Apple’s new Studio Display is powered by the A13 Bionic chipset, making it as powerful as an iPhone 11. And, it also comes with a whopping 64GB of internal storage.

Chaim Gartenberg for The Verge:
The Studio Display having some storage is logical, given the extra software that Apple is running on it to enable extra camera and audio features for things like portrait mode and spatial audio effects. But it’s certainly surprising to see just how much hardware the new monitor has.
For those keeping track at home, the 64GB of storage and A13 chip means that the Studio Display has a faster processor and twice the storage as the base model of the Apple TV 4K. It’s basically just a few sticks of RAM and a Wi-Fi radio away from being a full-fledged Apple Silicon iMac (or a giant 27-inch iPad that doesn’t have a touchscreen).
MacDailyNews Take: Gartenberg reminds that base configuration of an iPhone 11 was 64GB, so it’s possible that it was cheaper for Apple to simply repurpose iPhone 11 parts (complete with its existing soldered on storage) than to design a brand-new A13 with less storage specifically for the Studio Display.

27-inch iPhone. Should give connected Mac access to portion of 64GB it’s not using 😉
Well, the base iPhone 11 came with a minimum of 64GB of storage, might just be economies of scale?
Unbelievable , no more back up drives, processing graphics and speed. Cable companies can load there systems up on this tv with the built Wi-Fi radio…
Heard lots of negative reviews on this. Looks like another Tim Cook failure
Heard lots of whining from Hal’s half dozen screen names. Looks like another Hal failure
Lah, remember: libturd opinions are valued lower than dog shit
Yet GOP presidential candidates haven’t been able to capture the popular vote in ages and can only win by cheating using voter restrictions and gerrymandering. Why? Because unfortunately for people like you, the US is actually more Liberal and progressive than you want to believe. And that drives you crazy. Love it.
the US is actually more Liberal and progressive than you want to believe.
No, I fully believe it. It’s a well documented fact that stupid people breed faster which is why the US is now overrun with idiots
Can you please show us the documentation for your fertility claim?

As for “stupid people”, most studies show that strong biases are linked with low cognitive abilities, on average. This explains why certain people, overwhelmed with things they don’t understand and changes they don’t know how to cope with, attempt to boil down complex issues into sweeping generalizations and inappropriate stereotypes.

Let’s stick with discussing Macs and avoid the unnecessary strife here, okay?
What the absolute fuck does this have to do with liberal vs. conservative, progressive vs. authoritative, red vs. blue, Trump vs. Biden, or any other political spectrum? We’re just talking about a monitor, right?
(By the way, just a piece of advice, calling someone a “libturd” is NOT the way to win friends and influence people. But I’m guessing you already knew that.)
I have no wish to win friends with Libturds. Just the opposite. It is vital to for them to understand how much they are despised by Americans.
Then why are you here? Do you even own a Mac?
Mostly; “I’m just a guy shooting YouTube videos so I don’t need and can’t afford this display. Bad Apple, couldn’t it have been $1,000 cheaper so I could buy it?” No? Well, it’s a bad display folks.
Too bad that you are not smart enough to do any real research. How many times did you vote for dementia Joe?
Too bad Hal has BDS. The derangement is strong. Cry, poor baby Hal, cry it out.
There is no greater proof of stupidity than voting for a lying, corrupt, racist dementia patient and a whore. The only funny part is that libturds think they are the smart ones
So I assume you’re talking about Biden? Which is really funny because there is actual tangible proof that Trump exhibits every one of those attributes, along with being a misogynistic narcissist and an autocrat wannabe along with a proven disdain for anyone not rich, yet you seem to be okay with that. But typical.
One explanation of your continued support for Biden is that you are simply not paying any attention at all.
The second is that you are a moron.
Becky Hal: you claim Apple’s Studio Display is bad based on what? Unsubstantiated online opinions? We all know you have never been in a room with one. Online opinion is all you ever used as a basis for your extreme vitriol.
How pathetic that a computer monitor triggers you online political troll. Get. A. Life.
Most reviews I’ve seen have been positive, except for the camera for which Apple says a software fix is coming. I hope so, I have a display on order.
This is so they can capture your screen and run surveillance programs outside of your OS. Sneaky little devils
Apple adds all those things to the display and yet the reviewers seem to think it’s just a waste of components as they’d rather simply have a cheaper display. I’m guess Apple does all that stuff to differentiate itself from similar products on the market. It doesn’t make sense to just add components that are useless just to drive up the cost. But maybe that’s just how Apple continues to make profits. It doesn’t seem that the display is that expensive, but that’s just my opinion. I’d buy it if I needed it, but I don’t. It does look nice, though.
“ But maybe that’s just how Apple continues to make profits.”
Yes, by overcharging for EVERYTHING the dreaded Apple tax and making billions more by eliminating chargers and headphones from iPhone boxes.
Apple is all about MONEY, average working customer be damned! But then again you love it, all about the profits you make from Apple stock we’ve heard a 100 times…
You do know you have a choice to buy something else right? No one is forcing you to buy Apple. Just like you can buy a Chevy rather than an Audi.
Apple TV to be?
That would be effing amazing and would teach me that I need to be more patient.
MacDailyNews: PLEASE remove all the political BS that’s been appearing in the comments. It has nothing to do with the topic of this article or this site. It’s getting as bad as Facebook, which I quit for the same reason. I don’t visit this site for a political discussion. I was hoping that once “Truth” was up and running, the people that didn’t want to deal with all the crap wouldn’t have to. But no, it’s no fun preaching to the choir. I’ve been getting my Mac news from MDN for MANY years. Please don’t make me find another source for my Mac news.
FWIW, removing off-topic comments is NOT censorship. And it’s not unreasonable to expect people commenting on Mac news to limit their comments to Mac news.
I agree Tony. I do reply back to them occasionally mainly because I’m extremely curious as to why they are here. Is it because they know Apple is a mostly progressive company with an openly gay man at the helm? And do they hate that Apple is doing well despite how much they see those attributes as being a weakness? It’s really odd.
