When Apple announced the Apple Vision Pro headset, one of the features it made a big deal about is how detailed the screens are, delivering more pixels than are in one of the best 4K TVs to each eye. In our hands-on Apple Vision Pro review, we said that "Imagery in general is fantastic," and that combining the high-quality external cameras with the super-detailed screen meant that "instead of a grainy or limited view of the outside world, it looked almost as if I was peering through clear glass."
What you may have missed in the Vision Pro announcement is how the headset achieves this: a cutting-edge screen technology called "micro-OLED". As the name implies, this is similar to the tech used in the OLED screens you'll find on the likes of the iPhone 14 Pro or Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra… but, well, smaller. Actually, that's underplaying it, because it's a lot smaller, and that's not the only advantage it has.
