Current scuttlebutt from Bloomberg suggests that Apple's current strategy is to adopt micro-LED screens for all its tech products hitting the market. As of now, the incorporation of Apple's micro-LED screen backlight technology is still in its infancy, with no product currently embracing this technology. The Apple Watch sticks to OLED panels, while the MacBook Pro 14/16-inch and the latest iPad Pro 12.9' still rely on miniLED technology.As you may be aware, there are rumors swirling around the second-generation Apple Watch Ultra set to debut around 2024. It's speculated to feature a micro-LED screen instead of the current LPTO OLED. Although the OLED display of the Apple Watch Ultra is optimized to showcase certain details, maintaining a pixel ratio on the screen at a threshold of 2000 nits, the future adoption of miniLED or micro-LED remains a promising prospect—more cost-effective, brighter, while still retaining contrast comparable to organic light-emitting diode technology.
Mark Gurman of Bloomberg Predicts Apple's Micro-LED RevolutionThe catch is, according to Gurman, micro-LED technology is still very new, requiring time to mature for commercialization. Shrinking the size of LED pixels compared to miniLED, creating optimal dimming zones, remains a challenge.In Gurman's words: Don't forget the transition process of the iPad from LCD to OLED. While the iPhone has been equipped with OLED screens for the past 6 years, the iPad is yet to make the switch. Therefore, 10 years, for Apple, is a reasonable timeframe to perfect a display technology rich in advantages. It not only excels in brightness and contrast but also ensures factors like display color and viewing angles, surpassing both miniLED and OLED.As reported by 9to5Mac
