- More details of the Apple Studio Display 2 have leaked
- 32-inch and 27-inch models could be incoming
- Apple has several product launches lined up for next week
We have more rumored details around possible successors to the Apple Studio Display, and it would seem that there are two models on the way, potentially offering different sizes and specs to tempt discerning monitor buyers.
The new information comes from Macworld (via MacRumors), and is based on "internal Apple files". There are two models referred to in these files, with the codes J427 and J527, and that suggests two different Studio Display 2 variations are incoming.
We might be about to see both a 32-inch and a 27-inch Apple Studio Display 2, according to the report, with the larger model offering a superior sound system and an improved port selection, as well as the extra screen space.
Both models are apparently set to get ProMotion support for refresh rates up to 120 Hz, while HDR support on both also looks likely. At least one Thunderbolt 5 port, supporting a 5K resolution at 120 Hz, has been mentioned.
A launch next week?
In terms of the design, we're not expecting any changes, and no aesthetic tweaks are mentioned in this report. The current Apple Studio Display offers a 27-inch screen and is up to 58.3 cm (23 inches) tall, depending on the stand you get with it.
This latest report follows on from several previous leaks around this upgraded monitor. Considering the first model came out in 2022, a second-generation model is definitely now due, potentially featuring a switch to mini-LED technology for its display.
Early in February, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that shipping times for the Studio Display were starting to slip, suggesting that a refresh is in the works, with an upgraded internal chip – quite possibly the A19 used in the iPhone 17.

Gurman reckoned that a new model might appear sometime near the start of March – and wouldn't you just know it, Apple has a big week of product announcements coming, starting on Monday. Watch this space.
