MicroLEDs Not Part of the Apple Watch Series 6
June 07, 2020
A new leak revealed that the Apple Watch Series 6 will continue using the LTPO OLED rather than switching to a MicroLED. A post by a known leaker with the Twitter handler @L0vetodream previewed what the Apple Watch Series 6 for its customers. The Twitter post that the upcoming smartwatch will continue to use the JDI display. JDI is Apple’s OLED display supplier for the past two years. It started supplying for Apple Watch models and progressed its business with the tech giant as time went on. The leak countered speculation that the Apple Watch Series 6 will feature a MicroLED display. Apple has been using the OLED screen for Apple Watch since 2014. The tech giant decided to use the said technology for iPhone X in 2017.
Reports say that since 2017, Apple tested the MicroLED screen on the Apple Watch. Rumors then spread that the Apple Watch Series 6 could be Apple’s pioneer in using the said screen technology. The talk began after Apple’s purchase of a manufacturing facility spread online. The tech giant reportedly has a hidden facility in Santa Clara, California where the company is a design and production site. for MicroLEDs.
Since the news about the Apple Watch Series 6 spread, speculators said the smartwatch will come with a MicroLED screen, because the upcoming watch would be loaded with innovations. Among the expected features to come along Apple Watch Series 6 is the better water resistance, faster cellular and Wi-Fi speed due to its improved wireless transmission.
The big flaw in @L0vetodream tweet is that JDI makes OLEDs with LTPS OLEDs used for Series 4 and earlier Apple watches, since they have very low capacity and have not upgraded to the new LTPO technology.
