The new Apple Studio Display is an exciting option for professionals, but users may be disappointed if they connect an older iPad to the monitor.
The Studio Display is yet to hit shelves, but it is already getting a lot of love online from professionals seeking a new Apple-branded external monitor that can meet their needs. While the upgraded webcam and audio hardware have received praise, the I/O aspect isn’t too shabby, either. However, connecting it to older USB-C Apple tablets like the fourth-generation iPad Air or the sixth-generation iPad Mini will limit the screen output. Per a report from MacRumors that cites a statement from Apple, connecting an iPad Air 4 or the iPad Mini 6 via USB-C to the Studio Display will downgrade the resolution from the monitor’s peak 5K to a lower 1440p output.
