Apple’s alleged 27-inch external display with mini-LED backlighting may no longer be released in the first quarter of 2023, as confirmed in these hours by the reliable Ross Young.
Young a declared that he had seen no signal from Apple’s suppliers as they began mass production of a 27-inch mini-LED external monitor.
It looks like the display has been delayed multiple times as Young originally planned a June 2020 launch and then talked about Q3 2023. Today the analyst didn’t provide a supposed new date for the monitor. Apple planned.
Young has previously said the screen will support ProMotion, allowing for a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Given the claimed 27-inch size, it’s possible the screen is a next-gen version of the Studio Display, but it could also be a new model positioned between the Studio Display and the high-end Pro Display XDR. The current Studio Display offers 5K resolution without ProMotion.
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.
