which is you put a bunch of little tiny lenses on top of your existing regular WRGB OLED, and that increases the viewing angle. And when I say a bunch of lenses, I mean a bunch of lenses, as in each individual pixel, like subpixel, the red, green, and blue subpixels, have hundreds of lenses in front of them. When we say micro lens array, we mean micro lens.

We don't need one lens for each pixel, one lens for each subpixel, hundreds for each subpixel. And this technology is what LG uses on their high-end televisions and has for a couple years now. And guess what?

It increases the viewing angle because the light that's coming out of the pixels and going through all the polarizers or whatever hits that micro lens array and shoots off in all sorts of directions instead of just mostly going straight. And I think LG might be the supplier for these things.

Anyway, as soon as someone gets one of these watches, someone who's a display technology expert will put it under one of those little microscope magnifier things. You can tell when you have an MLA OLED. You can actually see the little micro lenses when you zoom in on one pixel.

And if so, that will be super interesting because the only places I've heard of micro lens arrays being used are on television sets.

and so now they're going to be used it's on your tv and also on the tiniest screen on your wrist the one on your watch um and the great thing about mla is it's essentially a passive technology you just put those lenses on there and you get more brightness and better viewing angles for the same power output so again ideal for the watch not as cool as micro oled but you know that didn't work out so if you're waiting for micro oled we're going to be waiting a while longer

Did he have it confirmed or no?

Yeah, and by the way, the MLA, as I described, it's a pretty good technology. If you can't do QD OLED, just adding one more layer to your display, it makes them much better. So when Apple eventually gets OLEDs into their MacBook Pros or whatever, I know they're doing the tandem OLEDs on the M4 iPad Pro and everything, but I do wonder...

If we might see some MLA tech coming to MacBooks in 2026 or 2027.

The S10 is another place where the lack of numbers kind of hurt us, because they're like, oh, it's got an S10 SIP, blah, blah, blah, and they said a bunch of stuff about it, but it's like, okay, so is this the S9 rebadged? Is this actually a new thing? I think the S9 had a shrink, but I think the S9 went to, like, 4 nanometers. Is the S10 3 nanometers? Like, they didn't really...

talk about it in enough of a way to say whether this is going to be significant and it's a factor because you're what you're really wondering is like how what are they done with battery life like does the series 10 does the big series 10 have ultra like battery life i doubt it it's so much thinner it probably doesn't but then again the ultra doesn't have an s10 in it so maybe the s10 sips more power and you know so then apple's claims about the battery life i think were not
