Apple has made products with great displays in the past, most recently with the ProMotion displays found on the best MacBooks. Before that, Apple was praised for its Cinema and Thunderbolt displays, which offered excellent screens at reasonable price points. But those days are long behind us because Apple hasn't designed a great consumer-grade monitor in a decade.

Apple released a lot of products this year like clockwork, refreshing its smartphones, tablets, laptops, and more. One segment that was a bit light was its computing segment, where many expected a new MacBook Pro laptop featuring an M2 SoC, alongside new desktop computers. Unfortunately, due to delays, we can now expect that in 2023, but it looks like Apple could also be working on new monitors for the future.

The Apple Studio Display is a problem child -- there, I've said it. For the unfamiliar, it's a smart monitor that comes with built-in speakers, webcam, processor, and more. This $1,599 external display even receives software updates over the air. Despite it sounding like a fancy, advanced product, this device has had a rough start. It's true that first-gen products tend to be problematic. However, Apple has been producing iMacs for years now. While they're not exactly the same, they share a lot of similarities.

Sometimes the smarter a device gets, the more prone to malfunctioning it becomes. This is particularly more apparent in first-gen models of a certain product. Manufacturers need time and plenty of trials and errors to get things right. The Apple Studio Display is one prominent example in this field. Despite the company being in the iMac business for many years, the Studio Display is still a new product category. It has a lot in common with an iMac, but it still isn't one. It's a $1,599 monitor packing a chip that runs a version of iOS, and issues have been arising since its release.

Studio Display firmware references unreleased Mac Mini model

We've been hearing about a refreshed Mac Mini model for several months now. Since the reveal of the M1 chip (and its family), Apple has only introduced one Mac Mini model. It's powered by its own Silicon and features the same design of the recently-released models. We've noticed a pattern that the Cupertino tech giant has been following, though. The company has been refreshing the hardware on some Macs after they transition from Intel processors. It first started with the colorful iMac, then the notched MacBook Pro models followed, and rumors point at a redesigned MacBook Air in the near future. So when's the Mac Mini's turn? Apple's Studio Display firmware references an unreleased Mac Mini model. This makes us believe that the company could be finally refreshing this Mac sooner rather than later.
