The next Apple Watch won’t change that much, even though it should

If you were looking forward to the Apple Watch 2.0 in 2016, a well-k**wn analyst has just thrown a nice bucket of ice-cold water on the idea
According to Apple Insider, KGI Securities analyst and Apple oracle Ming-Chi Kuo says (http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/04/11/2016-apple-watch-will-be-internal-s-upgrade-major-design-changes-to-wait-until-2017-insider-says) Apple is working on an Apple Watch "S" update, one that will leave the current design intact, but refresh numerous internal components. As a result, the next Apple Watch could be faster, have a longer battery life and a slightly better screen, but look exactly like the last one.

Incremental changes should come as ** surprise in a market as immature as smartwatches. Littered with the corpses of failed wearables (http://mashable.com/2014/04/22/nike-fuelband-exit-apple/), it’s a market that merits a cautious approach. And perhaps Apple’s position as the big fish in a small pond of wearable competitors probably gives it the right to set the tone. Even as Apple’s somewhat halting approach to Apple Watch updates frustrates those who’ve come to expect bold, yearly updates on major product categories (like the iPhone), it would be foolish to mess with the design and major functions when you can incrementally build, quarter over quarter, to a sustainable business.
