Apple is working on a new version of the Studio Display. According to industry insiders, the Studio Display 2 could be released in late 2025 or early 2026. It is expected to feature several significant improvements, including a mini-LED backlight. This technology could provide higher brightness and better contrast. But that's not the only innovation being discussed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current Studio Display was introduced alongside the Mac Studio in 2022. There hasn't been a new version since then, but Apple now appears to be planning a revised version. Various leaks and analyst reports indicate that the display technology, in particular, could be improved. In addition to mini-LED technology, a possible increase in the refresh rate is also being discussed. Here's what's known so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important innovations of the Studio Display 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mini-LED for better brightness and contrast<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

According to Ross Young, a well-known display analyst, the Studio Display 2 will still be 27 inches in size but will feature a mini-LED backlight. The biggest advantage of this technology is the improved brightness and higher contrast ratio compared to the current model, which still uses traditional LED technology. Mini-LEDs enable local dimming, resulting in deeper blacks and more vibrant colors. This change could elevate the Studio Display 2 to the level of the Pro Display XDR, which also uses mini-LED. It's unclear, however, whether Apple will also improve HDR capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will there be a higher refresh rate?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Young didn't provide any information about the refresh rate of the new display, another source has provided information on this. An anonymous listener of the Relay FM podcast "Upgrade" claimed in November 2024 that Apple was testing 90 Hz technology for the next Studio Display. This would be a significant improvement over the current 60 Hz, but not yet a full 120 Hz ProMotion, as offered by some MacBook Pro models or the iPad Pro. A higher refresh rate ensures smoother movement on the screen, which is especially noticeable when scrolling and in animations. Whether Apple will actually opt for 90 Hz remains unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
