Apple Watch Ultra (and AR glasses) to adopt microLED sooner than expected

Apple is expected to expand its Vision line-up of "spatial computing" wearables with a new form-factor much more like AR glasses (like these XREAL Air 2 Pros on Amazon) than the full headset of the current Pro flagship.

The glasses might be easier on the face (if not the wallet) - and come with potentially advanced displays made of microLED rather than OLED, according to the leaker Jukanlosreve. The putative first-gen Apple Glasses (or iGlass?) might launch alongside a next-gen Watch Ultra with the same kind of screen.

Furthermore, these devices are now tipped to launch in 2026, whereas earlier leaks pertaining to the first-gen Apple glasses and future Watch Ultra pointed to delays for both devices that could extend to 2027.

Should Apple really mount a challenge to products such as the 'smart' Ray-Bans, hopefully the Cupertino giant's take can be more privacy-focused than Meta's application and its potential for creepy personal data intrusions.
