Apple discontinues the Pro Display XDR
Source: 9to5Mac
The Pro Display XDR has officially been discontinued. Apple’s high‑end external display was first introduced in 2019 alongside a new Mac Pro, but has now been replaced by the cheaper (but better in many ways) Studio Display XDR.
The Pro Display XDR sold for a whopping $5,999 in its standard configuration. The adjustable “Pro Stand” was sold separately for an additional $1,000. Until the first Studio Display launched in 2022, it was the only external display Apple made.
Today, Apple launched the Studio Display XDR, which uses a mini‑LED panel with more back‑lighting zones, offers a 120 Hz refresh rate, and includes built‑in speakers and a camera. The Studio Display XDR has a 27‑inch display, whereas the Pro Display XDR had a 32‑inch screen.
There’s also a new version of the basic Studio Display.

The Studio Display XDR sells for $3,299, which includes a tilt‑ and height‑adjustable stand.
For those keeping track at home, the Mac Pro is still available with the M2 Ultra chip for $6,999 … yes, the M2 Ultra chip that first launched in 2023.
