Will the Apple Watch with a microLED display launch in 2026?

According to AppleInsider , analysts from Apple's supply chain are once again trying to determine the release timeline for the Apple Watch microLED smartwatch, with the latest predictions suggesting the wearable device will hit the market in 2026.

Predictions about the upcoming Apple Watch microLED, expected to launch in 2026, were provided by TrendForce's Senior Vice President of Research, Eric Chiou. During a conference call in Japan, he predicted that future Apple Watches will utilize a MicroLED display and have a larger screen size (2.12 inches). This screen size would bring it closer to the Apple Watch Ultra.

MicroLED technology is an improvement over OLED, offering a higher pixel density on smaller screens. MicroLED also has other advantages such as brighter and sharper images compared to OLED.

Although both OLED and MicroLED can achieve extremely high local dimming and near-infinite contrast, MicroLED panels offer better control over displayed content. For example, Apple Watch users with MicroLED displays can see sharper text, brighter screens in sunlight, and minimize burn-in (permanent pixel damage) that sometimes occurs with OLED displays.

Previous rumors suggested that the Apple Watch microLED would be released in 2025, but new reports now indicate that this date has been delayed.
