Reliable display analyst Ross Young has reiterated his belief that Apple will unveil a new product with a 27-inch mini-LED display in June, although another well-known analyst claims that new mini-LED products from Apple are unlikely this year.
On Wednesday, Ming-Chi Kuo said there may not be any new products with mini-LED displays from Apple in 2022 because the cost of acquiring the technology is too high. Kuo expects only Apple's existing mini-LED products, such as the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, to be updated in 2022. But he does not expect any more products to be equipped with or switch to this advanced display technology. In a response to Kuo's prediction tweeted Young later said he was still "pretty confident" that a 27-inch mini-LED display would be included in a new Apple product due to launch in or around June, but he was not sure what Apple would call it. Young had previously hinted that the product could be a Studio Display "Pro," but acknowledged that this was just a guess.
Will Apple introduce more mini-LED products in 2022?
Young says he has confirmed the existence of this panel with several companies in Apple's supply chain, and today reminded the community that his consulting firm has "pre-revealed every mini-LED product Apple has made so far." In February, Young claimed that Apple will launch an iMac Pro as early as summer 2022. But the analyst immediately retracted that prediction when Apple unveiled the Mac Studio, which only hit the rumor mill at the last minute. Young explained that his sources were unaware of the difference between the iMac, Mac Studio, and Studio Display, leading to confusion about Apple's exact plans. Kuo and Young both have a strong track record of leaking information about future Apple products, so it will be interesting to see if Apple announces any new mini-LED products this year.
