Apple’s Pro Display XDR 2 Might Feature A Quantum-Dot Display Like The M4 MacBook Pro

Apple’s next-generation Pro Display XDR could adopt quantum-dot display technology, similar to the latest MacBook Pro models.

This insight comes from Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, in a recent blog post. Known for his accurate predictions, Young has a solid track record with display-related Apple rumors.

According to Young, Quantum-dot display films deliver equal or superior color gamut performance and better motion handling compared to the KSF phosphor films used in the current Pro Display XDR. These advancements suggest that the Pro Display XDR 2 might offer sharper color accuracy and faster response times.

The original Pro Display XDR, launched in 2019 alongside the Mac Pro, has remained unchanged since its release. With a 32-inch LCD panel, 6K resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, and LED backlighting, it also features up to 1,600 nits of brightness, a Thunderbolt 3 port, and three USB-C ports. It starts at $4,999 in the U.S., with the optional Pro Stand costing an additional $999.

While details on the Pro Display XDR 2 remain sparse, past reports from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman hinted at the inclusion of an Apple silicon chip, potentially enabling features like Center Stage, spatial audio, and Siri integration—already seen in the Studio Display. Customers are also hoping for a built-in camera, improved speakers, and a higher refresh rate.

As of now, there’s no word on when this next-gen display might hit the market.
