Next Apple Watch Will Be More 'S' Than 2

Most of the changes in the next version of the Apple Watch will be on the inside and not the outside of the case, according to an investors note issued Monday by Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities.

While he was short on details about what the internal changes for the watch might be, the analyst's comments are consistent with rumors circulating last summer that the design of the next version of Apple's wrist computer would remain essentially unchanged, with some improvements in battery life and its display's outdoor visibility, according to AppleInsider, which obtained the note.

Consumer expectations may be influencing the upgrade of the watch, noted Bob O'Donnell, chief analyst at Technalysis Research.

"Apple may want to go with the more incremental approach for now so first-generation buyers don't feel totally left out," he told TechNewsWorld.

"Watches aren't like phones and PCs," O'Donnell said. "You don't upgrade your watch every year."

Apple fans who do want to upgrade or buy a new watch this year most likely will have to wait until September to do so, as Kuo says production won't start until the third quarter. Read more on >> PNG Technology News
