Apple Rumored to Launch 27-Inch Mini-LED Display in Q1 2023

[MacRumors]

Apple is planning to launch an external monitor with a 27-inch mini-LED display in the first quarter of 2023, according to Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) analyst Ross Young.

In a tweet shared with super followers, Young said that Apple had "pushed" the debut of the monitor to Q1 2023. Young is presumably talking about the first calendar quarter of 2023, aka the months from January to March.

Young was a guest on the MacRumors podcast in July where he said that Apple was planning to launch the mini-LED display sometime in early 2023. Young initially expected Apple to introduce the display in June at WWDC, but he said in May that the launch had to be delayed until October because of design delays. Apple is also unable to meet the October goal, and Young believes the company is now aiming for 2023.

Throughout 2022, Apple has been dealing with supply constraints across products that include Macs and its displays, which may be the reason for the delay.

Apple's upcoming display is said to feature mini-LED technology along with ProMotion support, allowing for up to a 120Hz refresh rate. The device is not expected to be a direct replacement for the Pro Display XDR, which is a larger, 6K display. It will instead be similar to the Apple Studio Display, which is a 27-inch monitor.

With ProMotion support and mini-LED technology, the rumored 27-inch display is expected to be more expensive than the Studio Display, which is priced starting at $1,599.

Its just a shame they are so dang expensive. I'm typing this on my Thunderbolt Display and it was $999 in Canada. Those were the days!

 

[randolorian]

Base unit: $2999
With power cable: $3299

give me thinner bezels, 5k and 120hz for ≤3k and i'll buy it

What else would "Q1 2023" refer to exactly? Apple's Fiscal Year?

If true, this will give everyone who said they wouldn't buy a Studio Display because of the refresh rate an opportunity to say they won't buy this display, because of the price.

Give me more than one input and I'll consider buying it.

Very nice! I like it. Hopefully, it comes in different colors. Mid-night or Space Black?

 

[symphony]

Hopefully supports my Mac Studio…

If Apple is going to a new display then that might explain why they've delayed the introduction of the larger display iMac, since they'll both be using the new panels.

Not really. This will likely cost around 2 times as much. I'm perfectly happy with my Studio Display

27 is way too small to get work done, try having 2 windows side to side with a descent sized font, it should be 30 at the very least. 32 would be best. That said, you can get a Cinema display 30 for less money and better quality.

 

[mcfrazieriv]

Insanely overpriced.

 

[DEXTERITY]

Thought it said 27” imac..wishful thinking..ugh

 

[smulji]

That means the Apple Silicon Mac Pro should be arriving soon.

Beige!! I'm mostly joking, but I actually picked up a beige rotary phone from the 80s, and I kind of love it. Also deep purple is pretty great. I got my iPhone in that color the other day

I get work done on 27

 

[Ronal]

Lol current studio display shouldn’t cost this much, now I’m regretting it fml but paying 3k for display is insane can’t justify that

 

[spcopsmac21]

Give me more than one input and I'll consider buying it.

In likely Apple fashion they will let a third party make a $429 adapter that provides this. Instead of just making the display useful.

 

[siddavis]

Why not just the replacement for current Studio Display?

Do not forget the stand and the special nanocoating. Last but not least pray that the Promotion does not break and needs a 'firmware upgrade' to function as intended. Just like the Studio Display webcam.

 

[ProfessionalFan]

Why not just the replacement for current Studio Display?

Probably because it makes more sense to have both. There will be a large price difference between them.

I get a lot of my work (actually all of it) done on my 16 inch MacBook Pro screen. Not sure why one should need a 30 inch display to “get work done” tbh.

Yup, to go along with your space black 16" mbp))))
