The regulatory filing references the model number A3350 and apparently reveals the new monitor “will be equipped with a high-performance LCD display.” There aren’t any other details about specifications and it’s not clear if the filling is referring to a new version of the Studio Display or the Pro Display XDR. Apple released the Studio Display in 2022 alongside the first Mac Studio. The Pro Display XDR, meanwhile, debuted in 2019 with the revamped Mac Pro. Neither product has seen an update since first being introduced, so Apple’s external display lineup is quite dated right now. In December, a rumor suggested that the new Studio Display will have three key changes: A19 chip ProMotion with a 120Hz refresh rate HDR support The current Studio Display features an A13 Bionic chip with a 60Hz display and no support for HDR.

This new model number appearing in a regulatory database could indicate it’s coming sooner rather than later.
