Apple Watch 2 Release Date, Specs and Rumors: Wearable Device to Have Thinner 'One Glass Solution' Display; Will This Lengthen Battery Life?

Apple Watch 2 May Feature a Thinner One Glass Solution Display

The awaited Apple Watch 2 will reportedly feature a "One Glass Solution" (OGS) display that is thinner.

The first-gen wearable apparently had a Glass on Glass solution that did not leave adequate space for a larger battery. In lieu with this, the OGS display on the Apple Watch 2 may allow it to have a longer battery life.

However, the second-gen Apple wearable will come improved as its display will reportedly be replaced with a thinner glass. Digitimes reports that Apple will install the OGS on the Apple Watch 2 instead of the Glass on Glass solution that was used on the first Apple Watch.

With the OGS reportedly in place in the Apple Watch 2, the device will have more space. This could mean that the battery might be changed in favor of a longer lasting one and that the Apple Watch 2 will not be as heavy as its predecessor.

Furthermore, it is rumored that the Apple Watch 2 might come with a GPS feature as it is constantly used as a fitness tracking device more than anything. Tech Times adds that it might also have an LTE capability as well among other upgrades expected of a second-gen device.

Apple Watch 2 Release Date
The change of display technology in the Apple Watch 2 is reportedly met with technical issues. According to BGR, the OGS provides the Apple Watch 2 with better display and resolution and the device may be introduced in Apple's September event. The introduction of the Apple Watch 2 may be alongside the company's iPhone 7 line.
