According to display industry analyst Ross Young, Apple’s rumored 27-inch external display with mini-LED backlighting is no longer expected to launch in the first quarter of 2023.
Young today informed MacRumors that he has not seen any signs of the display entering mass production, suggesting that a launch is not imminent. It appears that the display has been pushed back several times, as Young initially expected it to launch around June 2022, and then in October, and most recently in the first quarter of 2023. He has not provided an updated timeframe for when the display might be released.
Young previously said the display will support ProMotion, allowing for up to a 120Hz refresh rate. Given the rumored 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.

A separate 22” or 23” model is needed too.
Not everyone wants such a big screen at 27”. Why doesn’t Apple understand this?
Isn’t the market for 22-23 inches screen not saturated?
4K or 5K on a 22-23 inches display?
Btw, those displays are aimed at the pro market.
The market for 22-23″ screens is about as big as the market for 4″ iPhones, that’s why Apple has moved on to bigger and better things.
If you had a 27 inch screen you will never want a 23-24 inch screen again. Had the same with my 27 inch iMac. The current 24 inch iMac is not for me so waiting for a M2 27 inch imac.
