More news and rumors are coming out in relation to the Apple Watch 2, including what is promised to be a better battery life.

According to the report, the decision by the tech company to shift to micro LED panels from OLED will only help extend the battery life of the Apple Watch 2. Aside from the battery life, it will also help ensure a more vibrant display that is able to support higher resolutions.

Aside from that, micro LED also allows the company to make an even thinner device. It's also reported to be more independent of the iPhone, which means the user need not be connected to his or her smartphone.
