Hot take: the name Mac Studio and the fact that it “runs iOS” implies to me that this is a multitouch display with support for Apple Pencil. Otherwise, the naming is a bit weird and I don’t know why Gurman would say it runs iOS if he only means it includes an A-series SOC (the HomePod and Apple TV’s also have A-Series SOC and very obviously do not run iOS).
Came here to ask this exact question. I do graphic design and a little photo/video editing. My intel iMac has had a few issues so I was looking to upgrade to the iMac Pro if/when it comes out but if this is a better upgrade I may go with it instead. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see how things play out.
If the Studio is real and priced correctly I‘ll be getting it. Probably only the Pro or low end Max though.
No idea why the monitor needs to run iOS though?

Maybe people like me, working from home now as well as the office, so I have a nice monitor and desk etc. I could squeeze an iMac 24” on the desk, just, but it wouldn’t be the best, but this machine with more power would be good and I use the same monitor.
Yeah, awesome point! I never could quite understand the market for the iMac Pro. People in that segment would mostly want at least dual monitors, and would be endlessly frustrated at not being able to get a matching 2nd monitor. Making it headless in the first place is obvious, and with the Mini not cutting it for power, and the Mac Pro much more expensive, the Studio is finally the answer.
Apple being Apple, I wouldn’t be surprised if this monitor was only compatible the Mac Studio.
I hope not, but there’s always a WTF moment with Apple. ?

Half joking but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Mac Studio height renders were based on inches when it was supposed to be in centimeters!
The counterweighted Apple Studio Display of the late 1990s had one. Other than the original price ($2500) and the general quality of LCDs at the time, they were cool. I'd be happy to have one today, except preferably for a little less.
For iPad users who don’t care about this monitor running iOS, it would be the biggest chance to get 16:9/16:10 external monitor support for iPads now that the system will be capable of using this resolution
So.... Monitor that has iOS with Universal Control...I can them extend my MacBook Pro screen on to the 27" Studio Display! That's smart. Not allowing any other laptops to connect to it, very Apple. Only way is Universal Control.
That is semantic hocus locus. The equal signs basically connotes that it is equating with iOS No one said ” running iOS = T2 “ ( where T2 was largely a tweaked A series . ) or “ running iOS = AppleTV “ or “ running iOS = HomePod” . If it isn’t running the iOS system , then iOS isn’t really an indicator .
Doubtful the actual display controller. Probably more akin to the touch bar in MBP and some Apple proprietary , “magic” that have been applied to this device that will raise the price $100-300 when there is a much simpler solution possible ( like actual buttons and industry standard ports ).
Based on my experience with a plain old M1 iMac, I suspect my needs aren't great enough to take advantage of a Mac Studio. But (assuming this rumor bears out) it's a great sign if Apple is getting back into higher spec standalong Macs and actually affordable monitors.
A-series chip in the monitor.. could that be used for Face ID?
That studio is gonna be mine, but a 27 inch monitor is so last decade... give us a 38 inch wide screen
A user-configurable stack of SSDs, I hope. Plus cookies.
So is this going to be a smart monitor (functioning like a smart TV) or is the A chip going to take some of the pressure off the GPU in the computer?
Regarding the A-Series chip, I mean it would be pretty cool if the monitor was smart enough to support AirPlay, and ideally even just Safari.
I love my ProDisplay, but I'd buy a few of these 27" monitors for the office and other rooms. Looking forward to tomorrow!
