Apple Watch ****** 2 Continues to Offer Same Battery Life as Original Apple Watch
 

Despite rumors suggesting the Apple Watch ****** 2 models would feature longer battery life than the original Apple Watch models, technical specifications for the new devices shared by Apple suggest the Apple Watch ****** 2 will continue to offer up to 18 hours of battery life -- the same as Apple Watch ****** 1.

Part leaks indicate the Apple Watch ****** 2 may indeed have a larger battery built into it, but it appears any increase in battery capacity is being consumed by the new GPS chip introduced in the ****** 2. GPS, which will bring better location tracking to the Apple Watch, can drain a significant amount of battery.

Apple didn't mention the battery life of the Apple Watch ****** 2 on stage or point towards any battery improvements, so we will need to wait for a device teardown to see exactly what's inside.

In addition to a new GPS chip, the Apple Watch ****** 2 features a more water resistant casing suitable for swimming, a display that's brighter in direct sunlight, and a second-generation dual-core S2 system-on-a-chip that offers 2x faster graphics performance and 50 percent faster CPU performance. Power drawn by the GPS chip may also be mitigated by the new S2.
