So the clock won't come out yet
Apple, according to early rumors, is going to use MicroLED screens for its Watch Ultra smartwatches in the foreseeable future. However, it turned out that these screens are too expensive.
It is reported that the original plans for the release of such watches in 2026 may not be feasible. The bottom line is that a MicroLED display for Apple smartwatches will currently cost Apple itself $150! For comparison, the OLED screen for the current generation of watches costs $38.
Although the Watch Ultra is very expensive, of course, such a significant increase in the price of one of the components is unacceptable for Apple. As a result, the company has not yet set up a supply chain for such panels for the production of new watches. However, over time, of course, MicroLED displays will begin to become cheaper.
