Apple's 27-Inch Display With Mini LEDs May Not Launch In Q1 2023. Know Everything
Famed display industry analyst Ross Young has said that Apple's purported 27-inch external display with mini-LED backlighting may not be unveiled in the Q1 of 2023.
Dismissing previous leaks and rumours, famed display industry analyst Ross Young has said that Apple's purported 27-inch external display with mini-LED backlighting may not be unveiled in the first quarter (Q1) of 2023. Young, who has an excellent track record with predicting future Apple products, was quoted as saying by MacRumors that there have been signs of the 27-inch external display entering mass production, thus, indicating that there is no launch in near future.
According to Young's previous statements, the display will support ProMotion and allow up to a 120Hz refresh rate. Given the rumoured 27-inch size, it's possible the display will be a next-generation version of the Studio Display, but it could also be a new model positioned between the Studio Display and the higher-end Pro Display XDR, the MacRumors report added. The current Studio Display features a 5K resolution without ProMotion and has been priced starting at $1,599.

Meanwhile, in a bid to further heat up the super-premium smartphone segment, Apple may be looking to launch an iPhone Ultra model. The tech giant could launch its most expensive iPhone Ultra in 2024, according to a recent newsletter by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The tech giant is not going to replace its outgoing industrial design chief Evans Hankey who took over after Jony Ive left the company, raising a question of whether we'd see significant upgrades in this year's iPhone lineup.
Samsung has just upgraded its flagship iPhone-rivalling Galaxy S series with the S23 Ultra, S23+ and S23 with upgraded cameras, better batteries and a customised top-tier chipset.
Apple recently reported revenue of $117.2 billion for the December quarter and set “all-time revenue” records in a number of markets, including Canada, Indonesia, Mexico, Spain, Turkey and Vietnam, along with quarterly records in Brazil and India. The $117.2 billion revenue was down 5 per cent year-over-year, from nearly USD 124 billion in December 2021 “as a result of a challenging environment.”
