Verdict: The Apple Studio Display M3 edges out the original thanks to its M3‑powered webcam and Thunderbolt 4 port, delivering 15 % faster AI face‑tracking (per Tom's Hardware) while preserving the 5K, 600‑nit panel praised by RTINGS. However, both share the same high price and limited adjustability, so the original remains a solid choice if webcam upgrades aren’t critical. Overall, the M3 version scores higher on performance and features, making it the preferred pick for creators who need the latest camera tech.
