The display on the Apple Watch is going to change radically, it seems. Here’s why I think a new report must point to Apple Watch Ultra 2.
According to the reliable analyst Ross Young, the first Apple Watch with a MicroLED display will arrive in 2025, with production starting by the end of 2024. It sounds like something which could out-Ultra the Ultra. While Young doesn’t specify the kind of Watch, I suspect it could debut in the Ultra, not least because of the increased brightness MicroLED offers.
Two big things here. First, the MicroLED display is likely to land on the iPhone “eventually”. Much more interesting, though, are these phrases: “highest-end Apple Watches” indicates that it’s most likely that the new display will come to the Apple Watch Ultra first, or at the very least won’t be on the most affordable Apple Watch models. And, secondly, “by the end of next year”.
Gurman says “it will take years before Apple moves the iPhone to microLED”, so don’t hold your breath. Now back to why MicroLED is so appealing.MicroLED has been rumored for the Apple Watch for some years. It has significant benefits over OLED, including that increased brightness, which could be especially useful in the Apple Watch Ultra. MicroLED also promises reduced burn-in and, perhaps most important of all, greater power efficiency, which could lead to enhanced battery life.
This again makes me think this will not be a regular Apple Watch, which will almost certainly reach Series 10 in autumn 2024.My guess is that the Ultra, like the Watch SE, will not be updated on an annual basis, at least not at first.
