Apple is reportedly exploring new suppliers for OLED-on-silicon panels for a more affordable version of Vision Pro. The company has issued a request for information (RFI) to LG Display and Samsung Display, reports The Elec.
Apple Vision Pro uses Sony display panels
Apple’s current headset- Vision Pro uses Sony’s OLEDoS panels. It features a 1.42-inch display with a pixel density of almost 3,400 PPI.
The Cupertino-based company currently purchases high-resolution displays from Sony. However, it has a limited production capacity of up to 900,000 panels per year. In the RFI request to LG and Samsung, the company seeks to evaluate their capabilities in producing larger OLEDoS panels, ranging from 2.0 to 2.1 inches in size with a display density of about 1,700 pixels per inch (PPI). “Since the Oledos pixel density mentioned in the RFI is low, it is presumed to be aimed at entry-level models,” reads the report. It is likely that the display may
Apple may bring AI to Vision Pro
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is also planning to bring artificial intelligence (AI) to the Vision Pro headset. Apple Intelligence, introduced last month, includes a host of new features like improved Siri, proofreading tools, custom emojis, among others. Gurman states that Apple Intelligence will not be launching on the Vision Pro this year, Gurman says. Apple’s main challenge here is rethinking how the features will look like in mixed reality.
In a related news, Apple’s AirPods are set to receive a significant upgrade with the integration of cameras, according to a report by MacRumors. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts Apple will begin mass production of these AirPods with built-in infrared (IR) cameras by 2026.
The primary function of these IR cameras is to work in conjunction with Apple’s Vision Pro headset, enhancing the spatial computing and audio experience. Kuo adds that Apple may star the mass production for the new AirPods with integrated IR camera modules next year. The report also adds that the IR cameras on the AirPods will be similar to the iPhone’s Face ID receiver.
