Apple Watch 2 release date, specs news: Launching September 2016 along with iPhone 7?

Apple Watch 2 has been rumored to come out this year; however, the Cupertino-based tech giant has yet to announce the details regarding its development, much less its release date. Despite the silence from Apple, it is believed that the upcoming high-tech wristband will certainly come out in 2016 with its announcement at the Worldwide Development Conference or WWDC 2016.

According to a report by Bit Bag, if the company fails to reveal the device at the upcoming Apple event in San Francisco, California, rumor has it that it will be launched alongside the rumored iPhone 7 in September of this year. This information provides hope to millions of Apple fans who are waiting for the next line of the well-receive smart watch.

Meanwhile, The Apple Insider reported that the upcoming Apple Watch 2 will include GPS receivers feature and a wireless charging battery technology. These two features are going to be considered as game changers because of its major upgrade from the original Apple Watch model. The report also suggests that the company is still working on the products as of the moment. It may take a few months before Apple can do finishing touches leading up to its release this year.

Another interesting feature that could be something new for tech freaks is the "Apple Pay." Rumor has it that the watch will have a digital wallet service and mobile payment capable of carrying out monetary transfers, making it easier for users to settle their bills. If rumors prove to be true, this would be a major breakthrough in the tech world as other makers will also try to emulate such technology.

In other news, The Verge reported that fashion giant, Hermès, will release new straps that would come in four different colors for the original Apple Watch. This is definitely great for users of the current device as it will give them more strap design options.
