Apple Studio Display Firmware Update 16.4 Beta 4 is Now Available
The Cupertino giant introduced its Studio Display nearly a year ago when it debuted last March 2022, as per Mac Rumors. It flaunted a 5K retina display that supports a stunning 5120 x 2880 resolution.
However, it sports a hefty price tag, starting at a staggering $1,599. But according to Engadget, it hit its lowest pricing before January ended, retailing for only $1,300.
And now, Apple continues to support its 5K monitor with constant beta firmware updates.
Apple Insider notes that the first-ever firmware update for the Studio Display saw the light of day last February 18. Shortly after that, a new beta software started rolling out last March 2. And besides that, the tech giant dished out the third beta on March 9.
This time, the fourth beta for version 16.4 has arrived, allowing Studio Display users to get their hands on it.
