Apple’s first microLED Apple Watch will launch in 2025, display analyst Ross Young tweets. Some pundits are expecting a 2024 debut.
Ams OSRAM — which makes optical solutions — is expected to make the microLED display for the Apple Watch Ultra. In its latest earnings report, the company says it currently expects “to start reporting relevant revenues from our microLED technology in 2025.”
Young predicts that a microLED Apple Watch will launch in spring 2025. He thinks production on the panels for the smartwatch update will begin at the end of 2024.
Earlier in January, as noted by MacRumors, tech analyst Jeff Pu also predicted such an Apple Watch update. He said the high-end smartwatch — which would almost certainly be a next gen Apple Watch Ultra — will likely adopt a larger 2.1-inch micro-LED display measured diagonally. This would allow for increased brightness compared to current Apple Watch models with OLED displays.
