    Has anyone paired 2 Studio Displays with Pro XDR?

    Pro Display XDR - Should I Wait for the Next Generation?

    Hi guys! I'm currently thinking of buying the Pro Display XDR but I can't tell if Apple is going to be updating it any time soon. Given how expensive it is, it'd kill me to buy the monitor just to have them release a new version 3 months down the line. My thinking is: 1. If they were to update...
