Kuo: Apple Watch Series 6 to offer improved water resistance and better performance
Ming-Chi Kuo revealed his latest Apple predictions and this time it's about the next-gen Apple Watch. The Series 6, he says, will come with the new S6 chip and offer a performance jump from the current generation’s S5. Now that's hardly a tough thing to predict, but Kuo also says the Apple Watch 6 will ship with an LCP (liquid crystal polymer) circuit board which would translate to improved cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity.

We’re still a long way away from the next-gen Apple Watch as its announcement is believed to come in the second half of 2020.
