What to expect from the iWatch 2
With the Apple launch looming tomorrow, all eyes are on the iPhone 7 (see our coverage here and here) but what can we expect to see from its companion, the iWatch 2?
It’s safe to say that watchOS will benefit from an overhaul alongside the release of iOS 10. We predict a more health focused operating system, with improved medical and health applications.
Other sports friendly features on the Apple Watch 2 may be a faster 16nm processor, a barometer that will measure atmospheric pressure, waterproofing, a longer lasting battery and built in GPS system. We can see the wearable being marketed to those who wish to use it while swimming, climbing and exploring independent of their iPhone.
However, those of you who are hoping for 4G connectivity may be disappointed, with KGI Securities analyst, Ming-chi Kuo predicting this won’t hit Apple wearables until 2017.
It is also unlikely that the watch will have a major redesign, but we are expecting a thinner model that is compatible with existing band options. Those in the know suggest that the iWatch 2 can’t get much smaller though, thanks to the new functionalities and quicker processor requiring more a larger battery to power the improved device.
Considering the latest rumours, we are expecting to see the Watch 2 hit the shelves towards September 16.
