Apple Watch 2 Price, Release Date & Specs: How Gadget Is Better Than The First One
While Apple is keeping mum on the Apple Watch 2 price, release date and specification details, rumors are that the next iteration of the Apple Watch might get unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which is scheduled to be held in San Francisco this June.
However, there are also reports which claim that Apple Watch 2 might be launched together with iPhone 7 in September, reported Vine Report.
In a recent interview with Jim Cramer on Mad Money, Apple CEO Tim Cook did not directly acknowledge the existence of Apple Watch 2, but he did assure that the next smart watch from the company will only be better.
"We're still in learning mode," Cook said, reported Christian Daily. "We're learning fairly quickly, though."
"You'll see the Apple Watch getting better and better," Cook added. "I think that in a few years, we will look back and people will say, 'How could I have ever thought about wearing this watch?'"
Cook's statement hints that the upcoming smart watch will get more improved functionality and features than its predecessor.
Talking about features and specs of Apple Watch 2, it is expected that the Cupertino may make the Apple Watch 2 less reliant on the iPhone. Currently, the smart watch's main use is as an extension of the iPhone. It can make calls and send messages, but only using the mobile connectivity of the iPhone.
It is rumored that the next Apple Watch will be completely independent and will stand as its own gadget. This means users will be able to make calls, send texts and connect to the internet without the need of the iPhone.
There are even reports which suggest that the upcoming smartwatch might pack a new processor that will deliver better performance for apps and overall watch performance. This would make apps that run on the Apple Watch 2 directly much faster.
The iPhone maker is also planning to add a FaceTime camera to the smart watch for video calls. As far as the pricing is concerned, it is expected that the price of Apple Watch 2 could start at $349, according to Gotta Be Mobile.
