At Apple's spring conference a few days ago, the Studio Display display priced at 11499 yuan was eye-catching. Not only is the 27-inch narrow bezel design, which offers 5K resolution, but there is also the embedded A13 chip, which integrates with a range of built-in hardware and software. But unfortunately, the Mini-LED panel update that many netizens are looking forward to will not appear in 2022.
Compared with Apple's previous Pro Display XDR display, this Studio Display display can be described as much cheaper, so some users who pursue the ultimate display characteristics began to look forward to the iteration of the Mini-LED panel in the second half of this year. However, Guo Mingxi, an analyst at Tianfeng International who has been good at predicting Apple's major decisions, broke the news that Apple did not have a new product with a Mini-LED screen this year.
For Apple Studio Display, I want to say more about the embedded A13 chip. Some people may not understand why a chip is installed in a monitor. First of all, don't underestimate this chip A13 is applied to the iPhone 11 series, iPhone SE2, iPad 2021, so it is not a low-end product. Then, Apple's purpose of joining this chip is simple, that is, to make the user's image, audio-visual, and interactive experience better. 1. Realize the video character centering function, which can automatically place it in the middle of the screen when the user moves, and enhance the interactivity of video calls. 2. Studio Display is also equipped with a total of 6 speakers, which will support spatial audio functions when playing video or music that supports Dolby Atmos, allowing users to experience immersive viewing experience. 3. Wake up Siri voice assistant function.
Of course, Apple Studio Display has been officially confirmed to support connecting to a PC, but compared with connecting to a Mac, the functions mentioned in the above paragraph cannot be experienced because they also require macOS support.
It is undeniable that Apple's support for the general trend of Mini-LED panels will not change, but after the problem of time and cost is solved, new products based on Mini-LED panels will be launched.
