Apple will use microLEDs in augmented reality glasses and the Apple Watch Ultra 2026
By ForGeeks Earlier this year, Apple canceled an order for microLED displays intended for the Apple Watch Ultra 3, leading many to believe that the tech giant was moving away from this advanced display technology. However, a fresh rumor suggests that Apple is far from giving up on microLED.
An Apple Watch Ultra 3 is now available for the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
A reputable source says Apple is still investing in microLED technology and plans to use it in the Apple Watch Ultra, which will be released in 2026 — a year earlier than expected in February. But the watch —s not the only device in which Apple plans to use this advanced display.
The same source claims that Apple plans to integrate microLED panels into its long-awaited AR glasses, which are also slated for mass production in 2026. If these rumors are confirmed, this year could be a pivotal year for Apple as it fully integrates microLED into its wearable devices and AR devices.
MicroLED technology promises many benefits, including higher energy efficiency, brighter displays, improved contrast, and longer lifespan than the OLED panels currently in use. Its inclusion in Apple products could mean a big leap in display quality, changing the user experience in both wearable devices and augmented reality technologies.
