According to Mac World, Apple might unveiled the Apple Watch 2 along with the rumored and highly anticipated iPad Air 3 and iPhone 6c.

Apple is keen into developing the Apple Watch as a high-tech wearable gadget.

"We don't want to put the watch through the Food and Drug Administration process," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in an interview with The Telegraph.

"I wouldn't mind putting something adjacent to the watch through it, but not the watch, because it would hold us back from innovating too much, the cycles are too long. But you can begin to envision other things that might be adjacent to it - maybe an app, maybe something else."
