Apple has been making waves in the tech industry for years, and its Apple Watch has been a fan favourite since its introduction. The smartwatch has been continuously updated and improved upon, and fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of the first Apple Watch with a microLED display. However, according to display supply chain analyst Ross Young, the launch of the microLED Apple Watch Ultra has been pushed back to the second half of 2025.
This news might come as a disappointment to some Apple Watch fans who were hoping to see the new display technology sooner rather than later. However, the delay is not entirely unexpected, given the production challenges and increased manufacturing costs associated with microLED displays. Apple has been working on developing in-house microLED displays since its takeover of LuxVue in 2014, and it seems that the company is taking its time to get the technology right before releasing it to the public.
While the delay of the microLED Apple Watch Ultra might be disappointing, there is still plenty to look forward to in the Apple Watch lineup. Young suggests that the 2021 Apple Watch lineup will see only incremental updates, so fans can expect some improvements to the existing models, but nothing revolutionary.

The microLED Apple Watch Ultra is expected to have a 2.1-inch display, a blood pressure sensor, and a blood glucose level monitor, making it a highly anticipated release. However, fans will have to wait a few more years to get their hands on this new technology. In the meantime, Apple will likely continue to make improvements to the existing Apple Watch models, ensuring that they remain the top choice for smartwatch enthusiasts.
It’s important to remember that these are just rumours, and while Ross Young has a good track record when it comes to predicting Apple’s moves, nothing is certain until Apple makes an official announcement. Nevertheless, fans can be sure that Apple is always working on new and innovative products, and the delay of the microLED Apple Watch Ultra is likely a sign that the company is taking its time to ensure that the new technology is perfected before releasing it to the public.
