Read our privacy policy Apple is planning to release an updated version of the Apple Watch next year, according to reports, which will feature a video camera, more independence from the iPhone, and new models. The company has already been moving to make the Apple Watch more independent, announcing earlier this month that in its new version of the operating system it will be able to run apps on its own. While many worried about how long it would last before the Watch was released, the battery has mostly received positive reviews — like the iPad, the company is expected to update the battery so that it stays the same despite new features, rather than dramatically extending the time it can go without being charged. Many had warned that the Apple Watch would be a long-term project, and that customers might be better waiting for the functionality that is expected to be released with the second version of the wearable.
