Why is Apple’s Studio Display so thick?
The Studio Display is Apple’s latest external screen, presented during its keynote broadcast last March. It accompanies the Mac Studio, a compact computer for the needs of creatives and freelancers. The engineers of the Apple brand decided to insert the power supply on the back of the screen, which leads to a thickening of the case.
Apple has complicated its life to integrate the power supply on the back of its latest screen
Released a few days ago now, the Studio Display has passed into the expert hands of the iFixit teams who, as usual, took pleasure in dismantling the external screen to analyze its design.
This screen is inspired a lot by the iMac (2021), Apple’s all-in-one computer, and its design. However, the most observant will have noticed that the case is almost twice as thick as the very thin one of the iMac. The explanation is that Apple has devised a complex system that incorporates two power cards, cooled by two fans that take up a significant amount of space in the Studio Display, instead of an external power supply as on the ‘iMac. These fans are as thin as they are wide, to reduce their noise in operation, and again take up space on the back of the device.
The A13 Bionic SoC and the 64 GB of storage as well as the front camera are conversely very discreet. On the sides, we find the entire audio part with resonance boxes that allow you to create powerful bass without shaking the screen and the speakers located at the bottom.
There is no doubt that this neat design, greatly resembling that of a Mac, partly explains the very high price of 1,749 euros
