Apple Might Launch Apple Watch 2 In FY16



Apple Watch likely to roll out the coming fall, 2016.

As reported by Macrumors.com, Apple Inc. got an extremely positive response for their first wearable device the Apple Watch. As reports claim the company has started to work on the next version of Apple Watch in the fiscal year of 2016 which will be named as the Apple Watch 2.

The reports suggest that the upcoming watch will comprise of various new features that includes a secondary camera to be used with FaceTime video calling feature, Wi-Fi enabled features along with new material built models. The Apple watch 2 will b e revealed once the tech behemoth launches its watchOS 2 along with other native watch application in 2016. However, all these are mere speculations since the company has not revealed anything officially to date.

The World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) that took place in 2015 catered to several revelations where Apple announced that it wishes to device a new feature for the audio FaceTime calls that will use the Wi-Fi through the watchOS 2 in the times to come. They further mentioned that this feature will allow users to receive or decline calls through an iPhone that is paired with the device. Rumors also suggest that the new camera will be placed on the top bezel of the smart wearable technology, Apple Watch so that the calls are decent without any inconvenience.

Apple at this point has made it clear that they will not work on the battery life of Apple Watch. The company conducted various surveys and most of the users who own an Apple Watch were satisfied with its battery life. So the company will not spend time on that but will focus on other spheres that require their attention. Many analysts believe that this means, Apple users can now expect several exciting and engaging changes that will overall breathe a new dimension in the upcoming Apple Watch.

Apart from this, the Apple Watch 2 is also said to have a Wi-Fi chip embedded in it that will be another add-on. Furthermore, the company is also working on “Find my Watch” feature which will comprise of “Wi-Fi router triangulation technology” allowing users to track their device in case it gets lost or stolen.

Apple has not commented on this matter so far but reports also suggest that the upcoming Apple Watch will be available in various materials that include tungsten, platinum, titanium and palladium.

Apple Watch has become an instant favorite and many Apple lovers are looking forward to this upgrade.

Bidness Tech - Pebble Time Is Not Content With Apple



Apple faces criticism by Pebble Time for not approving its app review.

Recently Pebble Time started the shipment of is the wearable device. However, the company is dealing with several issues whilst connecting with Apple iPhones. The company is concerned about this issue and to add more value to this, the company has approached Twitter Inc. to make the issue viral on social media.

Pebble Time has asked customers to help it out and has asked consumer to promote ““#FreeOurPebbleTime” since Apple Inc. is making it relatively difficult for them. App store submission is the core problem, which the company is dealing with currently.

According to the company, the developers have sent an app review to Apple on May 18 before the Pebble Time was actually launched. Moreover, Pebble also believes that the company is responsible for the obstruction. Ironically, many customers consider Pebble’s device to be “paper weight” for Apple users since it is not much compatible.

Apple is not the one to be blamed since Pebble submitted the app review and less than 10 days had passed. However, for any app review to publish, minimum 10 days are required. Pebble should have taken this factor into consideration before submission because this is certainly not Apple’s fault if they were not considerate about Apple’s policies.

For the time being, Pebble has asked its clients to access the watch facilities by borrowing an Android phone. The idea is to down load the Watch Faces so that they can enjoy the features of this wearable technology.

Pebble has also acknowledged that they submitted bug fixes for its product, but that also has been pending since 43 days. According to them the issue is the Apple Watch is the reason why Apple has been skeptical about their products. The company wishes to only develop, market, sale and promote its own wearable technology. According to BidnessEtc, “The official statement by the company remains that they have not faced any faults with the Pebble app, with the previous statement of applications not being denied access, on the grounds that they are working with Pebble.”

It is normal for Pebble to react in such a manner, but now they are just trying to create controversy, everybody knows that the Apple Watch is relatively better than Pebble Time in terms of quality, finish, features etc. but the biggest benefit for Apple watch is that it is an Apple product. The company should settle the dispute with authorities in a subtle manner rather than making the entire social media talk about it.
