Apple Watch 2 – faster processor, GPS, barometer and a bigger battery

The Apple Watch 2 will be faster, have GPS, a bigger battery and a barometer, but will be as thick as the Apple Watch.

Watch Apple 2 is the future smartwatch model that the Apple company intends to launch on the market in September of this year, and today we learn a series of new information about the functions and characteristics that the future product is going to offer us from the moment of its launch on the market .

Today's details are provided by a well-known Asian numismatic analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who in the past only provided valid data about the products that the Apple company is going to launch, so everything he tells us now about Watch Apple 2, is most likely as true as possible.

According to this Asian analyst, Watch Apple 2 is going to include a new type of chip manufactured using a 16nm production process, those from TSMC being contracted for this component, but it is only one of the new components used by Apple in the product that will hit the market next month.

GPS for location

Apple Watch 2 will have GPS, this being the first time that the Apple company implements such a component in its smart watch, but with its help users will benefit from a much improved user experience than the one offered at the moment.

More precisely, an Apple Watch 2 with integrated GPS will allow a much better monitoring of the fitness sessions made by the owners of this smartwatch, they can have much more accurate information about all the movements they make in their daily life .

At the moment the Apple Watch needs an iPhone for location, so the Apple Watch 2 will be able to work independently of the smartphone including for this function, not just for others, as Apple is thinking of doing this year with it.

Barometer

Apple Watch 2 will have a barometer included for its users, and for now there is no clear information about the functionality it will offer, but of course there are no applications that use this component to offer us any specific functionality in dispozitive.

iPhones have a barometer included starting with iPhone 6, and its role is to measure the altitude at which we are at one moment or another, its inclusion in Apple Watch 2 having of course the role of improving physical exercise sessions, so that everyone those who run will know how high they reach in their sessions.

The functionality offered by the barometer for the iPhone was not so intensively promoted by the Apple company in the years before its implementation, but things will certainly be different for the Apple Watch 2, this gadget having a completely different utility.

Bigger battery

Finally, the Apple company is going to implement a larger capacity battery in the Apple Watch 2, the current models having batteries of 205 mAh and 250 mAh, and being extremely criticized by users, so in 2016 we expect a change for the better offered by the Apple company for us.

It is difficult to say for now how much bigger the Apple Watch 2 battery will be, but we are probably talking about an increase of 10% - 20%, this being the usual margin offered by the Apple company, the final autonomy being able to increase in the same values, although the smart watch it will also have new integrated components.

As thick, without internet, but with lower prices for Apple Watch

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that the Apple Watch 2 will not be thinner than the Apple Watch, so if you want a slightly thinner case, well, you will be disappointed, and this even though the smart watch has a new type of screen that is thinner, but probably the inclusion of the new components above keeps the thickness at a high level.

Moreover, Apple Watch 2 will not be able to surf the Internet by itself without being connected to an iPhone, this functionality being rumored to be offered only in 2017, so Apple has completely different plans for its new smartwatch in fall of this year.

Finally, the analyst is of the opinion that Apple will also release updated models of the Apple Watch, which will be resistant to Apple, but will not have the new components of the Apple Watch 2, and this is perfectly normal because people will no longer buy the new model after the launch.

The interesting part is that the current models of the Apple Watch will also be sold at a lower price than the current one, and here we are probably talking about a reduction of another 50 dollars in the final price, but it remains to be seen what the Apple company will announce in the fall this year for us.
