I think you guys meant Studio Display 27 not 17.

This confused me for a moment. I thought there were some new displays released that I didn’t notice before.
They meant the firmware version 17.0, in the Apple Studio Display 27"

Indeed they did.

That's a LOT of firmware versions! I thought the 17 had to be a typo.
It’s version 17.0 because it’s based on iOS 17, it’s not actually the 17th firmware released for the Studio Display
