Garmin skipped MicroLED on the Fenix 9 Pro, and its COO won’t promise prices hold
· Reported by The Gadgeteer
“We do see the potential for microLED to continue, but one of the key challenges we have is the amount of supply chain diversity and the ability for the supply chain to ramp up to support the needs of our customers.” That’s Garmin COO Brad Trenkle telling Forbes why the fēnix 9 Pro shipped without a MicroLED version. In the same interview, he wouldn’t promise that Garmin prices hold. Panel supply. There aren’t enough MicroLED makers yet, and they can’t build the panels in several sizes at Garmin’s volume. The 8 Pro MicroLED only ever came in one case size, while the 9 Pro comes in 43, 47 and 51mm.
