While the Apple Watch has yet to expand to more markets, Apple is already working on a 2nd gen model (is anyone surprised ?) Reportedly due for release next year, the Apple Watch 2 should elevate your experience with a built-in FaceTime video camera for videoconferencing and improved Wi-Fi features for greater iPhone independence. A video camera should be integrated into the top bezel, allowing for FaceTime video calls directly from your wrist. As for enhanced Wi-Fi features, the report doesn’t go into details beyond stating that the device will “have more functionality when used independently from an iPhone. It should be noted that the WatchOS 2 software update and upcoming native apps will bring greater iPhone independence to the current-generation models, native apps will run directly on watch hardware, be permitted to tap into its sensors and communicate directly with known Wi-Fi hotspots using the new Tetherless Wi-Fi feature. As for the battery life of the Apple Watch 2 , it should stay roughly the same, or be marginally better than the current-generation model. The publication adds that Apple will expand the Apple Watch lineup beyond today’s Sport, Steel and Edition models with additional premium-priced units, possibly using new materials like titanium, tungsten, palladium or platinum. The Apple Watch 2 will likely release some time in 2016. Its rumors like this one that make me hesitant about buying a 1st generation Apple device. What do you think of this rumor ?
