Apple would have probably helped many more users by making a really nice<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$500 monitor<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> instead, but no<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it just <em>had<\/em> to make an absurdly overpowered monitor instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple already confirmed the monitor is using Apple\u2019s A13 processor \u2014 the same chip used in the 2021 iPad. Although that processor was released in 2019 with the iPhone 11, Apple\u2019s lead in mobile chip design means it still goes toe-to-toe with the latest chips from Qualcomm and Google. It also uses a similar 12MP front-facing camera for extra-nice video calls with Center Stage support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, we later found out (via<\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/daringfireball.net\/linked\/2022\/03\/17\/three-updates-regarding-studio-display\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daring Fireball<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) that the Studio Display runs on a full-fledged version of iOS 15.

Sure, Apple is using some of that performance for fancy features like Center Stage and Spatial Audio, but there\u2019s no doubting those things are overkill too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That begs the question of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Apple would build so much power into a glorified monitor. Is Apple planning on letting you use the monitor as a standalone computing device? I mean, it already has all the processing power it needs plus a bunch of ports, right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As interesting as I think that would be \u2014 I, for one, am all for the<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MacPad<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 I highly doubt this would happen. Only Apple knows the numbers behind its decision, but chances are that the company decided it wanted to build in some neat features into its display, like the aforementioned Spatial Audio, and found that re-using an old chip design was simply the cheapest way to do it well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It sounds absurd, but that\u2019s the kind of thing the economics of scale allow for when you\u2019re a<\/span>\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/01\/03\/technology\/apple-3-trillion-market-value.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3-trillion-dollar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> company. Apple didn\u2019t need to make a monitor that\u2019s more powerful than many people\u2019s PCs, but it\u2019s probably the only company that could get away with it.<\/span>\n                        <\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
