Those from Cupertino iPhones are close to completing their transition to OLED panels With the iPhone SE 4 to be introduced in the spring of 2024. Although this is not as important as the success they are about to achieve. Foxconn announced that it is partnering with the company Porotech to bring microLED panels to future augmented reality glasses and other devices. Apple may bring microLED to its devices, especially with iPhone and Apple Watch.

MicroLED is Apple’s next bet as a display for its devices

Cupertino natives start using simple backlit LCD panels for their products. These panels were later augmented with miniLED backlighting and later gradually incorporated OLED as well. The latest examples of OLED products are the iPad Pro, introduced in May.

The current plan is to bring OLED to other devices soon, such as MacBooks and other iPad series.. As we mentioned earlier, the iPhone SE is the latest iPhone to switch to OLED. Now, Cupertinos consider microLED as the next major evolution in their products. Users Brighter displays, more accurate colors, durable and better energy efficiency. The most representative advantage about OLED is that the microLED display does not have the “burn-in effect”.

micro LED technology.

Foxconn will start mass production of microLEDs by the end of 2025

The statement said that this collaboration “aims to meet the production demands of microdisplay chips and augmented reality glasses.” “High-performance, high-brightness, compact and lightweight” displays expected with the aim of concretely advancing the “global development” of technology for both augmented reality glasses and microdisplays.

Mass production is planned to start in the last quarter of 2025. The first products we will see with this type of panels will be developed with a sufficient number of panels for application starting from 2026. Unfortunately, no further details were given about the brands that will be the first to receive this award, but it was stated that it will “meet the needs of mainstream global customers of the future”.

Apple Watch Series 10 has a gorgeous display

Apple is its main customer and we have no doubt that priority in the implementation of these panels can be given to Cupertino.. Besides the iPhone, another pending product that was previously known to feature such a panel was the Apple Watch. We can now say that the cancellation or postponement of the plan was due to the technology not being ready for development.. Another product that will arrive on time according to launch plans will be Apple Vision Pro.

As we’ve seen with OLED, Apple will have to decide next year what path it will take in terms of products that will implement it primarily and then as part of its own transition cycle.
