Apple Watch Series 6 With Enhanced Water-Resistant, Improved Performance Expected: Report

Apple is soon expected to unveil the Watch Series 6 and if the reports are to be believed, it would pack better performance features. According to known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the next generation of the Apple Watch will include the new S6 chipset. Some of the other upgrades include enhanced water-resistance, which might include swimming, diving, and other water-related activities.

Apple Watch Series 6 Expected Features

The Apple Watch Series 6 is said to pack Liquid Crystal Polymer material, which is supposedly used for the flexible circuit boards. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo notes that the new material will boost internal data transmission capabilities. He further points out that the LCP will be provided by Flexium Interconnect, Avary Holding, and Dongshan Precision.

The Apple Watch Series 6 will reportedly expand the support for the water-resistance feature. Presently, the Apple Watch Series 5 supports up to 50 meters. The expanded water-resistance support could mean added water-related activities. Other features include faster Wi-Fi and 4G LTE speeds. The next Apple Watch with 5G is still a few years away though.

Apple Watch Series 6 Better Than Predecessors?

The Apple Watch Series 5 didn't have any significant upgrade over the previous Apple Watch Series 4. Be it in terms of designs or performance, it was quite similar to its predecessor. Of course, the always-on display was a new addition.

However, the new Apple Watch Series 6 is promising many new features. Some other reports have speculated that the upcoming Apple Watch would feature a microLED display and not an OLED panel. The reports further said that the Watch Series 6 would be the first to feature Apple's new display technology.

If the new display of the Apple Watch Series 6 is successful, future Apple iPhones, iPads, and possibly other Apple tech would feature it as well. However, the launch of the Apple Watch Series 6 is still months away and it's hard to be certain of any of these reports. For all we know, Apple can have a change of mind and concrete details will furnish at the official launch.
