Remember those rumors about an iPhone rocking a microLED display? A new report from Nikkei Asia claims Apple is working to make that idea a reality, and is taking control of its own display manufacturing. That way it lessens its reliance on other display manufacturers (primarily Samsung) while having better control over supply.
Apparently Apple has spent over $1 billion on microLED research over the past decade, and is prepping to take direct control once production actually begins. This means the “mass transfer”, which involves placing the microLEDs onto the display substrate, will be done by Apple itself.
