Apple Watch 2 Release Date A Ray of Hope for Apple's Plummeting Smartwatch Sales?

Could the Apple Watch 2 release date make a significant difference for the rumored plummeting sales of the Cupertino-based tech giant? Word on the street is that Apple's wearable device is losing steam and could probably lose its appeal.

According to Wareable, prior to the Apple Watch 2 release date, Apple has suffered a sharp decline in sales with the IDC claiming a 55% drop compared to last year. Apple has sold a total of 3.6M Apple Watches in Q2 of 2015 as compared with a measly 1.6M units in Q2 of 2016.

Industry insiders are speculating that this decline could have something to do with the Apple Watch 2 release date. As the site pointed out, tech junkies have been anticipating a launch announcement since April, but the tech giant has yet to confirm any unveiling of the Apple Watch 2 just yet.

Apart from the highly anticipated Apple Watch 2 release date, tech junkies are excited to know what noteworthy features the new smart watch will have. Rumors have been rife that Apple fans are disappointed to see a lack of any aesthetic change in the wearable device.

According to Trusted Reviews, the Apple Watch 2 could get some major upgrades that include a selfie camera and additional buttons. These additional features will allegedly be the tech giant's response to the design overhaul some have been clamoring for. Consequently, these new features were reportedly leaked to the public when patents for the alleged camera and new buttons surfaced on the net.
