No stingy cleaning cloth gift
Veterans of the Apple ecosystem look warily at the better and past times when Apple included a cleaning cloth in its iPhone, in fact, until 2016 it continued to include a cleaning cloth. microfiber on the MacBook so you can clean its brand new screen.
This very expensive microfiber cloth from Apple, which caused so much controversy for having a price of more than 20 dollars, was until now included with both versions of the Apple Pro Display XDR, the older sister of the new Apple Studio Display. Well, your joy in a well if you thought you wanted to at least give yourself that joy with an unboxing, If you want to clean your brand new screen for around 1,799 dollars, you will have to buy the cloth separately, it is not included on this occasion. The thing changes if you buy the 2,029 euro version, where it will be included.
Do you have an iPad? It’s not that compatible though…
As you well know, one of the flags of Apple is the integration with its ecosystem, which causes a faint laughter among Apple Watch users. In this case, Apple warns that thanks to its USB-C 3.1 2nd Gen with data transmission up to 10 Gbps, you will be able to connect your iPad to display iPadOS content, but remember, If your iPad is older than the iPad Air 4 or iPad Mini 6, you’re going to have to settle for upscaled resolutions down to 2K.
An iPhone hidden inside
As you’ve seen, this Apple Studio Display does a lot of things on its own, but it all has an explanation. Inside hides an Apple A13 Bionic processor which is neither more nor less than the processor that mounts the iPhone 11 range. Among other things, thanks to this, he will be able to perform the tasks of Apple’s new Universal Control features and the various software features integrated into the 12MP FaceTime camera.
Does that sound cheap to you? you can always spend more
The new Apple Studio Display starts at 1,779 dollars, but it is the version for ordinary mortals, since it incorporates a simple anti-reflective glass of all life. True Apple lovers have a version with nano-textured glass available for $2,029 that diffuses light to further reduce glare and show off a “spectacular” image.
The same goes for support. You have three very versatile options, but they are not interchangeable with each other, so you have to choose carefully:
- A 30 degree adjustable tilt stand that is welded on, so you won’t be able to remove the Apple Studio Display from it.
- A VESA mount adapter: This will allow you to embed your Apple Studio Display in any VESA mount of your choice, either a stand or directly on the wall, but remember that in this case you will need to purchase another mount separately.
- A tilting and height-adjustable stand: This Apple stand which would cover most of your needs and which is also soldered to the monitor would cost you around 400 dollars more.
If you’re feeling a little more generous than usual, you’ll end up shelling out $2,489, but at least you’ll be enjoying Apple’s infamous cleaning cloth. To all this it should be noted that this monitor It has the EU energy label “E” certification, one of the three worst certifications that the European Union grants to this type of device.
