  "textContent": "Apple's press release and marketing materials for the new Studio Display and Studio Display XDR models do not mention which chips are inside the monitors, but _MacRumors_ has confirmed this information in the latest Studio Display firmware.\n\n\nThe firmware reveals that the second-generation Studio Display is equipped with an A19 chip, while the Studio Display XDR has an A19 Pro chip, according to code reviewed by _MacRumors_ contributor Aaron Perris. Rumors had mentioned either the A19 chip or the A19 Pro chip, and it turns out that the two chips are split across the two models.\n\nThe original Studio Display from 2022 is equipped with an A13 Bionic chip, which is something that Apple advertised. Apple said the chip enables features such as Center Stage camera framing, Spatial Audio, and \"Siri\" and \"Hey Siri\" voice activation for Siri. Apple introduced the A13 Bionic chip in the iPhone 11 series in 2019.\n\nIntroduced across the iPhone 17 and iPhone Air models last year, the A19 and A19 Pro chips are much newer. These chips likely help to drive the improved speakers in both new Studio Display models, and they likely enable the camera's Desk View feature, which can show your face and an overhead view of your desk at the same time.\n\nIn both new Studio Displays, Apple says the six-speaker sound system delivers 30% deeper bass compared to the previous generation.\n\nIt is unclear exactly why the Studio Display XDR has a higher-end A19 Pro chip, but it certainly tracks with this model having more powerful features, such as a 120Hz refresh rate, mini-LED backlighting, and increased brightness.\n\nWe will learn more about the new Studio Displays and the hardware inside of them through upcoming reviews and teardowns.\n\nBoth new models can be pre-ordered now and launch on Wednesday, March 11.\n\nRelated Roundup: Studio Display\n\nRelated Forum: Mac Accessories\n\n\nThis article, \"Apple's Two New Studio Display Models Feature Different A19 Chips\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
