Apple is one of the top companies in the smartwatch field with its Apple Watch model. It has been wondered for a while when the technology giant will make screen improvements on these devices. Now, some claims have been put forward in this regard.
Famous analyst Ross Young stated that Apple will start using microLED displays produced by LG in its new generation smart watches. Young also provided information about when LG Display will start production and when Apple Watches with these screens will be released.
LG’s microLED screens could be featured on the 2025 Apple Watch
While telling the analyst that LG will not start the production of microLEDs until the second half of 2024, he states that Apple will integrate these screens into Apple Watch devices that will be released in 2025. It is useful to say that this contradicts the previous information. Other analysts said that microLED displays could come to watches in 2024.
Rumors that Apple will improve watches and use microLED screens have been circulating for a long time. In fact, reports in 2019 showed that the company could switch to these screens in 2020; but this did not happen. The tech giant currently uses OLED screens on Apple Watches. There are also rumors that the company’s interest in microLED will be reflected in iPhones.
It should be added that microLED panels have advantages over OLED. This technology offers things like higher brightness and less screen burn-in. It also has a more efficient power consumption than OLED. Considering that the battery life of Apple Watches is of great importance, we can say that the micro LED can be very useful.
