Bloomberg: Apple adding LTE to next Apple Watch [Update: New form factor this year]

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/apple-watch-airpods.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600&h=800)</div><p>[Update: John Gruber adds (https://daringfireball.net/linked/2017/08/04/businessweek-lte-apple-watch) that a new form factor is coming this year too:</p>
<p>“It’s hard to overstate just how big a deal this could be. No mention in Businessweek’s report, though, of the all-new form factor that I’ve heard is coming for this year’s new watches.”</p>
<p>This would mark the first external change since the Apple Watch debuted.]</p>
<p>Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-08-04/apple-said-to-ready-cellular-capable-watch-to-break-iphone-ties?cmpid=socialflow-twitter-business&amp;utm_content=business&amp;utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social) reports that Apple is planning to release an updated Apple Watch model by the end of this year with built-in cellular connectivity. Bringing cellular connectivity to the Apple Watch has been rumored (https://9to5mac.com/2016/04/25/report-apple-watch-2-cellular/) before but didn’t ship (https://9to5mac.com/2016/08/18/report-apple-watch-2-no-cellular-gaining-gps/) with the last revision which instead focused on GPS.</p>
