" According to reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo...", how is this guy reliable? He just throws **** against the wall and see what sticks. Iphone 11 in september, better camera, faster processor - a true prophet, i tell you.
It's a watch big dealI can't wait to purchase mine when it is released in September, I currently have the 2nd Gen
Apparently the XR's screen wasn't "good enough" after all?
I'm with you. Love my S4. Can't imagine how they could make it better unless they made it thinner, of course.I'm trying to imagine what features it would take for me to upgrade my S4.
Maybe an uniform display lighting while displaying grayish colors?
his is the one problem I have with my watch whenever the display is not at full brightness. I got used to it but there are lots of things I would like to see improve of the watch.
Why aren’t they moving to MicroLED? That was rumored a couple generations ago.
More OLED manufacturers really doesn't mean anything if they can't build panels to the specs and volumes required by Apple. Even with Apple's help, LG still can't do it, and if this rumor is true they (LG) are even losing some of their Apple Watch OLED to Japan Display. JD is probably getting some AW displays to test if their processes are even viable at larger scale. Meanwhile, Samsung is still improving it's OLED quality and capacity while working on next gen mLED.As the demand for OLED displays keep rising, we will see more and more OLED manufacturers. The days of Samsung's monopoly are over.

Not really sure why your commentary took a turn towards mLED. I do agree that OLED will be the dominant tech for years to come. The dominant player in the market is still improving it (exactly what I said in the previous comment). LG can't seem to do small panel OLED right and at capacity. Japan Display is still testing the waters. No one even knows if their OLED will be any good. So not really sure where you see Samsung's dominance waning. Apple probably desperately wants a viable second supplier for OLED panels, but I'm pretty sure they aren't going to compromise quality on iPhones just to get one. They can afford to mix supplier panels on laptops cuz the don't sell that many. iPhones are the bread and butter.It's unlikely that they will be able to shrink microLED pixels to the size necessary for smartwatches, phones and tablets anytime soon. microLED panels are only good for displays that are watched at from far viewing distances (TVs and such).
Maybe they will do it one day, but not soon. OLED will be the dominant technology for years to come.
LG if I'm not mistakenWhose the current supplier of OLED for the watch?
Xs/Max has 4 GB.Can you explain the DRAM limitation because I’m seeing both as having 3 GB?

Out of that entire paragraph of words discussing your opinion of OLED, this: "Meanwhile, Samsung is still improving it's OLED quality and capacity while working on next gen mLED." is what you focused on? Heck, that sentence isn't even about mLED. mLED is literally mentioned as an aside. Okay I guess. To be clear, the focus was OLED.Because you mentioned it first.
the watch has always had OLEDWell if its less the half, the move to OED in Apple watch sounds good\
"Other rumors suggest a future version of the Apple Watch will adopt solid state buttons that don't physically click but instead provide haptic feedback to users"
I already worry the move to soft-touch buttons on something on a wrist worn, or portable device you can knock very easily... But that's just me.
