  • Rumor: Second-gen Apple Watch to feature new, thinner 'One Glass Solution' touchscreen

    Battery  is fine for a day right now but if I could get a couple of days that would be better.
    I've yet to hear a compelling argument for why a product like iPhone or Apple Watch need to last longer than 1 day on their battery. You sleep at night. You don't use these products when you're sleeping. Be responsible, and put them on the charger. Ready to go when you wake up.

    It's not that more better battery isn't always better, its just not necessary. It doesn't warrant expending development and engineering resources that could be better spent elsewhere.

    It's not logical, nor a rumor. You picked up on a musing by the WSJ, who wouldn't know otherwise, and turned it into more than it is because...again...It's just something that you keep repeating that you would like to see, despite how illogical it is for an Apple Watch. This is not a standalone product. It is from top to bottom designed as an iPhone accessory, and that is not changing. It is fundamental to the product. Apple has gone to great length to leverage the mandatory connection to iPhone and avoid redundant features (things like GPS, LTE) crippling the Apple Watch.
    I'm glad we have Turbo who can speak for the entire world and tell us what's logical or not and knows Apple's future product plans of what they will or won't do. Who needs an explanation when all you have to do is just say "illogical" and people should believe you?

    Yes the current product is designed as an iPhone accessory. However future Apple Watch models that can be standalone with GPS and cell connectivity is a very logical step. Lots of runners or people at the gym don't want to carry their phone when exercising. It's called forward thinking and miniaturization of technology. It's been going on for the past 30+ years.
    It's not that simple. When you really look at Apple Watch, the entire product that they took years to develop, is 100% an iPhone accessory, and a complete non-starter without the iPhone.
    I understand what you're saying. It's not like it isn't of course a hypothetical goal for the product in general. But it doesn't take much to understand that it is not a short term goal. Apple is committed to leveraging iPhone for Apple Watch features. LTE on Apple Watch is so far in the future you couldn't see it with a crystal ball.

    You're just not going to let go of this, are you? It's not happening, nor does it need to.

    The only thing that could possibly get me to upgrade the watch would be a larger model. 42mm is still rather small for a men's watch.
    Let go of what? A logical rumor that we've reported on a few times before?

    Other rumored features for the next Apple Watch include a better screen for outdoor visibility, as well as the possibility of integrated GPS and LTE cellular data.

  • Apple holds onto second place in slightly increased global smartphone market

    That's why they are called emerging markets. It is a given that whatever they are used to buying, its not premium products. There is no where for them to go but up. 
    Apple can take its time building up interest in those countries.
    The iPhone SE at $399 USD is still very high end for India and China. But its not Apple that has to come down to them. They will, over time, come up to meet Apple. Apple just needs to have something that is within reach. The iPhone SE fits that bill.
