We’ve heard a lot about Apple’s upcoming Watch Ultra with microLED display, but every time a report comes out, it paints a more pessimistic picture. The latest analysis comes from The Elect and suggests that Apple’s high-end smartwatch with microLED technology will arrive no earlier than 2027.
Supply chain analysts believe Apple won’t be able to secure enough microLED displays at a reasonable price before that. The current Watch Ultra display reportedly costs Apple $40 to assemble, while the microLED screens will likely cost around $150.
This is a huge cost for Apple to bear, especially if it wants to sell the Watch at a premium with a decent margin, as it usually does.
This report claims that the Apple Watch Ultra with microLED could launch in 2027 or even later. It will take some time for manufacturers to refine production and reduce costs enough for Apple to agree.
