Apple's new 27-inch Studio Display is an almost bodyless iMac

Apple announced March 8th, $ 1599 packed with a processor, high-quality speakers, a microphone array, a high-quality camera, three USB-C ports, and a Thunderbolt 96W power supply. Announced a display (¥ 9800). Yes, of course, it also has a display.

So far, the company has a mysterious and turbulent history of forgetting a range of options when it comes to displays.Apple Cinema DisplayWhenThunderbolt DisplayAlthough both were announced, they were quickly pushed to the edge with a very slow update cycle, overwhelming specs, and exorbitant prices.AppleのPro Display XDRWas released a few years ago and had the ridiculous specs of 32-inch Retina 6K resolution and ultra-high contrast, but the standard glass version costs $ 4,999 (the price in Japan is 582,780 yen including tax) and is reflective. The nano-textured glass version that suppresses the price is a suspicious price of 5,999 dollars (695,780 yen).

The Apple Studio Display is for a completely different user, and while the $ 1599 price isn’t cheap, it’s doing something really important.Just announcedMac StudioIn combination with, the screen and computer can be separated. For companies that are enthusiastic about environmental issues, this is unfortunate. The iMacs I gave up because the processor was as slow as molasses in winter, even though the screen was still in perfect condition, were a source of endless frustration. Being able to upgrade just the screen, or just the brains of the workstation, while still in Apple’s ecosystem has long been awaited.

The new display is very impressive as far as the announcement is concerned. It is equipped with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and is compatible with the center frame. So you can chase around in the room as you roam with a keynote like Steve Jobs. This is the same camera that Apple has on the iPad. It has three built-in microphone arrays to achieve clearer sound quality than ever before, and you can also use filtering technology to reduce the amount of audio you don’t want to include. And it is equipped with a sound system with six speakers, which the company describes as the best speaker ever shipped. A chip is built into the screen, allowing the display to split the multi-channel surround sound and create a more immersive experience than connecting a set of stereo speakers. It also supports spatial audio for audio and music by Dolby Atmos.

The display has three USB-C ports that support 10Gps communication, and you can attach high-speed accessories such as hard drives and recording devices. It also has a 96W Thunderbolt port that allows you to charge all Apple laptops directly from the display.

And yes, the screen is also on. It is equipped with a 27-inch 5K retina display with a brightness of 600 nits and a wide color gamut. Its specs are suspiciously similar to those found on the current model of the iMac. The screen is an all-aluminum skeleton, and Nano-texture glass that suppresses reflection is also available as an option, as well as various stand and mount options such as VESA mount.
