Apple might offer Studio Display in high‑end and low‑end models

• Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has long indicated that Apple has not one, but two new Mac displays in active development. Both are expected to launch soon.
• Features rumored for at least one new Studio Display are 120 Hz ProMotion support, HDR, and an A19 chip.
• Leaked Apple code suggests that one of the two displays might offer higher‑end features. Based on this code, 9to5Mac’s Jeff Benjamin recently noted that “One of the displays will feature a larger module, indicating larger, more powerful speakers and, thus, a larger display.”
• Today at Macworld, Filipe Espósito added that the higher‑end display “supports more I/O controllers,” which indicates it could offer more advanced ports.

Potential high‑end upgrades

• More powerful speakers
• Upgraded I/O
• Possibly a larger screen

Offering a second size option makes a lot of sense, but it’s also possible Apple plans to offer two displays with differing features but the same 27‑inch screen size. That could perhaps explain the rumor of a 90 Hz Studio Display model—maybe the low‑end model only supports 90 Hz, while the high‑end “Pro” option goes to 120 Hz.

With Apple product launches coming next week, here’s hoping we won’t have to wait long to find out.

Would you prefer Apple offer two different sizes of Studio Display, or just differentiate via internal specs and pricing? Let us know in the comments.
