An unnamed source reached out to a popular Upgrade podcast (overheard by 9to5Mac), hosted by Myke Hurley and Jason Snell, claiming that Apple is working on a 90Hz display that might show up on future M3-powered iPad Air, the 24-inch iMac and Studio Display models.

The current Apple iMac M3, 13-inch iPad Air 2024, and 5K Studio Displays are locked at 60Hz refresh rates on the available displays. According to the source, the first 90Hz display will be on a future M3-powered iPad Air. From there, it will move to the 24-inch iMac and Studio Display.

The anonymous source told Upgrade, "I have news on screen improvements for the next generation of the M3 iPad Air. 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."
