The Apple Watch could have a new version later this year, along with the launch of the iPhone 8, and this new model that Apple presents could enjoy a completely new design as well as a new screen technology that allows better colors, more brightness and much less energy consumption. What is this miracle technology called? These are the microLED displays, which Apple has been quietly working on since 2014 and which could be ready for mass production later this year.. We explain what this technology consists of and what differences it has with current screens.
It is not about anything new, but the confirmation of a rumor that We already told you half a year ago. Apple bought in 2014 the LuxVue company that was precisely working on these new microLED screens. Like the AMOLED screens that the Apple Watch has since its launch and that it has maintained in the most recent Series 1 and 2, they get each pixel to have its own illumination, so the contrast is much better than in the LCD that they have, for example, the iPhone and the iPad. Getting a black screen is as simple as turning off all the pixels, that's why blacks are really black, and not a dark gray that is what you get with LCDs. However, these new microLED screens have considerable advantages over AMOLEDs, and that is becauseThey follow a much higher brightness (twice) with the same energy consumption, and also their manufacture is much cheaper than AMOLED and even LCD.
If we add all the factors (greater autonomy due to lower energy consumption and cheaper manufacturing) It could be the perfect equation to finally add LTE connectivity to the Apple Watch, since they could maintain the autonomy and price of the new Apple Watch by improving performance, a goal that seems difficult to achieve but that this new technology would make available to Apple. What about the design? After three models with the same design, the moment of change would have come, although I doubt that Apple will launch a round Apple Watch as many expect.
Apple should release 2 models, one square and one round, which costs them nothing. Many resist buying the apple watch because there is no round model, it is more if Apple had originally released a second circular model Samsung would never have been able to release its interface because surely Apple would have thought of it first, but no way, shrimp that sleeps is carried away by the current
