Apple Working on Mystery New Display

Apple is rumored to be planning a second-generation Studio Display with mini-LED backlighting for release later this year, or early next year. That monitor is codenamed J427 within Apple, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

In his Power On newsletter today, Gurman said that Apple seemingly has even bigger plans in regards to external displays.

Specifically, he said that Apple is working on an additional monitor, codenamed J527.

However, he is not sure what this additional monitor will end up being, so it is a mystery for now. He speculated that Apple could be developing two different second-generation Studio Display models, and will eventually choose which one to launch. Alternatively, he guessed that the J527 model could be a second-generation Pro Display XDR.

The current Pro Display XDR launched in 2019, and the Studio Display followed in 2022.

Built from the ground up for Apple Intelligence. The best monitor we’ve ever created, light years ahead of any monitor ever made. Right? Riiiiight.

No one cares about the backlighting, or whether its miniled, qled, oled or ballsackLED. Fix the freaking refresh rate. No one with an IQ over 10 is buying a 60hz monitor in 2026.
I care WAY more about the better contrast miniLED would bring than going from 60 -> 120hz

I won’t be buying a new studio display until the screen size increases.

>27”, promotion 120hz, at least mini-LED

need all three of those conditions. The panel in the studio display is nearing ten years old. It’s time.

27 is too small now and Apple prices are ludicrous.
