Apple Inc. has decided to abandon its project aimed at designing and developing microLED displays for the Apple Watch in-house, resulting in the termination of several dozen jobs across its display engineering teams in the United States and Asia, as reported by Bloomberg. This move, which also involves cutting hundreds of jobs in engineering and research, marks a significant shift in the company's strategy, although it remains committed to exploring microLED technology for future products. The decision to wind down the effort reflects challenges in the tech industry and impacts employees involved in this long-running project.
