Apple is reportedly working on a ‘non-iPhone Apple Watch’

A new Apple Watch might be popping up on our horizon and it’ll have one big advantage over its predecessors: it won’t need an iPhone to work. Bloomberg reports that Apple is reportedly working on a version of its smartwatch that will connect to LTE mobile networks. They have supposedly started talking to providers in the US and Europe to launch this device later this year. And Intel will supposedly be supplying the LTE modems for the new Apple Watch.

If there is some truth to the report, this will help boost Apple’s recent focus on the fitness benefits/credentials of the Apple Watch. Being able to untether the Apple Watch from the iPhone can bring with it the capabilities to let users bring songs with them to listen to when they’re running or are at the gym. Direct connection might even let them reply to messages and calls right from the wearable device. One of the biggest concerns will be battery life, though. With the iPhone augmenting some of the computational strain on the Apple Watch, making the wearable a standalone device would need a better battery.

iPhone SE expected to get a performance upgrade early next year

The most unnasuming iPhone is also one of Apple's most important models. The iPhone SE is ideal for users who want a smaller smartphone but who also crave the latest (somewhat) specs. With identical specs to the iPhone 6S, the iPhone SE also has an outstanding camera and, because of its smaller display, impressive battery life.

Apple has increased the iPhone SE's storage capacity and it looks like the wee iPhone is also going to get a pricessor update early next year. Rumour has it that the iPhone SE will be getting last year's A10 chip. Fingers crossed, hopefully Apple improves the display technology on the iPhone SE, which still rocks the same display that the iPhone 5 had.

2018 Nissan Leaf render teases what's to come for the popular EV

With 277,000 units sold so far, its hard to argue that the Nissan Leaf isn't the best-selling EV in the world. The previous model looked more a like a proof of concept prototype rather than a production vehicle but many Leaf owners loved their cars just the same, not just for the savings in energy the car offers but because of its fun and quirky personality.

Renders of the 2018 Nissan Leaf show a completely redesigned and more aggressive stance with sleeker lines and a more futuristic profile. The upcoming Nissan Leaf looks amazing and will reportedly have a prototype with a range of 165 miles (265 kilometers), which isn't only an improvement over its predecessor, it puts it right in the mix with the 2017 Chevy Bolt and Tesla's new Model 3.
