Apple Watch 2 release date update: New device is heading for a WWDC 2016 announcement?

When the Apple Watch came out in April 2015, it was widely received by tech freaks who have been waiting for it for quite some time. Now that Apple has decided to cut the price of the device, speculations have emerged that the company is preparing for the announcement of the Apple Watch 2.

According to the latest rumor, Apple will announce the development of the next line at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference or WWDC 2016, which will be in June. Although nothing concrete has been announced yet, fans believe that Apple Watch 2 will become Apple's another big release this year.

Now that the Cupertino-based company has already launched another smartphone, the iPhone SE, many believe that Apple will switch its focus on the upcoming smartwatch. Like its predecessor, the new line will also captivate the tech consumers all around the world.

According to Ecumenical News, there are rumors suggesting that the device will get two different releases in the next following months. The report says that limited stock will be released before the third quarter of this year starts and additional inventory will come out before the Holiday season. This information came from the chairperson of Quanta Computer, Barry Lam, whose company held the manufacturing rights of the original Apple Watch. The company is also expected to develop the Apple Watch 2.

Although this latest news must be taken with a grain of salt, people believe that a WWDC 2016 launching is just about right.

Meanwhile, the price slash that is currently happening on all Apple Watch in the market could be an indication that the next installment is certainly coming this year. The Apple Watch was originally priced at $349 but fans can obtain the celebrated watch now for only $299.

As of the moment, what fans can do is wait for any official word from Apple. Until then, all information must stay as rumors and speculations.
