If Apple is using a 0.5" Sony MicroOLED, why use a 1280x960 model (presumably the ECX337A) when Sony already introduced a 0.5" MicroOLED in 1600x1200 resolution last April?

If Apple is using a 0.5" Sony MicroOLED display in an AR device, it will be video pass-thru (as VR HMDs can), further validating speculation APPLE IS WORKING ON TWO DEVICES.
