Studio Display Information
It is mentioned in the official specification table that Apple’s new external display “Studio Display” is equipped with firmware. It turned out that this firmware was actually the full version (not a variant) of iOS 15.4.
This fact is reported by John Gruber, the organizer of the Apple blog “Daring Fireball”.
If you check the software of Studio Display in “Graphics / Display” in the system information on the MacBook Pro side, you can see that it is “Version 15.4 (Build 19E241)”. This build number is exactly the same as iOS 15.4 and iPad OS 15.4, as soon as it turns out that the full version of iOS is running in the display.
Studio Display Information
The A13 Bionic built into Studio Display is the same chip found in the iPhone 11 series, 2nd generation iPhone SE, and 9th generation iPad. As a result, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle webcam with a center frame function and six spatial audio-compatible speakers are controlled.
Since this product has a built-in A13 chip, it was thought that there is a high possibility that the firmware of HomePod and HomePod mini is using a variant of existing Apple software as it is based on tvOS for Apple TV, but iOS It’s a little surprising that it was.
Reviewers who had tried Studio Display before it went on sale all complained that the webcam image quality was “terrible.” In addition to that, Gruber said that the center frame function “moves a little or turns sideways, and even though I’m sitting right in front of the center of the display, it’s out of the frame. The center frame catches up and re-enters the frame. It can take up to 5 seconds to fit. “
Apple told reviewers that it “discovered a problem with the system not working as expected” and that it would “improve” with a software update. However, it is not specified how it will be improved or when it will be updated.
If the Studio Display software is the same as the iPhone, there may be some movement when iOS is updated next time. The price close to 200,000 yen should include “A13 Bionic fee” and “Web camera and center frame fee”, but I would like to wait for Apple’s support in the future.
