Between this and the iOS 17 standby feature, it seems like Apple likes the idea of displays showing information instead of just being black. Not really sure why they wouldn’t just make this a macOS feature though, dumb to limit this to some sort of smart monitor instead of just using the computer it is connected to.

      The current studio display already has the A13, I’d expect all future monitors to come with with iPhone SoC.

      And they can sell it for hundreds more than that on top. There’s the real reason.
