<p>The Apple Watch 2 may not have a cellular option after all, according to a new Bloomberg report (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-18/apple-said-to-hit-roadblocks-in-cutting-watch-ties-to-iphone). Back in April, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple was considering the option for cellular connectivity (https://9to5mac.com/2016/04/25/report-apple-watch-2-cellular/) in the next Apple Watch version — something that I wasn’t sure the watch needed yet (https://9to5mac.com/2016/04/25/opinion-apple-watch-2-cellular/) — but today’s report says the company has “hit roadblocks in making major changes that would connect its Watch to cellular networks and make it less dependent on the iPhone.”</p>
