According to the latest reports, the Apple Watch 2 will surely be launched before the year ends. Many people were disappointed when the Cupertino-based company failed to announce the tech watch during their annual Worldwide Developers Conference or WWDC 2016, which happened in the middle of June. However, Know Your Mobile reported that the device will certainly be released in the next few months. The publication noted that the success of the first generation Apple Watch is a good indication that a second generation is coming its way this year.

In a report by Tech Radar, the price of the Apple Watch 2 might increase due to its impressive specifications and advanced features. One of the rumored changes that are said to make a big impact is the incorporation of a Micro LED panel, which will replace the OLED panel of its predecessor. Users will certainly appreciate the display technology as it will help increase the battery life of the smart watch. It will also provide better display quality with its high-resolution system.

Previous reports suggested that the next Apple Watch model will arrive with its own cellular capability, which makes it independent from the iPhone device. The new feature will allow the tech watch to send messages and make calls without pairing it to the Apple's flagship smartphone. There are also reports suggesting that the Apple Watch 2 will have a Wi-Fi chip for it to easily connect to the Internet.

Nonetheless, the company has yet to provide an official statement with regard to the development and release of the Apple Watch 2.
