The technical and cost challenges faced by Apple in adopting micro LED technology

According to the analysis of well-known industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple’s latest trend has not revealed signs of developing Apple Watch Ultra 3, which also means that the next-generation Apple Watch Ultra may not be launched next year.

Ming-Chi Kuo pointed out that if Apple won't launch Apple Watch Ultra until December 3 project, the product will almost certainly not debut in 2024. This view has triggered speculation in the industry about Apple's new product release plans.

According to analysts, if Apple does not update the Apple Watch Ultra, the possible reason is that the company is stepping up its efforts to promote the mass production of micro LED screens. According to sources, Apple plans to first use micro LED screen technology on the Apple Watch Ultra series, and then gradually apply this technology to iPhone, iPad and other product lines to replace traditional OLED screens

Compared with traditional OLED panels, micro LED screens have many advantages, including high brightness, high contrast, ultra-low latency, and wide viewing angles. In addition, due to micro LED uses inorganic materials, so it consumes less power, can withstand high and low temperatures, and has a longer lifespan. Compared with organic materials, OLED has a screen burn-in problem because organic materials have a limited service life, and micro LEDs don’t have to worry about this and can even last longer before changing colors, making them comparable to LCD technology.

However, Ming-Chi Kuo also pointed out that although micro LED technology has many advantages, but due to high technical precision requirements and a stable mass production mechanism, its cost is relatively high. This also means that Apple needs to overcome a series of challenges in technology and production before it can widely adopt micro in future products. LED screen technology.
