The Pro Display XDR doesn't come with a stand despite costing $5,000 (or $6,000 with nano-texture glass), and if you want one you'll need to pay Apple an additional $999 for the matching Pro Stand. Unfortunately, it's going to cost you a ridiculous amount of money. So if you need the biggest, most beautiful Apple display possible, you want the Pro Display XDR. Like the Studio Display the Pro Display XDR is a big slab of metal and screen, but it's dominated by a beautiful 32-inch 6K display that you can also get with a nano-texture glass coating for an astounding additional $1,000. The Pro Display XDR looks quite a bit like the Studio Display, except it's bigger, older and more expensive. With powerful new MacBook Pros about to hit the market later this year, it seems Apple has professionals on its mind.The Apple Studio Display has a lot of built-in extras for a monitor, including a 12MP ultrawide webcam, a six-speaker sound system, a triple-mic recording array and an onboard A13 Bionic chip. Professionals, studios, and design agencies are the users of an XDR dual-display stand. Of course, the XDR line isn’t made for regular consumers. We don’t know what Apple will charge for a dual-display XDR stand but we’re confident it will be prohibitive.

Although it perfectly balances the big display, most of the cost is aesthetic. This allows the user to invert the stand into a V shape without disturbing the alignment of the monitors on either end of the shaft.įinally, the stand includes a friction engine, suggesting the entire device is motorized and could potentially be controlled directly from a Mac.Īpple’s current Pro Display XDR stand costs over $1,000. There are rollers riding on rails inside the shaft to maintain perfect spacing between the monitors.Īnother interesting addition to the stand is a universal joint that synchronizes the rotation of both segments of the main shaft. The dual display keeps its two legs tucked away behind the screens, while the connecting shaft keeps both monitors at the same height and tilt.

“While various existing display stands provide tilt, rotation, and vertical height adjustment of monitors, these features often come at the expense of being convenient and natural to use.” “Computer device designers often desire to control positioning of a computer monitor or similar display at whatever height and orientation are best suited for the needs of the user,” Apple wrote in the patent background.
