Apple's Pro Display XDR is a serious professional product, as evidenced by its $5,000 price tag, but new rumors suggest that three new models are in the works, one of which may feature custom silicon.

According to Apple analyst dylandkt on Twitter, three new LG displays are in early development for Apple, as reported by 9to5Mac. Two of the displays have the same specifications as the current 24-inch iMac 2021 and the rumored iMac Pro 2022, which was recently teased in a new report. However, it is the third display that seems to be the most intriguing: according to dylandkt, "there appears to be a reference to custom silicon driving the 32-inch display." [At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that the 24" and 27" models will feature custom silicon. However, according to dylandkt, that could change.

Earlier this year, 9to5Mac reported that Apple was testing a display with a dedicated A13 Bionic chip, the same processor found in the iPhone 11.

Not surprisingly, given that both the new MacBook Pro 2021 and iPad Pro 2021 have mini-LED displays, the rumored 27" and 32" units will have 120Hz refresh rates with full array local dimming ( FALD) technology, it is not a big surprise. This is also consistent with a Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) report that Apple will release a 27-inch mini LED iMac Pro in 2022.

Of course, it's good to be a little skeptical of any rumor; in Dylandkt's case, the informant is currently rated 77.5% accurate on AppleTrack, a website that tracks the reliability of Apple analysts and leakers.

At this point, it is difficult to say when these supposed displays will be available. At the very least, DSCC claims that the iMac Pro will likely be released in the spring of 2022. Since the rumored iMac is likely to use the same display as the one mentioned by dylandkt, it is possible that a stand-alone unit will appear in a few months.
