Apple Watch 2.0

I mostly avoid efforts to guess where tech companies are going to go with their products.  This one, however, is an interesting read especially because wearables are such a unique area.  My Apple Watch 1.0 has been very good to me and I'm curious where they are going to go with the next offering.

Here is Bloomberg's story on Apple's efforts for the next iteration of their smart watch:

Here is a snippet from the piece:

Apple Inc. has hit roadblocks in making major changes that would connect its Watch to cellular networks and make it less dependent on the iPhone, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The company still plans to announce new watch models this fall boasting improvements to health tracking.

The updated versions will also be able to integrate GPS-based location tracking, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans aren’t public. An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment.

Happy Reading,
