Apple Can Easily Fix Studio Display Issues, Thanks to its Running Full Version of iOS 15.4

Multiple reviewers have complained of bugs with Apple’s new Studio Display’s webcam, which Apple says is a software issue, not a hardware thing, and a fix is on the way. Apparently, it can be fixed by a software fix, as the display apparently runs a full version of iOS 15.4.

Daring Fireball’s John Gruber, who was initially skeptical of Apple’s “software fix” claims, says there’s is a reason to believe the company can fix the problems.

“Maybe I should hold my breath [after all],” writes Gruber. “Multiple little birdies familiar with the Studio Display, each birdie independent of the others, tell me that the image quality problems really are a software problem.”

Gruber noted that the display is apparently running a full version of iOS 15.4. The software installed on the monitor by Apple has the same build number as the shipped iOS 15.4 and identifies itself accordingly.

“[And] a future software update might not merely somewhat improve image quality,” he continues, “but raise it to a level commensurate with the iPad models equipped with the same camera (the new Air and last year’s Pros).”

We’ll let you know as soon as Apple makes a Studio Display update available to the public.
