Apple has gradually changed the display technologies it uses in its products over the years. After using TFT, OLED, and mini LED, the next shift to microLED could end up being helped by an investment by a supply chain partner.

Under the partnership, Foxconn will be entering the AR glasses market, with the two working on microLED wafer processing and optical module packaging.
