The Apple Watch Ultra is a very capable device with numerous improvements over the standard Series 8 models. The Ultra is designed with features oriented toward professional athletes and adventurers. While the wearable is quite capable as it is, Apple is working on a new model with faster and better internals. The latest suggests that Apple is working on a new model of the Apple Watch Ultra with a microLED display. Scroll down to read more details on what you should expect.
Apple Watch Ultra with microLED Display Could See Daylight by 2025, offering a brighter and more power-efficient solution
Apple is exploring a microLED solution for its future devices, and the development of the technology is already underway. DigiTimes highlights that the company will transition to a microLED display with the Apple Watch Ultra in 2025. Since the development of microLED is still in process, it might take a while for it to be implemented on other devices. Nonetheless, the report does mention that Apple will bring microLED display over to the iPhone, iPad, as well as MacBook models.
Currently, Apple's high-end MacBook Pro models feature a mini-LED panel that offers enhanced color accuracy, deeper blacks, and an overall brighter user experience. The company also makes use of mini-LED panels on the bigger 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Alongside microLED development and future prospects, Apple is also interested in shifting to OLED panels for the iPad and MacBook.
So far, it was rumored that Apple will unveil an OLED iPad Pro model next year, but it will be 800 percent more expensive than the current model. This is due to the increase in the material and production cost of the display designed and developed with respect to Apple's standards. The company is also expected to launch OLED MacBook models next year, and we can expect them to be priced a lot higher than the current models as well.
As for the microLED Apple Watch Ultra, OSRAM will supply the majority of the displays to Apple, with room for additional suppliers to take a piece out of the total demand chunk. The forthcoming Apple Watch Ultra will feature a bigger 2.1-inch display with slimmer bezels. In terms of what you can expect, the panel will be brighter and more power efficient for enhanced battery life.
Take note that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 timeframe could see a potential delay if the technology is not ready. Henceforth, be sure to take the news with a grain of salt. This is all there is to it, folks. Share your views with us in the comments.
