Now that Apple is done with unveiling and releasing their new 4-inch smartphone, the Apple iPhone SE, all eyes are now on the company’s upcoming flagship model, the Apple iPhone 7.

The Apple Watch was the first truly new device from the tech giant in five years – and the first since the death of iconic leader Steve Jobs.

We’re expecting the Apple Watch 2 to be able to do more without a tethered iPhone – including, perhaps, make video calls – although the design isn’t expected to change significantly this time around. The device boasts several technology upgrades, but it failed to draw long queues outside Apple stores like a typical “new iPhone” launch, apparently because there is no persuasive reason for consumers to rush to get their hands on it.

Apple Watch, which was launched previous year, is the world’s leading smartwatch, although the company is yet to provide actual sales numbers fearing that the data might help competitors. He estimates that Apple will sell fewer than 7.5 million watches for the full year, compared with 10.6 million units last year when the watch was only available for eight months. Apple is expected to take Music to the next level as it is going to introduce wireless earpods which will stream hi-res music wirelessly. And that’s all great, but there seems to be more limited upside for the device – among the general population, 53% of people do not think the Apple Watch has been a successful product, for example. Also, purchasing directly from Apple means there’s less of a chance for consumers to walk away with a different device. He simply predicted that a total of 7.5 million units of the first-gen Apple Watch will be shipped during 2016. We believe Apple Watch 2 could be 20-40% thinner than the current Apple Watch.
