According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to use its own microLED displays in the Apple iPhone, iPad, and Mac, after first showcasing the technology in the Apple Watch Ultra. The new Apple Watch Ultra, which will be equipped with a microLED display, is slated to launch at the end of 2024.
MicroLED displays: What’s the fuss about?
The latest edition of the Power On newsletter carries a post where Gurman has explained that Apple has been working on the microLED technology for almost six years. This will be the first custom-designed display offered by the company, the same way the Apple Silicon will be its first custom-designed chipset. It is speculated that the microLED display will make its debut with the new Apple Watch Ultra.
According to Gurman, Apple began working on its microLED project, known as T159, in 2017. This display is claimed to offer better colour reproduction, more brightness, and better viewing angles, which should make it look as though the images are painted on the display glass. With this, Apple intends to replace the displays it sources from Samsung and LG.
We may see these displays in all Apple products
Once the microLED display makes its debut with the Apple Watch Ultra (2024), it may also make its way to the iPhone, iPad and Mac afterwards. The idea, he believes, is to make the display an offering that comes with all Apple products. However, the technology itself is quite complex and it may take as much as a decade for it to make its way to the Mac. The Apple iPhone may be the first to get this technology (after the Apple Watch), followed by the iPad.
