Apple's new smart watch nipped in the bud?

According to several rumors previously published, Apple had the ambition to present us with aconnected watch with micro-LED panel. This technology makes it possible to offer better image quality, with, among other things,deeper blacks and wider contrast range. But according to new information just published in the specialized press, this future device has simply been canceled.

According to the journalist ofBloombergMark Gurman, whom we regularly relay, Apple would have found micro-LED technologytoo complexto develop. The company would then have chosen to abandon its Watch project equipped with this advantage. As is often the case, Cupertino has not confirmed this file for the moment: the company remains discreet about its future innovations.

It's not that bad!

Let us point out, despite everything, that the Apple Watch screens are already of very good quality these days. It is therefore not really necessary to do better, moreover it is very likely that users will ultimately see nothing but light if they compare their possible micro-LED model to the display of a previous generation.

Among the significant advantages of current Apple Watch screens, we can notably cite thebrightnessnews recordSecond generation Apple Watch Ultra. This allows it to be used in direct sunlight without worry, as is now offered by certain high-end iPhones orMacBook Pro. We also know that the panels of smartwatches are equipped with LTPO technology, which allows the frame rate to be adapted according to use. The ProMotion refresh rate of one hundred and twenty frames per second on Macs and some mobiles also works on this principle.

A new model planned soon?

A new Apple Watch model could see the light of day inseptember, like every year since 2015. Without micro-LED, therefore, but some whisper that the design will seriously change for the first time compared to the versions of recent years. The name “Apple Watch Series X” is mentioned for this edition, but without confirmation there too.
