iPhone to Get microLED Displays, Apple Watch Ultra Will Be the First to Get It: Report

Apple is rumoured to adopt microLED panels for its entire product lineup soon. The Cupertino-based tech giant will reportedly begin the transition from organic light-emitting diode to micro light-emitting diode display technology late next year or early 2025 with the launch of the 2nd generation Apple Watch Ultra. MicroLED display offers multiple advantages over OLED panels. It offers higher brightness and enhanced contrast ratio while ensuring lower power consumption. The iPhone lineup, followed by iPad units is also expected to switch from OLED to micro-LED in the future.

As per a paywalled report by Digitimes, Apple’s transition to microLED panels from OLED display technology will begin with the launch of the 2nd generation Apple Watch Ultra by the end of 2024 or early 2025. After evaluating microLED technology performance in action, the company will reportedly release iPhone models with microLED screens followed by iPad.

The report, quoting South Korea’s state-owned research institute Information & Communication Technology Promotion (IITP), states that Apple’s ongoing R&Ds in display technology will impact Samsung Display and LG. However, Apple is eyeing to start using its own in-house microLED displays on its smartwatches as early as the end of next year to reduce its reliance on other partners such as Samsung Electronics and LG. This would accelerate its move toward using its own parts across Apple products without depending on components from outside suppliers. However, the iPhone maker may take some time to completely commercialise its self-made display technology.

The microLED display can output improved colour brightness, high resolution, colour contrast, and viewing angles. It also lowers the power consumption. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman earlier in his newsletter claimed that Apple might take an entire decade to install the superior display on its iPhone, iPad, and Mac lineup.

The iPhone 15 series — comprising the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max — that are expected to be launched in September this year could stick with OLED displays.

Apple launched the iPad Pro (2022) and the iPad (2022) alongside the new Apple TV this week.

Samsung to Use microLED Displays for Its Future Galaxy Series Smartwatches: Report

Samsung is reportedly planning to incorporate microLED displays for its future Galaxy series wearables. Currently, the South Korean electronics manufacturer uses microLED technology for its high-end smart TVs and packs OLED displays for its Galaxy smartwatch lineups. It also supplies smartwatch OLED panels to other brands including Apple. Compared to TFT and OLED screens, microLED is a superior display technology with a higher colour gamut and less power consumption. Samsung Display reportedly started a microLED display development project last year and assigned a team to commercialise microLED displays for smartwatches. Apple is also rumoured to use new screens on its high-end wearables from next year.

As per a report by ETNews, Samsung Display set up a team by end of last year to commercialise microLED displays for Galaxy smartwatches. The team reportedly aims to complete the development within this year.

Samsung’s premium smart TVs come with microLED displays and these are manufactured by Samsung Electronics itself. Samsung’s Display division is considering microLED as next-generation display technology and is targeting smartwatches as its first product, the report added.

The microLED display has a considerably high resolution, colour contrast ratio and brightness. The superior display technology potentially offers less power consumption and better visibility under direct sunlight as well.

If this report holds any weight, then next year’s Galaxy smartwatches might debut with new displays.

A recent report claimed that Apple is gearing up to use its own custom displays in its mobile devices from 2024 onwards. It is reportedly planning to replace the current OLED standard with microLED technology. This would allow the Cupertino-based company to lessen its relay on Samsung Electronics and LG. Apple intends to begin by swapping out the display in high-end Apple Watches by the end of next year. Eventually, the company may bring these displays to other products including iPhone models.
