It seems rumors of Apple Watch 2 getting a June release date could turn out be true as its predecessor has received Memorial Day discount.

According to Yibada, Apple Watch is being offered at $200 discount by electronics retailer Best Buy. It is to be noted that the discount is available on the standard stainless steel model and has limited sports band options. Taking the discount into consideration, people can buy the wearable for just $350 or $400 on this Memorial Day weekend.

Usually, price discounts on current models indicate that a new model is making its way very soon. We are hoping this holds true in the case of Apple Watch as well.

There are two possible release dates for Apple Watch 2- Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco in June and the expected September iPhone 7 launch event.

As far as the Apple Watch 2 specifications are concerned, rumors suggest that the upcoming smartwatch could be entirely independent of the iPhone. At present, the smart watch's main use is as an extension of the iPhone.

It is expected that the next generation Apple Watch will feature true cellular connectivity. This means users will be able to make calls, send texts and connect to the internet without the need of the iPhone. The new watch is expected to run the latest version of Watch OS 2.2, reported Christian Daily.

Meanwhile, recent reports are claiming that the Apple Watch 2 will arrive with the same design as its predecessor, it is expected that the upcoming smartwatch will come loaded with new and exciting features.

The next-gen smartwatch might pack a new processor that will deliver better performance for apps and overall watch performance. The iPhone maker is also planning to add a FaceTime camera to the smart watch for video calls.

Another important aspect of the upcoming smartwatch will be improved battery life. The smartwatch is also expected to be significantly waterproof and come with numerous health-tracking features. There are also possibilities of a new gesture control in Apple Watch 2.

CEO Tim Cook recently announced that the upcoming Apple Watch will function the same as car warning systems and will alert users of a potential health problem early, according to ITPro.

We advise our readers to take the information with a grain of salt as Apple has not confirmed anything yet.
