Highlights Apple is working on a second-generation Studio Display for a 2026 release. It could be either a prototype or a different model with new features. Apple might also be developing multiple external monitors as it updates its Pro Display XDR and Studio Display lineup. Latest speculation about Apple’s next studio displays reveal plans for multiple versions. (Image credit - Apple) Apple is developing at least two new external monitors and it’s unclear whether they are separate products or simply different prototypes of the same model. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has been working on a second-generation Studio Display codenamed J427 for a 2026 release. However, another monitor codenamed J527 has also surfaced raising questions about Apple’s plans. Here’s what we know so far. Is J527 a Third-Gen Studio Display or Prototype? While it might seem like Apple is already working on a third-generation Studio Display, Gurman says that may not be the case. He explains, “Now, here’s one twist. I’m told Apple is working on a second new monitor code-named J527. At this point, it seems unlikely that the device would be a subsequent generation, given the amount of time between updates and that we’re still a bit away from the J427.” This suggests that J427 and J527 might not be separate products but rather different versions of the second-generation Studio Display that Apple is testing. Given that the first Studio Display launched over three years ago and its successor is still more than a year away, Apple may be experimenting with multiple options before finalising the design. Is Apple Planning Multiple Studio Display Variants? Gurman also speculates that J527 could be a different model rather than just a prototype, possibly featuring a new screen size or upgraded specifications. He also notes that Apple’s Pro Display XDR is approaching its sixth anniversary, so it wouldn’t be surprising if Apple is working on more than one external monitor update. For now, it remains unclear what features will set J527 apart, if it even becomes a standalone product. But with the second-generation Studio Display expected in 2026, we might get more clarity on Apple’s monitor lineup in the coming months. FAQs Q1.

Apple is developing at least two external monitors, including the second-generation Studio Display (codenamed J427), expected to launch in 2026. Q2.
