Speaking of the Apple Car, it feels like we're due for another round of "Apple Car team expands" stories, followed by "Apple Car team sees several key exits" stories.

Custom MicroLED Displays Could Be Heading to the iPhone, Vision Pro, and Apple Car

So first in AW in 3 years… so this will take then at a minimum 5 years to get to an iPhone, leave alone ipad, Macs…
And then supposedly LG bought patents as “reported” earlier today…

Apple Car is nothing more than a bullet point in Tim Cook's Notes page under: Wishful thinking
Tesla: currently building the highest demand EVs on earth and ancillary SpaceX is building reusable rockets
Apple: hold my beer: dynamic island

Naa. Apple actually talked about AirPower; they have never mentioned an Apple Car..
Why compare Apple to Tesla and SpaceX? They aren't in even remotely related markets. Might as well compare Apple to what Caterpillar is building.
Because the articles ties the microLED tech to the non-existent Apple Car
The headline on macrumors did. The article didn't mention the car at all.
Look how mindblowing Vision Pro is. Imagine what Apple will produce with Apple Car. Forget self driving how about self flying.
Other than the Apple Watch having microLED in maybe 2026 (with a huge price increase), it will be highly unlikely if Apple has any other microLED devices in this decade. 🙁
The iPhone 14 Pro is saving lives while Musk’s Tesla is beheading people… 😉

Off topic and the worst analogy I’ve ever seen.
And there's still people that think Apple just buys off-the-shelf components to assemble their products, and charges an exorbitant rate. I suppose some could say that about their RAM prices. 🤣
…and replace parts currently supplied by companies like Samsung and LG.
This is confusing, as this previous article mentions that LG would be making them for Apple?

I can see how non-Apple folk cringe at so many people using iPhones. I get that feeling every time I see a Telsa. It's like they are a cancer.... but a good one for the planet.

"replace parts", not suppliers. It doesn't mean LG is being replaced, just what LG is currently supplying to Apple.
They said the same when the iPhone 4 came out, then got better somehow with OLED. So now will we be able to feel the pixels on the screen like the texture of oil paint on a canvas? 😂
The funny thing about MicroLED is that 99% of people think this technology has already existed for 20+ years.
(i.e., a bunch of small pixels that emit light.)

Not to sidetrack, but the iPhone 4 display was the first time that I was actually impressed by a phone screen.
Much like Apple’s shift to their in-house designed SoC‘s rocketed them ahead in with performance and efficiency, they’re pushing forward to deliver a micro-LED alternative to OLED should give them more control in their supply chain and differentiate them from the competition. Hopefully they and their production partners are resolving the challenges they’ve faced to-date.
How about it’s usage in foldable displays?. We know Apple will not make a foldable iPhone until it is “Blackbery late”, but maybe a foldable iPad?. Is this tech “compatible”?.
Yep, given the history of stories that we have seen on this…
The iPhone 4 screen never caused anyone eyestrain or headaches. I wonder if microLED will be better than OLED in that respect.
We’ve been discussing the implementation of MicroLED with Apple products for so many years. Hopefully the wait for MicroLED won’t be too much longer, at least for the iPhone.
