Despite claims to the contrary, Apple is said to be still planning the use of microLED in future products such as the Apple Watch Ultra and a rumored follow-on to the Apple Vision Pro.
Despite claims to the contrary, Apple is said to be still planning the use of microLED in future products such as the Apple Watch Ultra and a rumored follow-on to the Apple Vision Pro.
The report suggests that Apple’s alleged AR glasses using microLED screens will enter mass production sometime in 2026. It also says that a plan to use microLED in a future Apple Watch Ultra will also happen in 2026.
Given that the regular Apple Watch was updated to Series 10 in September 2024, it would seem more likely that an Apple Watch Ultra Series 3 could arrive at some point in late 2025.
Apple launched the original Apple Watch Ultra in September of 2022, and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 in September of 2023. For September 2024, the company opted to offer a new black color option to the current model.
Apple has not given up on Micro LED technology.
