\tThere could be new \t Apple Watch<\/a><\/span> hardware around the corner, if a well-connected industry analyst is proved correct.<\/p>\n
\tKGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who last year correctly predicted Apple would launch the \t iPhone SE<\/a><\/span>, says there are two new Apple Watches coming in the second half of 2016, MacRumours reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\tOne model will apparently be an incremental upgrade to the current Watch, with a better processor and improved waterproofing. A second model, to be called the Apple Watch 2, boasts those improvements plus more precise location tracking thanks to GPS and a barometer, as well as a bigger battery.<\/p>\n
