Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad And Mac Devices Tipped For Game-Changing Display Upgrades
Apple began devising how to build its own microLED displays in 2017, with its secret T159 project, according to a Bloomberg report. The plan is to negate the company's reliance on Samsung, LG, and others for displays. The new displays aim to be brighter, incorporate better color reproduction, and be viewed from wider angles.
An update to the MacBook Pro display in the form of a touch screen is said to be in the works and is slated to debut sometime in 2025. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg says that if all goes well, Apple will more than likely also add touch capability to its other Macs. This goes against the one-time ideology of Apple, which mocked other competitors who offered the feature on their devices.
The company also plans on replacing the Broadcom and Qualcomm wireless chips in its devices with its own silicon. Apple is currently working on two new components: a cellular modem and a custom Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module. This will help the tech giant rely less on other companies. It also fits into the tenet of Steve Jobs that the Cuppertino based company should own its core technologies.
