Apple Watch Ultra may get larger Micro-LED display in 2024: Report
The 2024 Apple Watch Ultra will have a larger Micro LED panel instead of an OLED. For those who are unaware, Micro LED is an alternative to OLED which has higher colour accuracy and brightness levels.
Late last year, Apple unveiled the Apple Watch Series 8 and its first Apple Watch Ultra. Targeted towards sports, the Apple Watch Ultra offers a variety of functions that are made for endurance, discovery, and adventure. The largest and brightest Apple Watch display to date is seen on the 49mm titanium casing of the Apple Watch Ultra. The tech giant apparently intends to use Micro LED technology for its replacement next year.
In a letter to investors obtained by the media, Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu predicts that the lack of a big spec upgrade would cause Apple Watch sales to decline in 2023.
