Apple fans may have to wait a little longer for the next generation of Apple Watches, as reports indicate that only the top-tier model will feature a brighter micro LED display. It is unclear whether this “top-tier model” refers exclusively to the Apple Watch Ultra or if it includes stainless steel models as well. The lack of clarity has caused some consternation among consumers, who fear that they may be left out of the new features. Some have even speculated that Apple is intentionally withholding information in order to drive up demand for its top-tier product. This uncertainty has been compounded by reports that the new micro LED display technology could be more expensive than traditional LCD displays, potentially leading to higher prices for consumers. This could further alienate those who are already feeling left out by the lack of information about which models will receive the upgrade. While Apple has yet to comment on these rumors, it seems likely that many customers will be disappointed when they find out which models get access to this new technology and which don't. With no official word from Apple yet, it remains unclear whether all users will benefit from this upgrade or just those willing to pay a premium price for their device.
