Apple announces Apple Watch Series 2

At the Apple event on Wednesday, Apple announced the next generation of Apple Watch: Apple Watch Series 2. Series 2 includes improvements to the previous Apple Watch Series 1. It has a built in GPS, Water Resistance for up to 50 Meters and much more.

The faster processor

The Apple Watch Series 2 is powered by the Apple S2 chip. It is a dual core chip that includes a GPU that is twice as fast as the original Apple Watch.

The dual core chip makes the Apple Watch Series 2 a snappy watch.

Built in GPS

With a built in GPS, Apple Watch can track distance, speed and pace while you're walking, running or cycling outdoors. You don't have to wait for it to pick up the signal, as it does it right away. After your workout, you can see the map of your workout on the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. This leads to the Apple Watch becoming more independent.

Water Resistant

Apple Watch Series 2 is rated water resistant 50 Meters. As a result of which, you can go for a swim with it. With the new Pool Swim and Open Swim workout features, it's better than ever!

The only area where the water can enter is the speaker. Apple has found an innovative solution to this problem. After the workout, the Watch uses the speaker to eject the water from the speaker.

The Apple Watch Series 2 runs watchOS 3 with the new Breathe App along with a whole bunch of new features.

The Apple Watch Series 2 is available for pre-order today. It will go on sale September 16. It costs $369.

Third-party Indian resellers already undercut that price point, selling iPhone SE around the $320 mark. Apple was effectively forced into setting up domestic manufacturing in order to launch Indian retail stores, as India laws state that companies wanting a retail presence must source at least 30% of their goods locally. According to the Wall Street Journal, government officials hope to see the India iPhone SE sell for even less in its home country. There are obviously some cost savings for Apple to take advantage of by producing domestically and local government reportedly believes Apple could sell its iPhone for as low as $220 (converted to Indian currency). Apple typically does not like to price its devices differently based on region,...
