In the video, iFixit begins to detach the front of the monitor from the rest of the body using a special tool. Raised the display with suction cups and disconnected the relative connectors, you are immediately in front of the PCB and the fans. iFixit points out that the internal layout of the components closely resembles that of an iMac with an Intel CPU.
Studio Display and iPhone 11 webcams
Looking closely at the Studio Display webcam, iFixit points out that it looks practically identical to the front camera of the iPhone 11 , leaving optimistic about the possibility of improving its performance through an update. Continuing with the disassembly, the two fans included by Apple are also shown to dissipate the heat of the internal components such as the power supply, the motherboard that houses the A13 chip and the speaker system that can also support spatial audio.
As shown by iFixit, the fact that Apple Studio Display is 50% thicker than the iMac M1 is due to the presence of the power supply integrated into the body, unlike the iMac which uses an external power supply. In the video, it is also noted that Studio Display makes use of the same 60Hz 5K monitor found on the iMac, as well as the complex three-component design used to make the power supply.
