Apple images reveal new Thunderbolt Cinema Display coming soon

by Michael Grothaus Jul 15th 2011 at 5:45PM

Images leaked on Apple's own servers have revealed that the company is set to unveil new Thunderbolt-equipped LED Cinema Displays. The images were first discovered by MacRumors and show a Cinema Display with the galaxy wallpaper from the upcoming OS X 10.7 Lion. The URL of one of the images also specifies a new part number of "MC194," suggesting that the image is not just updated to reflect the wallpaper background in Lion.

The most telling sign of changes to the upcoming Cinema Display, however, is that one of the images found shows two Cinema Displays connected via Thunderbolt to the most recent MacBook Pro. This connection of two displays (or "daisy-chaining") to one MacBook Pro could only be accomplished using Thunderbolt technology. If you're in the market for a new Cinema Display, it's best to hold off until next week to see if Apple will release these new displays alongside Lion.

look at the date on the dock, compared to the date on the menu bar. Sunday is the 17th, monday is the 18th. Apple win!

I bet it will be sunday for a release!

Just went to Apple's website. The Cinema Displays, both new and refurbished, are showing an "Oops!" error message.

Apple: this is a health and productivity issue. Please, include matte displays, at least as an option.
