Android Wear smartwatches are primed to break free of their smartphone shackles, but the same is not yet true of the upcoming Apple Watch 2, which is slated for release later this year.
Apple’s engineers haven’t been able to solve battery drain problems associated with cellular connectivity, which has forced the company to save the feature for models further down the road, according to a published report.
Cupertino has a second-generation Apple Watch on deck for later this year, possibly as soon as September, and it will have some new features, reports Bloomberg.
