The MicroLED is the next step after the current OLED that the Cupertino company is commissioning from JDI to manufacture the screens for its devices. Despite the fact that it is still quite a long way from seeing it present in large devices such as the iPad or MacBook, where Apple clearly continues to bet on the traditional IPS panel, research in new technologies is still present. The Apple Watch seems the one chosen to bet on a new screen system, as it already happened at the time as it was the first Apple device that opted for the OLED panel. Nevertheless, Some leaks suggest that the Apple Watch will not receive the MicroLED during this year 2020.
Although a few weeks ago it was reported that in Santa Clara (California) Apple was testing an edition of the Apple Watch with a MicroLED screen that allowed the device to be lighter, brighter and above all save energy, it seems that everything returns to the previous point. According to a "leaker" that campaigns on Twitter, the user @Lovetodream, warns that the Apple Watch Series 6 will continue to use the same screen as the current model. We recall that the Cupertino company commissioned JDI to manufacture the Apple Watch screen, while it is thinking of betting on LG and Samsung for the screens of the new iPhone.
A delay of one year in the arrival of the MicroLED to the Apple Watch predicts at least one more year of delay in the arrival of the iPhone. ANDThis MicroLED panel could be the best bet for the autonomy and energy consumption of mobile devices in recent years, especially considering that while it has opted for the possibility of charging the batteries faster and faster, practically nothing has been done to increase their capacity significantly.
