Apple is reportedly preparing to release a new version of the Studio Display, with a launch expected in the first half of 2026,,. Observations of dwindling inventory and slipping shipping dates for the current model suggest that a product update is imminent. A potential successor, identified by the model number A3350, was recently spotted in a Chinese regulatory database,.One of the most discussed upgrades for the "Studio Display 2" is an increase in the maximum refresh rate. While the current display operates at 60Hz, rumors suggest the new model will feature either a 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate,,. Leaks from internal builds of iOS 26 indicate that Apple may specifically choose a 90Hz limit. Although this is unusual for Apple, which typically uses 60Hz or 120Hz ProMotion, the 90Hz target might be intended to conserve bandwidth for other peripherals connected via Thunderbolt 5,.In addition to the smoother refresh rate, the upcoming monitor is expected to include several significant hardware improvements:• An A19 or A19 Pro chip to power its internal systems,.• Mini-LED backlighting, which would offer better contrast and brightness.• Support for HDR (High Dynamic Range), a feature currently missing from the standard Studio Display,.While some early reports mentioned a potential 120Hz refresh rate, the 90Hz rumor has gained traction as a way to provide a smoother visual experience for scrolling and video without fully saturating the display's connection bandwidth,. This refresh aims to modernize Apple’s mainstream professional monitor to better match the high-refresh-rate capabilities of the current iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro lineups. Hosted on Acast.
