"textContent": "Apple reportedly plans to release a new Studio Display in the first half of 2026, and there have been plenty of rumors about the monitor lately.\n\n\nBelow, we recap the latest Studio Display 2 rumors:\n\n * In his _Power On_ newsletter on Sunday, _Bloomberg_ 's Mark Gurman said he was told the new Studio Display \"looks quite similar to the current one,\" so that seemingly rules out any major design changes.\n\n\n * It has twice been rumored that the Studio Display 2's maximum refresh rate will be 90Hz, instead of 120Hz. The current model is 60Hz.\n\n\n * Last month, an unreleased Apple monitor (model A3350) surfaced in a Chinese regulatory database, and it is likely the Studio Display 2.\n\n\n * Previously rumored features include a 27-inch screen with mini-LED backlighting, HDR support, and an A19 chip or an A19 Pro chip.\n\nThe current Studio Display launched in March 2022, alongside the first Mac Studio. It has a 27-inch LCD screen with 5K resolution, a 60Hz refresh rate, up to 600 nits brightness, a built-in camera and speakers, one Thunderbolt 3 port, and a trio of USB-C ports. In the U.S., pricing starts at $1,599.\n\nIf the next Studio Display receives mini-LED backlighting and HDR support, its maximum brightness and contrast ratio would be higher than the current model. And a newer A19 or A19 Pro chip — up from the A13 Bionic currently — should contribute to performance improvements, camera-related enhancements, and more.\n\nBased on the rumored first half of 2026 timeframe, Apple should unveil the Studio Display 2 at any point between now and the end of June.\n\nRelated Roundups: Apple Pro Display XDR, Apple Studio Display\n\nRelated Forum: Mac Accessories\n\n\nThis article, \"Studio Display 2: The Latest Rumors About Apple's Next Monitor\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
