Studio Display Outputs At 1440p Resolution When Connected to 4th-Gen iPad Air and iPad Mini 6

The new 5K studio display isn't compatible with the fourth-generation iPad Air or the new iPad.

Some users are wondering what happens when a fourth-generation iPad Air or iPad mini 6 is connected to the studio display. Apple confirmed to MacRumors that the two devices output to the 5K display in a downscaled 1440p resolution. There are other older, non-supported iPads that are not capable of driving the studio display.

According to Apple, the new Studio Display is compatible with a range of Macs.

• Mac Studio (2022)
• 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019 or later)
• 14-inch MacBook Pro (2021)
• 13-inch MacBook Pro (2016 or later)
• 15-inch MacBook Pro (2016 or later)
• MacBook Air (2018 or later)

• Mac mini (2018 or later)
• Mac Pro (2019 or later)
• 24-inch iMac (2021)
• 27-inch iMac (2017 or later)
• 21.5-inch iMac (2017 or later)
• iMac Pro (2017)

Delivery dates for both the new Mac Studio and its accompanying Studio Display have begun to slip well into April, although customers can order the Studio Display now through Apple's online store.

The studio display is priced at $1999 in the US with a tilt- and height-adjustable stand. The monitor can be configured with either glass or a VESA mount.
