The Apple Watch was expected to upgrade to a microLED display, but that doesn’t seem to be happening any time soon. Read on to know why!
Apple has canceled its microLED project with one of its suppliers, leaving the project in limbo.
Apple was expected to equip the 10th-anniversary edition of the Apple Watch, dubbed the Apple Watch X, with microLED as a key hardware upgrade, with a launch due in 2025.
Past reports have suggested that microLED Apple Watches could be as far away as 2027.
Apple has high ambitions for the Apple Watch, and they are warranted. The Apple Watch Series 9 is one of the best smartwatches you can buy, and that’s despite a heavy iPhone lock-in. It’s in Apple’s economic interests to maintain its experience lead with the Apple Watch, and the company was long rumored to make the jump to a microLED display as one of the possible ways it could do so.
