Watch Apple 2, the future version of the smartwatch developed by the Apple company, will go into production in the following months and those from Cupertino are trying to complete the list of partners who will produce the components or the entire product.
Today we learn that Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE) will produce the vast majority of the upcoming S2 chip heart Watch Apple 2, the company producing all the S1 chips used in the Apple Watch, but for the new model things will be different.
Separately from ASE, Amkor Technology and STATS ChipPAC were also hired by Apple to produce the rest of the S2 chips that will be used in the Apple Watch 2, the diversification being probably necessary to produce more units.
Samsung will continue to manufacture the processor that includes the RAM that will be used in the Apple Watch 2, and those from Kinsus Interconnect Technology will continue to produce substrates for the smart watch components, Apple giving up Nanya PCB for this segment.
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE), already a provider of SiP (system-in-package) modules for the first-generation Apple Watch, has reportedly grabbed the majority of SiP module orders for the second-generation device, according to industry sources. Amkor Technology and STATS ChipPAC, a unit of Jiangsu Changjiang Electronics Technology (JCET), have also obtained a portion of SiP module orders for the second-generation Apple Watch.
The latest Apple Watch 2 rumor he tells us that the design of the product will not be different from the previous one, but also that it will come with a suite of new components that will improve the overall functionality of the device.
Apple Watch 2 could be launched in summer or fall, all depending on how Apple wants to present or promote its smart watch to users around the world.
