LG will reportedly launch OLED screen-toting G Watch 2 at IFA

Looks like LG was taking the criticisms against their first Android Wear device seriously, if rumours are to be believed that is. The South Korean tech firm just barely introduced its first G Watch and now there are reports that they will be introducing the G Watch 2 at IFA next month. The updated version of the smartwatch will reportedly carry an OLED screen, which will be a big departure from the LCD screen of the first-gen smartwatch. It will also feature an updated look to counter criticisms against the G Watch’s plain, uninspired design.

Report claims Apple to debut iPad with anti-glare displays

Aside from new iPhones, new rumours have surfaced that Apple plans to introduce new iPads. Bloomberg reports there will be a new 9.7-inch iPad that will be introduced near the end of the quarter and a 7.9-inch iPad mini coming out a few months after that. These new tablets will reportedly have anti-glare screens. This might make its debut around October when the rumoured smartwatch will be introduced. Of course, we have to take this with a grain of salt at the moment.
