The second generation Apple Watch will be an augmented and improved version of the original model, told the reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Mainly, however, we are talking about the internal components of the device model in a new designer should be expected only next year.
Before I talk about the features of the new Apple Watch, analysts have analyzed the sales of products with the operating system watchOS. Worldwide it sold about 10.5 million “smart” hours. How Apple intends to continue to stimulate demand for their products in a situation of ever-falling consumer demand? The answer lies in the updated model.
Apple Watch 2016 will receive a set of new sensors and more efficient hardware-based SiP platform S2. Processor Apple S1 in the first generation model uses the outdated 28nm process technology and meets performance single-chip system Apple A5. Also the novelty will differ longer battery life and possibly the presence of larger amount of internal memory.
New Apple Watch will also get a built-in camera for video calls. It is known that the model is not mounted in the strap as the watch Galaxy Gear, and in the upper part of the frame of the chronometer. Camera for video calling using FaceTime will be added to the operating system watchOS.
The second generation Apple Watch will be virtually no different from the original model. The output clock in a new design will take place in 2017, found Kuo. The novelty will be thinner than its predecessor by 40%.
By estimations of an analyst, the delay in updating the design of the Apple Watch may have a negative impact on total sales of branded smart watches. Kuo believes that in 2016 Apple sells more than 7.5 million wearable computers, that is 25% less than last year. Among other reasons for the relatively weak sales analyst calls as a General immaturity of the market, and some significant shortcomings of the first generation of the gadget, including the limited time of their battery life and useful apps.
The announcement of the new Apple Watch is expected in June at the annual conference for developers WWDC 2016, which will be held from 13 to 17 June at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The first model of “smart” watches was presented in September 2014 and went on sale in April 2015.
