple already has two outstanding displays.
Don't really see a need for another as there's already a lot of well-priced commodity displays out there that will work fine for most people who aren't into photography or some other creative endeavor.
Except for laser printers, Wifi routers, etc. (which they got out of long ago), Apple usually doesn't compete on the commodity end of tech.

Unfortunately I think Apple doesn't ship enough monitors for them to justify offering different colours.
32 inch! 6K or 7K resolution, which ever is needed for retina.
27 5K is ok but only as a second size option.

"The 27-inch display size has been a preferred option for Apple for many years"
Only as in "when compared to the 21.5-in everyone said they preferred 27-inch."
C'mon Apple, the 27-in iMac came out in 2009, can you really do no better thirteen years later? I want either a 32-in iMac or dual affordable 27-in displays. The vast majority of your customer base use these displays for Internet browsers, Office products, and the like. We are not all into top-end video processing.

For those expecting Apple to lower the price of a new monitor, I have some great oceanfront property for sale in Arizona.
But but if we don’t make it complicated and over engineered we can’t have another line item to bill parts for and make cheaper.
Also let’s have 5 meetings to discuss the shade of black and the hours billed can be passed to the customer.

Either that or this new display causes Apple to reduce the price of the Studio Display.
I think ~27" is pretty much the suite spot for most people. I know it is for me. Anything larger (like 32") and I end up having to physically push the display back as I feel I'm moving my head/eyes around too much. So then I have to change the resolution so I can see it better in which point it basically is the same as having a 27" display.
I just want basic displays like the ‘Cinema’ ones. That 24” model was beautiful.
The way to avoid disappointment is to lower your expectations...
Crap, 27" is not going to cut it. When I looked at the studio display in person it was even smaller than I had expected. I'm really hoping for a 30-32" display that costs something around 3-4k... Eh...
Simply issuing a more expensive display won't cut it, it needs to be paired with whatever Mac Pro's successor is. They also need something lower cost that can be paired with a updated Mac mini that will eventually turn up this year.
Yup, still using the 30" model. Hoping to replace it with something similar and not having to pay 7k for it.
Unlike every other display monitor maker for the last 20 years, Apple is still uncapable of breaking the 30" mark.
Pathetic.
Most valuable company in the world.

I agree.
I'm still using my old and faithful HP LP3065c it's 30" and the resolution is 2560x1600.
Never had a dead pixel or any problems of any kind.
Use it every day all day and the resolution is perfect for reading and seeing images easily.
No pixel peeping necessary.
Just a basic monitor that works.
First of all "Everything We Know" is nothing. This is 100% speculation. If you strike all the would, could, likely, rumored and expected expressions, there's nothing left.
And secondly, last time those supply chain observers mistook the Studio Display for a new iMac, because of its iMac-like internal setup. How do we know, Apple is launching new monitors this time around, when those monitors with Apple Silicon inside still look like new iMacs?

Simply use two Thunderbolt connections, if one connection isn't enough. That's what they did when they built the first 5K iMac in 2014.
It's actually 80Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth, but it also supports a special mode of up to 120Gbps unidirectional bandwidth (and 40Gbps in the opposite direction). That could even enable daisy-chaining.
Of course, this would imply that Apple must release the next generation of MacBook Pro's/Studio/Etc w/ USB4v2, and that anything that is currently out today would not be capable of utilizing the monitor to its fullest.
Modern Apple would never do that for an external display. They'd resort to using DSC (like they do with the XDR).
If I can magically duplicate my M1 MacBook Air panel with its webcam and proportionally turn it into a display that’s around 32”, that’d be great, don’t need 5k/6k … I can do with 2k to 4K fine at the moment … I just want to make sure it’s under $1200 taxes included + Apple Care … everything would be under $1500, taxes included.
