Apple continues with its plan to provide iPhone with the best features for its users. According to a new report from Digitimes, Apple may be releasing an iPhone with a micro LED display in the future. Direct benefits will be better screen brightness, lower power consumption and better contrast ratio compared to OLED displays. When would they be released? A full transition may take up to ten years.

Other devices other than iPhone will have micro LEDs

Not to be confused with the mini LED already out on the iPad Pro. Mini LED is the technology found behind an LCD substrate that refers directly to the backlight.

Micro LEDs have similar performance to OLEDs with the difference that they can shine brighter without considering the details of their lifetime.. They use self-illuminating pixels with multi-colored LEDs that offer a precise image that does not require backlighting.

This is what the mini LED screen looks like (iPad Pro 2021)

However, the report indicates that the Apple Watch Ultra will be the first device to adopt micro LED technology. The iPhone and iPad will be next, but we’ll have to wait until 2024 or 2025 for that. Apple’s goal is to develop its own micro LED display. Currently, the production technology is very expensive, so It seems that Apple wants to get involved in the environment in order to reduce costs in the coming years..

To highlight and highlight a few micro LED advantages. The technology could be more flexible as it can be built using different screen parts. HDR control is much better than other technologies.

micro LED technology.

The direct downside, as we discussed earlier, is that it is expensive. One reason is that it consists of groups of one-millimetre pixels. which creates a single module. Those used on large screens to avoid loss of resolution.

OLED will continue to feature on the next iPhone, iPad and Mac soon

It is completely true that the iPhone 15 will have an OLED display. and maybe the iPhone 16, when Apple was the last to adopt OLED for the iPhone. Being a “new” technology, maybe those in Cupertino prefer to include it in the iPhone Pro and later generations. take it to all devices in range.

Interestingly, Apple is completing the transition of its devices to OLED. iPad and Mac with this type of screen are still missing. The path of OLED at Apple started with the first generation Apple Watch, and then the iPhone X became the first Apple flagship device to have it.
