Apple is bringing microLED panels to its devices very soon. The tech giant will make the switch late next year or in early 2025 with the launch of the 2nd generation Apple Watch Ultra.
With this development, Apple devices will move from organic light-emitting diode (OLED) to micro light-emitting diode display (MicroLED). This would add more brightness and improved contrast ratio to the displays of Apple devices.
Even though the second generation Apple Watch Ultra is expected to rock the updated display first, iPad and iPhone devices would also eventually get the technology.
A report by Digitimes claims that this transition from OLED to microLED display will begin by the end of 2024 or early 2025. The company first assess how the displays will work on the Ultra Watch and then extend the same to iPhones and iPads.
The report quoted South Korea's state-owned research institute Information & Communication Technology Promotion (IITP) to suggest that this switch will affect Samsung Display and LG.

Apple is also currently trying to use its own in-house microLED displays on its smartwatches as early as the end of next year to limit its reliance on Samsung and LG. This would give Apple the freedom to use its own displays on its products instead of depending on components from third-party suppliers. However, this is expected to take a while.
Earlier, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman had stated that Apple might take an entire decade to install the superior displays on its iPhone, iPad, and Mac lineup.
The upcoming iteration of the flagship device, the iPhone 15 series, including the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, are expected to launch in September this year and is expected to stick with OLED displays.
