In May, the pandemic that had blocked Shanghai and its factories, now unspecified problems. In fact, however, the adventure of the Pro version of the Studio Display does not seem to be particularly lucky, because for one reason or another Apple would be forced to continually postpone the project of the premium monitor from 27 inches with mini LED technology.
Several months ago analyst Ross Young warned observers and enthusiasts that Studio Display Pro would not arrive in June, contrary to Apple’s initial intentions, but in October. Now that we are here in October, it is again the same analyst who takes a virtual microphone to announce to his people superfollower a new delay. The debut would be postponed to early 2023, to the first quarter of next year.
“I heard that the launch of Apple’s mini LED monitor has been postponed to Q1 ’23 “, he wrote without specifying either the reason or the source. However Young is one of the most trusted voices in terms of displays – he is also the CEO of DSCC, Display Supply Chain Consultants – so its reading is to be taken into consideration. In May he told that because of the strategy zero Covid of China which often forced the factories to sudden closures, the company delegated by Apple for the realization of the display, Quanta Computer, decided to move production elsewhere, so the delay was due to the adaptation of the production chain.
Rumors circulated in the past have described Studio Display Pro as the successor to Pro Display XDR, with respect to which it would have twice the number of zones and seven times the number of LEDs. The mini LED backlight would allow the introduction of the technology ProMotion with its variable refresh rate up to 120 Hz.
