As we&#8217;ve reported before, the Studio Display runs firmware based on iOS and is powered by an A13 Bionic chip inside. <\/p>\n<p>This combination allows Apple to roll out firmware updates to the Studio Display, and today&#8217;s update is referred to as &#8220;Apple Studio Display Firmware Update 15. 5.&#8221; Apple has confirmed that today&#8217;s update addresses issues with the webcam quality. <\/p>\n<p><span ><\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>When the early reviews of the Studio Display hit the web last month, Apple promised it would roll out a software update to address concerns about the webcam quality. It is likely that this update will address the concerns regarding the Studio Display&#8217;s webcam quality, which has been heavily criticised by reviewers. <\/p>\n<p>According to code changes seen by <em>9to5Mac<\/em>, Apple Studio Display Firmware Update 15. 5 does make multiple changes to the frameworks for the webcam as well as Center Stage. We haven&#8217;t yet tested it, but it does appear that this update address the lackluster camera quality at least in some form. <\/p>\n<p>[Update: After <em>9to5Mac<\/em>\u2018s findings, Apple confirmed to <em>The Verge <\/em>that the update addresses \u201ccamera tuning, improved noise reduction, contrast, and framing.\u201d]<\/p>\n<p>As of right now, Studio Display Firmware 15. 5 is only available to beta testers. This means that it will appear in System Preferences on your Mac <em>only <\/em>if the connected Mac is running the macOS Monterey 12. 4 beta. The Studio Display update clocks in at 487 MB in terms of size, which seems like a pretty big update for a display. <\/p>\n<p>If you spot any changes in the new betas from Apple today, let us know in the comments below or on . Stay tuned for our full hands-on coverage with the new releases right here at <em>9to5Mac<\/em>. <\/p>\n<figure ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment- src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2022\/04\/26\/apple-releases-studio-display-firmware-15-5-beta-for-developers-webcam-fix-included\/screen-shot-2022-04-26-at-12-19-24-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-12.19.24-PM.png\" data-orig-size=\"2342,1110\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta='\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"' data-image-title=\"Screen Shot 2022-04-26 at 12.19.24 PM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-12.19.24-PM.png?w=655\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-12.19.24-PM.png?w=1000\" title=\"Apple releases Studio Display Firmware 15.5 beta for developers, webcam fixes included\" width=\"2342\" height=\"1110\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-12.19.24-PM.png 2342w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-12.19.24-PM.png?resize=155,73 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-12.19.24-PM.png?resize=655,310 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-12.19.24-PM.png?resize=768,364 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-12.19.24-PM.png?resize=1024,485 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-12.19.24-PM.png?resize=1536,728 1536w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-12.19.24-PM.png?resize=2048,971 2048w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-12.19.24-PM.png?resize=350,166 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-12.19.24-PM.png?resize=1600,758 1600w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-12.19.24-PM.png?resize=150,71 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2342px) 100vw, 2342px\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Read more: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Studio Display reviews: The Apple display we need, but with the webcam of an &#8216;old BlackBerry&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Apple Studio Display tidbits: &#8216;Hey Siri&#8217; for connected Mac, A13 handling, Center Stage onboarding, more<\/li>\n<li>Apple promises software update to improve Studio Display&#8217;s lackluster webcam<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Thanks, Peter! <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p><!-- youtube embed -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/04\/Apple-Studio-Display-firmware-update-works-again.jpg?resize=1200%2C628&#038;quality=82&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2022\/04\/26\/apple-releases-studio-display-firmware-15-5-beta-for-developers-webcam-fix-included\/<\/div>\n<p><\/wordaidoc><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple releases Studio Display Firmware 15. 5 beta for developers, webcam fixes included Apple is rolling out a beta new firmware update for its Studio Display today.
