It is an open secret that Apple is going to take a leap in image quality in several of its devices. On the one hand, we have the first OLED iPad, which is expected to arrive in 2024. And we also know that the company with the bitten apple plans to launch a microLED Apple Watch in 2026.Although later we will talk in detail about the benefits of this image technology that we have begun to see in some televisions of thee ultra premium range , there are more details revealed.

 

All thanks to the colleagues at MacRumors, who have echoed a report from TrendForce, where they point to the launch of a Apple Watch Ultra microLED in 2026.

 

What we know about the Apple Watch Ultra microLED

In addition, there will be other notable changes. For starters, the Apple Watch Ultra has a 1.93-inch screen size, while the upcoming microLED model will feature a 2.12-inch screen.

 

We are talking about a fairly notable increase in size, although it will also affect its price. Yes, the first Apple Watch with a microLED screen will have a significantly higher cost. According to the TrendForce report, the manufacturing price of the panel will be $120, which makes it clear that it won't exactly be cheap. Although it makes sense, seeing the advantages that this technology offers.To start, microLED displays can offer greater energy efficiency compared to OLEDs, as they allow pixels to be turned on and off individually.

 

In addition, microLED displays tend to be brighter than OLED displays, which could improve screen readability in direct sunlight. So it will be an ideal companion for the Apple Watch.

 

Not to mention the improvement in color reproduction accuracy and a higher contrast ratio compared to OLEDs, which would result in an improved viewing experien

ce.

And, no less important, this type of technology stands out for its great resistance compared to an OLED, so there will be no problem of pixel burning on an Apple Watch microLED.

 

Finally, the pixelsxels are smaller on a microLED display, so there will be a better screen resolution in a small space , giving a new leap in quality to the Apple Watch. It is even possible to reduce its price, since it is a lighter and more flexible material.

 

At the moment it is nothing more than a rumor, and we will have to wait for the firm to officially announce its arrival, but for now it is clear that this Apple Watch microLED will have a lot what to offer.
