What They Say
Bloomberg’s Apple stalker, Mark Gurman, has the Apple stans speculating about multiple standalone external Mac displays in 2023. All we can be certain of is that one is an updated version of the Pro Display XDR, which will probably make a few wallets shrink in pain.
Apple is working on multiple new external monitors as well, including an update to the Pro Display XDR that was launched alongside the Intel Mac Pro in 2019. It is possible, however, that the company’s next high-end display will ship after the Mac Pro, as the computer is further along in development than the monitor.
Those new monitors — like the Studio Display launched with the Mac Studio — will include Apple silicon. That helps the screens rely less on resources from the attached computer.
What We Think
Apple’s been suffering from supply chain issues and has faced its own production delays and changes. Not that you would notice it much considering how much money the company continues to make. This is probably closer to a catch-up for the company as it rolls out updates to its professional Macs and transitions to new M2 Ultra chipsets. One for the truly dedicated Apple lovers.
