Apple Studio Display 2 could be in the works, according to details recently shared by Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) CEO Ross Young. The Cupertino company is expected to launch a successor to the first-generation Studio Display monitor that debuted in 2022 with a 27-inch screen. Unlike the current model, the upcoming Studio Display is expected to feature a Mini-LED panel with improved brightness levels and a higher contrast ratio. Apple could launch the second-generation Studio Display by next year.

Apple Studio Display 2 Said to Deliver Two Major Improvements

In a subscriber-only post (via MacRumors) on X (formerly Twitter), Young states that Apple is developing a 27-inch Studio DIsplay with a Mini-LED panel, which is a significant upgrade over the 5K LED screen used on the first-generation model.

According to Young, Apple will use panels produced by LG Display for the Studio Display 2, while the Mini-LEDs will be sourced from the Taiwan-based Epistar. The most recent Apple device to be updated with a Mini-LED screen was the MacBook Pro.

In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman echoes Young's claim, stating that Apple's purported Studio Display 2 is codenamed J427. The monitor is expected to debut sometime in 2026, according to the journalist.

If these predictions are accurate, the upcoming Studio Display 2 would feature a much brighter panel than its predecessor. It could also enable support for localised dimming and an improved contrast ratio. However, these changes to the display could also result in a higher price for the second generation Studio Display.

Gurman also sheds some light on Apple's upcoming products, stating that a successor to the expensive Pro Display XDR ($5,000, or roughly Rs. 4.35 lakh) is not in the works. Instead, the company is said to be working on new Mac Studio and Mac Pro models, and could even launch a new iMac model with a larger display in the future.
