Next Apple Watch expected to be 40% thinner, to debut in WWDC

Rumour has it that the next Apple Watch is going to be up to 40% thinner and that it might make its debut at WWDC in June this year.

The news comes from Apple analyst Brian White of Drexel Hamilton, who just issued some research notes highlighting his expectations for the upcoming Apple Watch and iPhone.

For starters, White believes that the iPhone 7 ( production is expected to start in July) will help Apple with its smartphone growth come the second half of 2016. The 5.5 inch iPhone 7 Plus is also expected to feature a dual camera system, a feature that is predicted to become more standard across smartphones in the coming year.

As for the Apple Watch 2 which might come around this June or September, it might be up to 20-40% thinner than it currently is, at 10.5mm. How exactly they’re going to make it even skinnier is beyond us, because we think its already plenty thin. There aren’t many other details regarding the next Watch except that it will feature a FaceTime video camera and expanded Wi-Fi capabilities. Expect new bands and finish options too.

So do you think the Watch should be thinner? let us know in the comments.
