A next-gen Apple Watch with a MicroLED display could arrive as soon as 2020, according to a new report from the Chinese-language Economic Daily News. The report adds that Apple is already in contact with display manufacturers in Taiwan and that mass production will likely begin early enough to allow for a full-fledged launch during the fall of 2020. This of course aligns with Apple’s release cycle given that every iteration of the Apple Watch — save for the first-gen model — launched in September.
Notably, Apple’s interest in MicroLED displays is a rumor we’ve seen pop up quite a bit over the past few years. About 15 months ago, for example, a report surfaced indicating that Apple has been operating a secret manufacturing facility in California, staffed with 300 engineers solely tasked with developing MicroLED display technology. It was assumed at the time that this development was geared towards future iPhone models, but it appears that the display technology will hit the Apple Watch first.
