Apple Working on New 27-Inch Mini-LED Studio Display

Apple is working on a 27-inch mini-LED display that could come as soon as late 2025, display analyst Ross Young said today. The display could be a new version of the Studio Display that Apple first introduced in 2022. The current version of the Studio Display uses a 5K LED panel, so a mini-LED version would be a significant update.

Young says that the display will use mini-LEDs from Epistar, while LG Display will supply the panels.

Back in 2023, Young claimed that Apple had been working on a Studio Display Pro with ProMotion technology, but Apple allegedly canceled the project. Young at the time said that Apple wasn't working on another 27-inch display, but Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has maintained that Apple plans to launch some kind of display in 2025.

Apple already uses mini-LED technology for the MacBook Pro. Compared to LED, mini-LED displays feature superior brightness, contrast, and color accuracy. The ‌MacBook Pro‌ display, for example, uses more than 10,000 mini-LEDs for deeper blacks, more detail in shadows, and improved highlights.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has confirmed the rumor of Apple's work on a 27-inch mini-LED display, and he believes that it will be coming in 2026.

If it has a better display in the same design with a better than potato webcam, then it will be awesome! Also a removable power cable would be nice too.

Slap an M5 in it and call it "iMac".

Seriously, will be interested to see how it specs out.

Now that TB5 is out and supported on newer Macs, I don’t see why a promotion 5K display wouldn’t be possible.
