After the Christmas period, the time for rumors has arrived, or at least the roadmap of what Apple is going to prepare for us in the coming months. While waiting for the launch of the iPhone 15 in its different variants, which will only take place in the last quarter of this recently started year 2023, the time has come to talk about Apple Watch.
The smartwatch of the Cupertino company will receive a big change facing 2025, and it will not be its design, but its screen. Knowing that the OLED panel of the current Apple Watch already delights users, what motivates Apple to make this decision?
According to analyst Jeff Pu, Apple not only plans to make a technology change regarding the Apple Watch panel, but would also take advantage of this small change to enlarge the size of it. We remember that currently the Apple Watch has a variant of no less than 45 millimeters, not counting the exuberant Apple Watch Ultra.
The rumor of micro-LED screens has been around the Apple scene since 20129, when various analysts pointed to the first major renewal of the Apple Watch, which on the other hand never came.
We remember that Apple used OLED panels with the launch of the iPhone X in 2017. In theory, at least on paper, a micro-LED screen would offer better autonomy given that it is more efficient. This will significantly improve the battery life of the Apple Watch due to its size and functionality, not so much on the iPhone, where it would be a little more complex to scrape off a few minutes of battery life.
At any rate, the launch of an Apple Watch with a micro-LED panel as these analysts point out, It’s still a long way off, by 2025 many aspects of technology, innovation and wearables in general may change.
