Appleis reportedly developing “multiple new externalmonitors”, which may include an update to thePro Display XDR.
The Pro Display XDR is a 32-inch flat-panel computer monitor, launched in 2019, alongside the latest iteration of theMac Pro.
The high-end monitor, which boasted a 6K resolution, certainly doesn’t come cheap, at a starting cost of $4,999, with the “Pro Stand” to hold it up coming in at $999 alone.
What will consumers get?
The new monitors will include Apple Silicon, according to sources reported byBloomberg, adding that the new pieces of hardware will rely less on the resources of the machine running it than previous models.
ThePro Display XDRcould also reportedly be released after the upcoming new Mac Pro, as the monitor is running behind it in the development cycle.
However, no more specific information about when the new monitor might land was revealed, nor were any additional technical details.
We could also be seeing a sequel toApple’s Studio Display monitor.
