According to the well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Japan Display to supply OLED displays for the new 5 series Apple Watch launching in the second half of 2019.
They will most likely be presented at the next Apple Keynote that is expected for the month of September, along with the new iPhone 11.
In a Press release of TF International Securities shared today with chinese media, Kuo Forecasts Japan Display to Gradually Increase Its Order Ratio for OLED Displays for the Apple Watch, starting with 15-20 percent of orders in 2019 and reaching 70-80 percent in 2021.
Kuo believes that it will gradually increase the proportion of LG's OLED display supply for iPhone, and use the Chinese manufacturer BOE as an additional supplier, in an attempt to diversify the supply chain, something very common at Apple.
Models of the new Apple Watch series 5 will likely be unveiled next month, along with the trio of new iPhones. This is nothing new, as all previous Apple Watch series have been released in September.
There has been very few leaks about the new series. Only what he anticipated is known Kuo days ago, a new ceramic housing design, and the expansion of the list of countries that accept the use of the new ECG function implemented in the current series 4, but without specifying that it was for a new series. Reuters It also reported that Japan Display would begin supplying displays for the watch, but did not specify that it would be for a new series either.
Other rumors suggest that the new series is going to adopt solid state buttons, which do not physically click, but instead provide haptic feedback to the user when the button is touched. Apple already introduced this system for the digital crown in the series 4, and now the haptic feedback could be extended to the side button.
