This is the rumor or leak about the new Apple Watch that Apple could be preparing according to analyst Christopher Rolland of Susquehanna Financial Group. On this occasion, what we have on the table is a rumor that in reality it is something totally possible and more so having it is not something new that is not available in other smart watches. further The Apple Watch is a device that seeks more and more independence from the iPhone And this could be one more step to achieve it, yes, they have to implement it very well since we have already seen that in the wearables of the competition that has been implemented, it has not worked at all well.
Rolland's own words in this sense they are clear:
We understand that an option of the next Apple smartwatch would be to add the SIM card, and therefore it would support the use of LTE networks. There are still several issues to solve before this and we believe that Apple is working on them, these are related to the battery life and design of these new watches. Apple may be using VOIP and CAT-M1 connections to increase battery life on them.
This time the LTE connectivity could be available in the version of the Apple Watch Series 3, but in this sense there are many points to take into account if we look at the current model. It would not be possible or it is almost impossible to maintain the size of the current models and add LTE connection and not because of where the card has to be placed, but because adding this component in the clock would have to be accompanied by a larger battery to achieve the desired autonomy and this implies a larger size in general. We're not saying it's impossible either, but it is strange that Apple is playing with design to make a product larger overall than the current model. What do you think?
