The Pro Display XDR has been officially phased out. Apple’s premium external display debuted in 2019 alongside a fresh Mac Pro, but has now been succeeded by the more affordable (yet superior in various aspects) Studio Display XDR.
The Pro Display XDR retailed for a staggering $5,999 in its default configuration. The adjustable “Pro Stand” was available separately for an extra $1,000. Prior to the launch of the first Studio Display in 2022, it was the sole external display produced by Apple.
Recently, Apple introduced the Studio Display XDR, featuring a mini-LED panel with increased backlighting zones, a 120Hz refresh rate, and additional enhancements. Unlike the Pro Display XDR, the new Studio Display XDR is equipped with integrated speakers and a camera. However, the Studio Display XDR comes with a 27-inch display, while the Pro Display XDR had a 32-inch screen.
Additionally, there’s a new iteration of the standard Studio Display.
The Studio Display XDR is priced at $3,299, which includes a stand that allows for tilt and height adjustments.
For those monitoring from home, the Mac Pro remains available with the M2 Ultra chip for $6,999 … indeed, the M2 Ultra chip that was first released in 2023.
