Apple Watch 2 release is reportedly happening next week as the original model of the device received Memorial Day discount.
Electronics retailer Best Buy offers $200 discount on Apple Watch, although the discount is available only to the standard stainless steel model and has limited sports band options. Thus, consumers can get the Apple Watch ranging from $349 to $399, depending on the variant you choose, according to Phone Arena. The discount is available only this Memorial Day weekend.
Price discounts on current models have always been an indication that a new model is coming soon.
Apple Watch 2 release is speculated to happen in next month's Worldwide Developers' Conference, although some reports claimed that the device will be launched in September. The next generation of the device is long overdue since the first Apple Watch was release on April 24, 2015.
According to 9to5Mac, Apple Watch 2 features may include an Amazon Echo-like Siri. "The software development kit would allow developers to integrate apps with the voice assistant, and a Siri speaker would compete with Amazon's Alexa and the upcoming Google Home. Adding to the rumors, a new report suggests this product may not be available until sometime next year, but could feature cameras with facial recognition features that stand out from Amazon's and Google's products."
It was previously reported that Apple Watch 2 will also include new features like call and text features as well as improved fitness-related specs.
However, Apple is still mum on the Apple Watch 2 release date and features.
