The Apple Watch Ultra 2 was a fairly modest upgrade on what was already the best Apple Watch in the lineup, but as ever, we're looking to what's next. Reports have consistently suggested that Apple is planning to roll out microLED displays to multiple product lines, including the iPad and Mac, but that it'd also come to the Apple Watch Ultra and replace the existing OLED panel.
We had originally expected the new displays to arrive on the Ultra lineup in 2025, as analysts such as Ross Young had predicted (thanks, MacRumors), but a new report from The Elec (via MacRumors) suggests the MicroLED Apple Watch is likely to be delayed due to issues with manufacturing costs and production yields. The report said it's likely to slip past 2026 into 2027, and even that date may be overly optimistic.
