The report also reveals that the Apple Watch Series 5 will feature sleep tracking, a larger battery, and more health features. The 2020 version of the smartwatch is expected to come with a MicroLED display. Kuo had previously also predicted that the **Apple Watch would get a new ceramic casing design** . Separately, Kuo **recently also predicted**  all Apple iPhone 11 models will feature OLED screens and it would be the same OLED displays used for Samsung’s Galaxy S10 and Note 10. Apparently, the high-end 5.4-inch and 6.7-inch models will come with OLED displays and the lower-end 6.1-inch model will also have an OLED display.
