I original Studio Display hasn't received a firmware update in a long time.
I don't recall ever owning a monitor which required a firmware update, day one, or ever.

Does it even matter - nobody is buying these products. Apple Studio Display basically same product as 2022 release and XDR overpriced. These items will be collecting dust on the Apple stock shelves.
