Apple’s rumored 27-inch monitor, which is said to support the Sport Mini-LED technology, will not be out as soon as the previous chatter from Grapevine suggested.
MacRumors I saw a tweet from Ross Young, a well-known liqueur (and CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultant), which indicates that the 27-inch monitor has been pushed back considerably by Apple.
Apple leaks! The 27 “mini LED monitor has been delayed because of a lockdown in Quantum, Shanghai. Production is in the process of being moved to another location and has been delayed. It looks set to release in October.May 20, 2022
As you can see, the term is originally intended (probably WWDC, which is earlier this month) rather than launching in June, the display may not be pitched until October 2022.
Yang explained that the lockdown in Shanghai had caused delays because production was supposed to be conducted there (by Quanta), but Apple had been forced to move elsewhere. This is obviously not a trivial change, and so if it really is, we can certainly expect a few months to be added to the waiting time for this 27-inch screen.
Note that Apple’s MacBook Pro production is on the same boat, according to a recent report.
Analysis: Studio Display Pro is definitely an expensive proposition
Theoretically, this could be an Apple Studio Display Pro, a higher version of the new Studio Display, the main difference being a big one – of course the Mini-LED additions.
Rumors Mill (including Young) originally believed that a 27-inch iMac Pro was introverted, but there was obviously some confusion around it, and previous mentions of such iMacs were actually based on leaks related to this 27-inch mini-LED monitor. . However, some people on Twitter are still questioning whether it could be Apple’s all-in-one computer instead of just a display.
If it’s a Studio Display Pro, we can definitely expect it to be expensive. In the tweet above, Yang was asked by a commenter about a ballpark for a price tag, but Liquor only replied that it would be “expensive.”
Not surprisingly, though, the Apple Studio display is already an expensive offer, starting at $ 1,599 (£ 1,499 / AU $ 2,499). We can expect to add a hefty Apple Premium to any Pro version, including the Mini-LED, which probably doubles the price tag in almost three Grand.
