We heard some details about the 2020 iPhones earlier today and now it looks like we have some information on the 2020 Apple Watch.
Apple are rumored to be switching from OLED displays on their Apple Watch to microLED displays, previous rumors had suggested this would happen with this years model. According to a recent report we will have to wait until the 2020 Apple Watch for these new displays.
Advantages of MicroLED Technology
These new microLED displays will bring battery life improvements to the Apple Watch, as the displays are more efficient than normal LED displays. MicroLED technology offers several advantages over traditional OLED displays. For instance, microLEDs are known for their superior brightness and contrast ratios, which can significantly enhance the visual experience. Additionally, microLEDs are less prone to burn-in, a common issue with OLED screens where static images can leave a permanent mark on the display.
Moreover, microLEDs can be made thinner and lighter, which is particularly beneficial for wearable devices like the Apple Watch. This could potentially lead to a slimmer design or more room for other components, such as a larger battery or additional sensors. The energy efficiency of microLEDs also means that users can expect longer battery life, which is a crucial factor for a device that is meant to be worn all day.
What to Expect from the Apple Watch 5
Apple are expected to launch their new Apple Watch 5 some time in September, the device is expected to be unveiled at Apple’s iPhone 11 press event in September. While the 2020 model is anticipated to feature the new microLED technology, the Apple Watch 5 is still expected to bring several exciting updates. Rumors suggest that the Apple Watch 5 may include new health monitoring features, such as sleep tracking and improved heart rate monitoring. There is also speculation about the inclusion of new materials for the watch casing, such as titanium or ceramic, which could offer more durability and aesthetic options for consumers.
In addition to hardware improvements, the Apple Watch 5 is likely to come with software enhancements through watchOS 6. This new operating system is expected to introduce a variety of new apps and features, including a dedicated App Store for the Apple Watch, new watch faces, and additional health and fitness tracking capabilities. These updates aim to make the Apple Watch not just a timepiece, but a comprehensive health and fitness companion.
