Pro Display XDR 2: Expected Features and Release

Pro Display XDR 2: What to Expect

Apple's Pro Display XDR, launched in 2019, is due for an upgrade. While concrete details are scarce, rumors suggest several exciting improvements.

Key Expected Features

• Apple Silicon Chip: Like the Studio Display, the Pro Display XDR 2 is rumored to include an Apple Silicon chip, potentially enabling features like Center Stage and spatial audio, and reducing reliance on the connected computer's resources. This could also allow for a built-in camera and speakers.
• Quantum-Dot Display: Analyst Ross Young suggests the next-generation Pro Display XDR will incorporate quantum-dot film technology, similar to the M4 MacBook Pro. It's unclear if this implies a shift to mini-LED from the current high-end IPS panel.
• Other Potential Enhancements: A 7K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate are possibilities, though unconfirmed. A separate rumor suggests Apple is working on a 27-inch miniLED display for 2025, but this is likely a different product. Learn more about other Apple display rumors.

Release Date

The Pro Display XDR 2 is anticipated to launch in late 2025 or early 2026, according to display analyst Ross Young. See how this compares to other tech release timelines.
