Apple is reportedly planning to build MicroLED displays into future Apple Watch models \u2014 either in 2024 or 2025, according to a January 10th report from Bloomberg<\/em>. The move would continue Apple’s progression toward using the company’s own parts across its products without having to rely on components from outside suppliers. Another report from Mark Gurman just this week said that Apple is currently at work on an all-in-one chip that handles Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular networking. The company’s in-house silicon already powers the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

With all of these efforts, the end goal for Apple is to have greater control over future products with less risk of delays and setbacks that are out of the company’s control. With screens in particular, such a shift could impact the financial outlook for suppliers like Samsung Display and LG Display, which provide the bulk of Apple’s current panels. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But as it stands today, whether you’re buying the Apple Watch Series 8, Ultra, or SE, you’re already<\/em> getting a smartwatch with a bright, vivid display. So it’s worth examining what benefits \u2014 if any \u2014 this next-generation MicroLED technology would bring to Apple’s wearables and other devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
