The current iPad Air

Sketchy rumor says iPad Air, iMac, and Studio Display could be updated to 90Hz

by · AppleInsider

A rumor with no solid background claims that the current 60Hz displays on devices such as the iPad Air and iMac will be replaced by 90Hz ones on future releases.

It's more than two years since the Apple Studio Display was first released, and it has not been updated since. Now it's rumored that it will get a refresh that sees its 60Hz display updated to 90Hz, alongside the same change in the iMac and iPad Air.

"I have news on screen improvements for the next generation of the M3 iPad Air," says the rumor from an anonymous source. "Apple is working on a higher refresh rate LCD display with a new liquid motion panel fixed at around 90Hz."

"They're also working on expanding it to other models or products like a 24-inch iMac and a next-gen studio display," it continues.

As spotted by 9to5mac, the rumor was sent anonymously to the hosts of the Upgrade podcast. Consequently there is no way to determine its validity, or assess the track record of the leaker.

Apple is expected to release an update iPad Air in early 2025, but there has been no other claim about its screen. The iMac is unlikely to see another update soon, and there have been no rumors about a forthcoming Studio Display.

90fps sounds odd for the max frame rate
