Apple is without a doubt a company with a great number of fans. There are a lot of people who would buy almost anything with the Apple logo on it. Thankfully, the products delivered by the Cupertino- based company are also high- quality. iPhones, iPads, iMacs and other products all offer a high grade of reliability and high- quality materials. Naturally, the company’s smart wearable, the Apple Watch is also a good gadget. The Apple Watch 3 is about to launch. While it reportedly won’t come with any major changes design- wise, it will offer new and nice features. It seems that the LTE connectivity will be one of the major selling points of the gadget.
According to the latest reports, the Apple Watch 3 will look more or less the same as the previous models. It will even keep the same dimensions. There will be a 38mm smartwatch and a 42mm one for those who prefer larger accessories. The watch face will remain rectangular, however, we might see some minor changes in the strap. In case Apple really decides to go wild, we could welcome the smart strap we all heard about a few months ago. However, the chances of this becoming reality this year are quite slim. The display could get a higher resolution, but that is quite questionable too.
As reports suggest, there will be an LTE and a non-LTE version of the gadget. According to analyst Ming- Chi Kuo, approximately 8 to 9 million units will ship this year. 35 to 40 percent of these will offer LTE connectivity. As we already know from other devices, the ones that offer LTE connectivity are also more expensive than the ones who lack this feature. If the numbers prove to be right, Apple will actually make a lot more money than it did with previous Apple Watch models.
Even though smartwatches are not as popular as one would have expected them to become a few years ago, Apple seems to do great in this area too. The Apple Watch is one of the most popular smart wearables, and the Apple Watch 3 will probably keep up with the standards too. It’s rather surprising that this gadget still has so many fans at it didn’t really change since its first release. At least in terms of design, it didn’t. Of course, this could mean that Apple nailed it the first time and there is no need for changes. Even so, people tend to get bored with the same design over time and an overhaul for the Apple Watch is long overdue.
It seems that the Apple Watch 3 won’t be the one to offer the major design change. Apple will reportedly deliver a totally new design for the iPhone this year. Maybe it will be the Apple Watch’s turn next year to get the new design. Until then, it will only get some new features. Whether they will be enough to impress fans or not remains to be seen. Apple will launch the new gadgets alongside the iPhone 8, iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s PLus in September.
