If you've been hankering after the Apple Watch Ultra 2 but wanted to wait for the long-rumoured microLED model, you don't need to wait any longer: Apple appears to have cancelled its plans to use the next generation of display tech in its wearables for the foreseeable future. That means the Apple Watch X, which is expected to be the next generation of Apple Watch, will have an OLED display.
The microLED Apple Watch has been the subject of leaks and rumours for what feels like an eternity. It was originally rumoured to be a 2024 product, but the leaks have moved that back several times now and the most recent prediction was a 2025 release. However there have since been reports strongly suggesting that the project was dead in the water, and a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman confirms that the microLED Apple Watch Ultra is no longer in development.
