During the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) last June, Apple gave a preview of watchOS 4, the next-generation software of the company's wearable devices.
The preview highlighted a couple of new features including a Siri watch face, which would be able to give a feed of notifications; a new and improved Music application; workout and fitness upgrades; and sports and health gear Bluetooth capabilities.
It is rumored that the new Apple smartwatch would enable calling and even texting without needing the iPhone. According to Barron's Asia, Apple is said to be looking into a smartwatch that is equipped with its very own SIM card and is also able to support LTE.
This incredible feature has yet to be confirmed as well as the speculations that the Apple Watch 3 will come with a camera. If this does happen, the upcoming smartwatch could also be capable of FaceTime.
MicroLED is also said to be a possibility as well as glucose monitoring, respiration sensors and sleep tracking which can be good for diabetics. Apple is also said to be looking into smart bands which only adds to the possibility of a built-in camera.
There is no word yet as to when the next Apple Watch will be released but it could depend on the next-generation iPhone's launch. There is a reported production issue with the next iPhone and it is said that Apple is worried that they will not be able to meet their September deadline. So, this means that the company would have to deal with the iPhone 8 first before they can focus on the Apple Watch 3.
