Why the wait for 2024 is worth it
The rumor mill does not reveal much about the Apple Watch Series 9, but an expert is not already expecting the big thing. Instead, it could be worth waiting for 2024, because then Apple is planning a visible new feature.
Apple Watch 9: It’s going downhill
The Apple Watch Series 8 wasn’t a particularly big leap compared to its predecessor, and the 2023 Apple Watch models will probably be a bit boring for those who have been waiting for a major upgrade. Industry expert Jeff Pu assumes the same. The expected that Sales of the Apple Watch even in 2023 due to “lack of significant upgrades”. sink will. Pretty disappointing, but on the other hand it also gives hope for 2024 (source: 9to5Mac).
Then, according to the experts, Apple should go with them Micro LED a completely new screen technology adapt, but not for the then expected Apple Watch 10, but initially for the Apple Watch Ultra.
The Apple Watch Ultra already offers much more than the regular Apple Watch:
Apple Watch Ultra 2024: Micro LED and larger display
Micro LED is considered a better alternative to OLED, could still be higher brightness levels with higher color accuracy, but is still more expensive than classic OLED technology or Mini LED. An introduction of the technology with the Apple Watch is quite conceivable, since Apple’s first OLED screen was in the Apple Watch long before the iPhone. Due to the rather small screen, the smart watch is ideal for the premiere of such expensive “display experiments”.
Speaking of “small display”. In the case of the Apple Watch Ultra, this could then not only have Mirco-LEDs in 2024, but also grow in size. Pu promises an enlargement of current 1.93 inches to 2.1 inches. Sounds like little, but is relatively visible due to the compact dimensions in the end. However, the case does not necessarily have to be larger because Apple could simply narrow the edges of the titanium watch.
This feature is still missing from every Apple Watch:
It is still unclear whether Apple will even update the Apple Watch Ultra this year, but a major upgrade will probably not come until 2024 with micro-LED technology. Either way: The Apple Watch Ultra mutated to Apple’s new Smartwatch Primus. The standard model is being pushed more and more into the background, a development that will continue to manifest itself in the future.
