Apple Watch 2 will feature digital crown, camera and watchOS 3.

Many are wondering if Apple would finally launch the newest iWatch edition - the Apple watch 2 - during the company's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2016 scheduled today. Although Apple already stated that this year's conference would focus on the software update created for the iWatch, it seems like people couldn't let go of the idea that Apple would surprisingly launch the Apple Watch 2 at the event as well. However, much to fans dismay, Apple did not unveil the Apple Watch 2, intead, the company unveiled watchOS 3.

According to Ecumenical news,  Apple's manufacturers in China has started making the first batch of Apple Watch 2, and it is set to be available in the market by July. But since the company is known for keeping this kind of revelations under wraps, nobody knows when Apple will actually introduce the new watch generation; however, rumor has it that the Cupertino-based tech giant will finally unveil the Applw Watch 2 in September.

In the same report, the possible specifications of the Apple watch 2 has been revealed. Apple Watch 2 is rumored to have a Facetime camera and people are also expecting that, by this time, a cellular connectivity would be installed in the watch so that people would be able to receive and make calls by just wearing the watch. The report also stated that Apple may have improved the health sensor and processor of the watch, since the health sensor is the most used app by the consumers.

In terms of the much-rumored watch's price, it is said that the price range of the Apple Watch 2 would hit as high $4,000 - almost as expensive as well-known wristwatches such as Rolex and Omega.

Although the aesthetic features of the watch would still be almost the same, the only difference would be the Apple Watch 2 may come with a circular face instead of the square shaped one.

It was also reported that this upcoming Apple Watch would be more independent than the first generation because it would not require to be paired with an iPhone to use its WiFi and 4G settings, which meant that the watch could probably do almost all the things that an iPhone could do such as making and receiving calls, updating apps, receiving text messages and even sending emails.
