Apple Watch 2 Might Surface In June

Analysts expect the Apple Watch 2 to surface anytime between June and September.

Apple Inc. is going to debut Apple Watch 2 during the second half of the fiscal year of 2016. There have been several rumors and speculations surfacing each day regarding the launch. As per a recent report, the overseas manufacturers like Samsung Electronics have been successful in getting a spot at the company’s supply chain to assist in coming up with the components for the next generation of smart watches.

According to the expert of supply chain inside report, DigiTimes, the Taiwanese Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE) based in Taiwan has got most of the orders for coming up with a system-on-a-chip processor for the watch.  This is not the first time that SiP (system-in-package) module provider has been part and parcel of the supply chain for Apple Watch but was also a part of the supply chain during the debut of the wearable device. On the other hand, STATS ChipPAC, a wing of Jiangsu Changjiang Electronics Technology as well as Amkor Technology will get the remaining chunk of the SiP module supply.

 On the other hand, Kinsus Interconnect Technology another Taiwan based company has succeeded in getting the substrate order for the Apple Watch whereas Samsung has got the responsibility to come up with the processors equipped with DRAM, NAND flash and other chips. Initially Samsung and Kinsus supplied the parts for the Apple Watch powered by the S1 chips by AAPL.

As per the previous reports, Quanta Computer was expected to be the core manufacturer of the Apple Watch. Back in January, the company talked about the start of the trial production of the wearable gear. The watch was destined to surface in the markets by June where shipments and mass production was carved for the third trimester

So far the tech giant has not unveiled the launch date or pricing of Apple Watch 2 but it can surface at any time in 2016. The company launched Apple Watch in March, 2015 whereas they unveiled the iPhone SE this annual. It is speculated that the variant of the apple Watch might surface in June during the Worldwide Developers Conference or in September, during the annual iPhone event.

Back in time, the first Apple Watch was launched in September 2014 and was launched next year in April, hence; the company might just repeat the pattern all over again or use the June and September gap. Ming Chi Kuo, the renowned KGI Securities analysts is of the view that the company will initiate the mass production of Apple Watch 2 in the third trimester parallel with the iPhone 7 launch.

At this point of time, we do not really know the specifications of Apple Watch 2 would be like. One thing is for sure that the video camera for FaceTime and better Wi-Fi connectivity will be surfacing in this device. As per the assumption of Mr Kuo, the device will basically flaunt internal changes rather than changes in appearance and design. Whatever the changes are, we will have to wait for the official news to surface.
