The Pro Display XDR has officially been discontinued. Apple’s high-end external display was first introduced in 2019 alongside a new Mac Pro, but has now been replaced by the cheaper (but better in many ways) Studio Display XDR.
The Pro Display XDR sold for a whopping $5,999 in its standard configuration. The adjustable “Pro Stand” was sold separately for an additional $1,000. Until the first Studio Display launched in 2022, it was the only external display Apple made.
Today, Apple launched the Studio Display XDR which uses a mini-LED panel with more backlighting zones, offers 120Hz refresh rate, and more. Unlike the Pro Display XDR, the new Studio Display XDR has built-in speakers and a camera. The Studio Display XDR, however, has a 27-inch display whereas the Pro Display XDR had a 32-inch screen.

The Mac Pro seems to be on its last legs, as most professionals opt for the Studio. Only expandability keeps it alive, but there are ways around that, so I guess everything Apple Pro in the Mac line will soon be history.
There’s also a new version of the basic Studio Display.

The Studio Display XDR sells for $3,299, which includes a tilt- and height-adjustable stand.
And for those keeping track at home, the Mac Pro is still available with the M2 Ultra chip for $6999 … yes, the M2 Ultra chip that first launched in 2023.
