macOS 26.1 Beta Hints at Pro Display XDR 2 With Center Stage Camera
Apple's macOS 26.1 beta hints at a new Pro Display XDR with a built-in camera. Code strings referencing "Pro Display XDR Camera" and "Desk View Camera" suggest the updated display will support Center Stage. The current Pro Display XDR lacks a camera and speakers despite its high price. The original Pro Display XDR was released in 2019, featuring a 32-inch 6K display; it also has a costly optional stand. In 2022, Apple released the Studio Display with a Center Stage camera and speakers. Mark Gurman has reported Apple is working on two new external monitors. An updated Pro Display XDR would be the first since the original's release almost six years ago. The timing of the announcement remains unclear, but new products are expected soon. The macOS 26.1 beta, likely releasing this month, fuels speculation regarding the potential launch of the new display.
