Summary

Apple refreshed the Studio Display in March 2026 with the same 27-inch 5K Retina resolution and 600-nit brightness, but newer connectivity and updated built-in features. The display now uses Thunderbolt 5, provides up to 96W of charging to a connected Mac, and includes one downstream Thunderbolt 5 port plus two USB-C ports for accessories.

It keeps Apple’s integrated webcam, speaker, and microphone approach, including a 12MP Center Stage camera with Desk View, a studio-quality three-mic array, and a six-speaker system with force-cancelling woofers. Apple also lists P3 wide color, True Tone, Reference Modes, and an optional nano-texture glass finish.
