Apple Watch microLED screen launched in 2026?

According to AppleInsider , analysts from Apple's supply chain are once again trying to determine the release timeframe of the Apple Watch microLED smartwatch, with the latest prediction suggesting that the wearable will appear on the market in 2026.

The prediction of the appearance of the Apple Watch microLED will be released in 2026 was provided by TrendForce Senior Vice President of Research Eric Chiou. During a conference in Japan, he predicted that the future Apple Watch will use a MicroLED screen and will be larger (2.12 inches). This screen size makes it more similar to the Apple Watch Ultra.

MicroLED technology is an improvement over OLED, offering greater pixel density on a small screen. MicroLED has other advantages such as brighter and sharper images than OLED.

While both OLED and MicroLED can achieve extremely high local dimming and near-infinite contrast, MicroLED panels will have better control over what they display. For example, Apple Watch users with MicroLED displays will see sharper text, brighter screens in sunlight, and less burn-in (permanent pixel burn-in) that sometimes occurs with OLED displays.

Previous rumors had indicated that the microLED Apple Watch would be released in 2025, but now new reports suggest that date has been delayed.
