In the rumor mill for one Apple Watch the sixth generation there was speculation about MicroLED as display technology. But now a revelation journalist commented on the topic and more or less pulls the plug out of the imagination. Apple wouldn’t use MicroLED in his smartwatch in 2020.
How much new does the Series 6 Apple Watch bring?
From the customer’s perspective, one wonders how much new will the next generation of a product bring? If the manufacturer only maintains the model, one may resort to the previous model, which is then offered at a lower price. But innovations cannot be forced and published at the push of a button. There are enough examples to show that patience is a virtue that pays off in the end.

The MicroLED topic does indeed hover over Apple’s device production like a sword of Damocles. Because the concert made investments in the segment and there were already indications of this in 2018that the company wants to gradually equip its devices with MicroLED displays. Analysts such as Ming-Chi Kuo recently claimed that Apple wanted to supply various devices with the new display technology. The beginning, some prophets agreed, should be the Apple Watch. Last but not least, the clever wristwatch was also Apple’s first device with an OLED display.
Facebook snatches Apple Plessey away
At the end of March 2020, it will be announced that Facebook and the British company Plessey are entering into an exclusive cooperation. The company has experience in the manufacture of micro LED displays. On Facebook, virtual reality gadgets in particular could benefit from the step.
But the press coverage claimed that Facebook Apple “snapped” the company. Was that why the plans were delayed? Or because of the coronavirus pandemic? In early May, however, there was evidence that Apple was making an investment in a mini and micro LED production company in Taiwan. In any case, it remains exciting.
