As you can see, the rumors about the Apple Watch continue to happen and that is that the rumor that talks about not really expecting a new Apple Watch for this year 2016 is gaining importance as many analysts point out. Rather, Apple would launch an improved version of the current one that it would call Apple Watch S.
We have already exposed this assumption some time ago in a previous article and although for a few months it lost a bit of credibility, now this rumor returns with more force than ever, even more so when Apple does not stop releasing new colors and models of straps that are identical to the initial concept and that to get a new Apple Watch much thinner would have no reason to be.
The well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo Sow doubts again by publishing a report that talks about the second version of the Apple Watch. In the estimate that three out of five users would buy that new watch (I would be among those two who would not) when seeing the novelties that this supposed improved version would include, which would not focus precisely on its external appearance.
However, if you read us daily, our colleague Miguel Ángel Juncos he was talking to us a few days ago that another analyst assured that the new Apple Watch that those of Cupertino could present in June at WWDC 2016 it would be up to 40% thinner.
Well, today Kuo has come to the step saying that we should not expect significant changes in the external design of our precious Apple Watch and that is that Apple would be reserving those changes for the year 2017. If this were the case, the rule that In recent years Apple has been following with the iPhone, releasing the normal version and a year later the improved version.
Taking into account all the above is why Kuo himself predicts a decrease of up to 25% in the sales of the next Apple Watch since if what he says is fulfilled, not all users will take the leap that Apple expects. We would be talking about a decrease in sales that would go from the 10,6 million units that is estimated to be Apple has sold the first model at a figure of 7,5 million that it could sell from the improved version.
Now we can only wait and see what are the movements that the Cupertino company is going to make in reference to the Apple Watch.
Well, I do not know what would happen to Apple when the competition squeezes so beautiful ... In fact, all the "premium" brands that at the time presented their first smartwatch, in their second version They all changed their design. Apple boasted in its day that its watch would be a fashion item and, gentlemen, there is no fashion that can last 2 years ... time to time.
