Apple's new Studio Display features a 5K Retina display, a large screen monitor with a 27-inch effective screen area and a resolution of 14.7 megapixels. It also has the same A13 Bionic chip as the iPhone 11 / Pro / Pro Max and 9th generation iPad, and has been found to have a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera.

The Studio Display is expected to be a monitor that fully meets the demand for video calls because it supports a center frame that always captures the subject in the center during video calls and also has a high-quality microphone. After its release, it became a hot topic as 'the image quality of the built-in camera is terrible'. Apple says it plans to improve with a software update in response to complaints about built-in camera image quality.

It was also reported that Studio Display is running the full version of iOS 15.4.

Meanwhile, software developer Khaos Tian pointed out that 'Studio Display has 64GB of NAND storage.' If you look at the screenshots Tian posted on Twitter, you can see that the Studio Display has 64GB of storage, but 62GB isn't being used.



Technology media MacRumors said that firmware updates may require some unused space, but '62GB of unused space doesn't seem to be useful at this time.'

It may seem strange that the monitor has 64GB of storage, but MacRumors points out that it may not be surprising given that the Studio Display has an A13 Bionic chip. .. The iPhone 11 series and 9th generation iPads with the A13 Bionic chip only have a storage configuration of at least 64GB or more, and the storage control system of the A13 Bionic chip may not be compatible with storage less than 64GB. There is sex.

'The production cost of combining the A13 Bionic chip with a small storage configuration can be higher than the similar 64GB system used in the iPhone 11 and 9th generation iPads on sale,' MacRumors said. He suggested that even if there is no use for it, installing 64GB of storage in Studio Display may result in lower production costs.
