Garmin COO on Skipping MicroLED and a Tenfold Jump in Component Costs
· Reported by Garmin Rumors
Garmin COO Brad Trenkle has given the clearest reason yet for why the Fenix 9 Pro has no MicroLED version: supply. He told Andrew Williams at Forbes that there aren’t enough MicroLED suppliers, and they can’t yet make enough panels in more than one size. In a second Forbes piece from the same interview, he also talked about rising component costs and whether Garmin watches will get more expensive. The Fenix 8 Pro MicroLED, which only came in 51 mm.
