It's no secret that Apple plans to change the type of screen used in its smartwatches. It is said that in the case of watches that will premiere in 2024, the previously used OLED screens will be replaced by microLED screens. This is confirmed by other sources.

Ultimately, Apple wants to be responsible for the production of the microLED screens used, but at the moment the company is unable to meet this and for this reason it is necessary to cooperate with other display manufacturers. The first smartwatch from Apple to receive a microLED display will be the Apple Watch Ultra from 2024. Initial plans assume that at least 60% of the displays needed to produce this watch will be made by Samsung and LG.
