Apple Watch 2 may be delayed until mid or late 2016: Report

While many ardent fans were waiting for the second generation Apple Watch, looks like the company doesn’t plan a release until later next year. This means buyers of the original Apple Watch could enjoy the prestige of having the latest device for a little longer. According to a report by  Apple Insider, citing a research memo obtained from Cowen and Company, the second-generation Apple Watch will likely feature a thinner size and better performance. Analyst Timothy Arcuri of Cowen and Company also predicts that Apple will sell 18 million Apple Watches by the end of 2015 and 45 million in 2016. Although he states that the forecast for next year is conservative, given the strength of the numbers this year. As of now, it is unclear whether Cowen’s claims about the features of the device are purely speculative or based on research. According to the report, the 2nd gen Apple Watch is rumoured to have the same external design along with a bigger battery. According to a previous  **report** , 97 percent of the 1000 early adopters of the watch say they are satisfied with the watch. This is way higher than the first-generation iPhone and iPad consumer satisfaction ratings. Out of the 1000 Apple Watch owners, 66 percent are very satisfied with the device, 31 percent are somewhat satisfied. Overall, the Apple Watch has a customer satisfaction rating of 97 percent.
