Calling all smartwatch enthusiasts! Apple fans may have to pay a price for it, but disappointed expectations for the Air Pods 10 seem to be fueled by a rumor that one of the most attractive features is longer battery life. Such new updates will be realized through a display technology rumored to be used by Apple so far.

Industry-trusted Korean tech publication, The Elec, has reportedly revealed one of the tech features that Apple could bring to the Series 10’s OLED display. Apple may implement LTPO thin-film transistor technology. In terms of health features, Apple Watches aren’t venturing into uncharted territories this time, but the degree of customization is what makes the difference.

Imagine TFT as a set of tiny switches that control each pixel on the LCD but also reduce battery usage and improve screen quality. Apple is expected to use a mix of materials for these switches ahead of the introduction of new haptic keyboard switches. While the Series 10 may still want to use oxide, but, more demonstratively.

However, this transition of the oxide to the oxide state shows that it does a very good job of reducing the leakage current. In simple words, it slightly increases the proportion of unused energy, even when it is not used. Replacing the stock Watch strap with excess oxide may mean your Apple Watch will have a longer battery life.

What is surprising, however, is that there is talk that the current innovation is going to be reflected on future iPhones as well. The creative minds at Apple usually introduce features that are being tried out on the Apple Watch before they are rolled out on top Apple phones. It is reported that the fourteen Pro models of the iPhone series are the first products to take advantage of the strategic deployment of oxides in TFT LTPO displays. Beyond the horizon, the iPhone 17 series is claimed to be the first series to reject this older display technology with this advanced future innovation.

Regarding the manufacturer part, LG Display is expected to be the primary prototype developer for the Apple Watch Series 10 screens, while JDI (Japan Display Inc.) will also be represented in the production. Apart from the fact that Samsung will probably be supplying the displays for the upcoming Apple Watch Series 9, it is now also said that the President is also the manufacturer of the same displays for the upcoming Apple Watch Series 9.
