Apple's Rumored 27-Inch Display With Mini-LEDs Delayed Yet Again

[MacRumors]

Apple's rumored 27-inch external display with mini-LED backlighting is no longer expected to launch in the first quarter of 2023, according to display industry analyst Ross Young, who has a very good track record with rumors about future Apple products.

Young today informed MacRumors that he has not seen any signs of the display entering mass production, suggesting that a launch is not imminent. It appears that the display has been pushed back several times, as Young initially expected it to launch around June 2022, and then in October, and most recently in the first quarter of 2023. He has not provided an updated timeframe for when the display might be released.

Young previously said the display will support ProMotion, allowing for up to a 120Hz refresh rate. Given the rumored 27-inch size, it's possible the display will be a next-generation version of the Studio Display, but it could also be a new model positioned between the Studio Display and the higher-end Pro Display XDR. The current Studio Display features a 5K resolution without ProMotion and is priced starting at $1,599.

Apple released the Pro Display XDR alongside a new Mac Pro in December 2019, while the Studio Display launched in March 2022 alongside the Mac Studio.

Young is the CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC). In the past, he accurately revealed that iPhone 13 Pro and high-end MacBook Pro models would feature ProMotion, that the sixth-generation iPad mini would be equipped with an 8.3-inch display, that the latest MacBook Air would have a slightly larger 13.6-inch display, and more.

This should go over really well with those that forked over cash for the Studio Display last year...

 

[temende]

I do wonder what'll happen to the Pro Display XDR if they don't release another display in the next couple of years. Will they discontinue it or just continue to sell a display from late 2019 for original price in 2024?

I'm not surprised. Plenty of Studio displays in stock at the moment.
It would be nice if Apple can surprise us with an iMac this quarter then. Perfect timing! It needs to come with an M2 Chip now.

120hz miniLED and all the other features of the studio display, at 2499 and its an instabuy for me to replacr aging dell p2415q

 

[macsplusmacs]

ahhhhhhh of course.....

 

[MrENGLISH]

One thing is for sure…
They will launch exactly 15 days after I finally give up waiting and buy one of the current models.

This display seems Ross Young’s AirPower

The Thunderbolt Display was sold well past its expiration date, so it wouldn't be the first time.

There have been rumors of a 32" or 36" 7K model in development in conjunction with LG.

 

[MacBird]

I'm not sure this bodes well for a potential 27'' iMac.

 

[satchmo]

Are Mac users clamouring for another even more expensive display?

Unless that display is meant for a 27" iMac, I think many simply would prefer Apple to lower the price of the current one.

 

[DeLaSoul]

Maybe it will be cordless with a battery but you have flip it over to charge, like the mouse

So it happens in April then or WWDC.

These COVID-era delays are the gift that keeps on giving for incorrect rumormongers, huh?

 

[FelixDerKater]

It is unfortunate that there isn't an Apple monitor that is reasonably priced to pair with a Mac Mini.

 

[bjjp2]

Make a display that I can easily plug a PC into if necessary and I'll be first on line.

 

[vegetassj4]

Dammit Apple, I need an upgade. My current display can barely refresh fast enough to play the latest good Apple game
.

 

[lJoSquaredl]

I was gonna connect my MBA to a killer monitor but since I can't really find anything around 27" that competes with the MBPs yet I'll just get a 16" MBP and drop it on a stand until something decent comes out. Should be some more better options in a year or two.

That and TigerDirect stock levels.

 

[tstafford]

Bummer. I like the ASD but the MBP14 screen is so much better. Was hoping for a $2500 27" that would rival the MBP.

 

[Apple Knowledge Navigator]

No way this is the new Studio Display.
TC’s kind but not that kind.

 

[BigJohno]

It sounds like they wanted to release a pro-motion display in this chassis last year but they ran into production issues. Doesn't make sense to just put a new exterior on the LG 5k and call it good. When they do put a 120hz display in there I will definitely be buying one. Color is important to me for work but not enough to justify $5k on the xdr. 5k is plenty res for me but 120hz at 5k would be amazing!

 

[jakeowens]

And release a new low cost version of the current studio display that has no smarts, speakers, webcams or ports… just a simple display for those who dont need anything but a beautiful device without the extras

I still have and am using 4 of them. More than adequate for everyone except gamers. Still nice and bright too.
