Much has already been speculated about the possible adoption of the technology Micro-LED no Apple Watch, although it is not yet known exactly when the product will gain a display with this technology. According to new rumors, however, we will have to wait even longer for this change to be effective on a new watch.

For the analyst Ming-Chi Kuothe Apple Watch to be released in 2024 will not have a Micro-LED display. According to Kuo’s latest predictions, only the watch model to be released in 2025 would count on the change. He also stated that he “wouldn’t be surprised” if the adoption only takes place in 2026.

This speculation is in line with what the TrendForce consultancy predicted a few months ago, in the sense that the Apple Watch Ultra should only get a Micro-LED display in 2026; for Jeff Pu e Ross YoungHowever, the new product could hit the market as early as 2025. Kuo did not differentiate between the conventional models of the Ultra line, only mentioning when he expects the change to occur.

As happened with the adoption of the OLED screenOrganic light-emitting diodeor organic light-emitting diode.”>1 On iPhones, the Micro-LED display will offer interesting upgrades in terms of user experience, including in relation to OLED technology. Among the improvements, we can highlight greater brightness and sharper images, as well as high contrast levels. Apple is also expected to expand the implementation of this display to iPhones, iPads and finally, Macs.

Predictions about the future of the Apple Watch

In addition to comments on the adoption of the Micro-LED display, Kuo shared predictions about the Apple Watch’s market performance in the future and Apple’s strategy for the product. According to the analyst, in 2023, the number of the company’s smart watches should to decrease about 15% in relation to 2022, reaching 36-38 million of units.

Regarding the model to be launched in 2024, which will be the tenth generation of the product, Kuo said it is unlikely that there will be “significant innovative experiments”. This prediction goes against another rumor that was previously circulated, which claimed that the models to be presented next year could have different sizes and several other new features.

It is possible, therefore, that the launch of this commemorative model will only take place in 2025. Another possibility is that the special edition will follow a different schedule or be launched together with other models from the conventional Apple Watches lines, so that the Micro-LED display could be introduced at one of these moments.

The expected blood glucose meter, in turn, “probably” will not be available in 2024 and possibly not in 2025 either, according to Kuo. He added that the Apple Watch is a product that, in general, is successful through the repositioning strategy — and this could be done, depending on the pace of production/sales, if there is a drop in units sold again in 2024.

Finally, the analyst stated that he believes that there will be some type of integration between the Apple Vision ProMaçã’s mixed reality headset, and the Apple Watch — in order to create an “unparalleled and innovative” health management experience to encourage the purchase of both devices.
