TLDR Tech / Design
Next-gen Apple Watch could get an upgraded OLED screen with a battery life boost
Apple may be exploring a new OLED display technology called high-mobility oxide (HMO) for future Apple Watches. Compared to today's LTPO displays, HMO could reduce power consumption and manufacturing complexity, potentially leading to significantly longer battery life and lower production costs. LG Display is reportedly developing the technology, but it still faces technical challenges in achieving the speed and reliability Apple requires. If development progresses smoothly, HMO could appear in Apple Watches around 2027 or later, with possible future adoption in iPhones, though neither Apple nor LG has confirmed these plans.
