Apple Refreshes Its Display Lineup
Apple has officially announced two major updates to its monitor lineup:
- The Studio Display (2026) has been refreshed with faster Thunderbolt 5 connectivity, improved camera and speaker performance, and enhanced internal processing – while keeping its beloved 27-inch 5K panel and core features.
- The all-new Studio Display XDR takes things further with a mini-LED panel, XDR HDR support up to 2,000 nits, 120 Hz Adaptive Sync, and broader colour support – making it Apple’s most advanced Mac display yet.
Both are available to pre-order now, with the updated Studio Display starting at $1,599 and the Studio Display XDR at $3,299. These releases give Mac users a choice between the classic 5K experience and a more pro-grade HDR/refresh-rate-focused upgrade.
