Apple delayed the release of the second generation Apple Watch Ultra due to problems in the production of MicroLED displays. In this respect informs South Korean edition of The Elec.
The previous day, Ross Young, the founder and analyst of Display Supply Chain Consultants, reported that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 will be released in 2025. According to new data, the device is expected to hit the market only in 2026. The reason for the delay was Apple’s problems in the production of MicroLED displays. This is a new type of matrix that is more energy efficient, thinner, more contrast and more durable than conventional OLED panels.
Apple partners have already mastered micro LED technology, but mass production is still expensive. As the company has already invested more than $1 billion in the development and research of MicroLED, Apple is looking forward to innovations that will allow it to cut costs.
The Elec writes that mass production of MicroLED displays is initially scheduled for the second quarter of 2025. Now, it is reported that this will only happen in the first quarter of 2026.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is said to be the American computing giant’s first device with a MicroLED display.
