A new Apple Pro Display XDR is being rumored. I hope the price comes down, for the display and its accessories.

I remember watching the Apple WWDC Keynote in 2019, and there were some “boos” when the pricing for the display’s semi-optional Pro Stand was announced ($999 just for the stand). In my memory, I feel like the boos were louder during the live-streamed event than in the recorded version (the applause seems the same). John Ternus even pauses at the live audience’s reaction.

I have a Studio Display, which I love, but the camera quality and audio is a bit lacking. I use an Insta360 Link 2 instead of the built-in webcam.

A new Studio Display is also rumored, and hopefully the camera quality will be upgraded. A higher refresh rate would be a welcome addition too, especially for gaming.

What would also be nice, would be a lower-tier Apple display, designed for those with Mac minis and general computing needs. This would be like the 15-inch MacBook Air, filling a need (for quality displays – no more creaky plastic monitors), and also introducing more folks to Apple’s integration between software and hardware.
