6 Reasons to Wait for the Apple Watch 4 & 4 Reasons Not To

Wait if You Want Better Battery Life

The Apple Watch 3 is rated for "all day use" with 18 hours of battery life on one charge. If you want an Apple Watch that lasts multiple days, you may want to wait to see what the new Apple Watch can deliver. Kuo's report indicates longer battery life is coming, but it isn't clear if it will come from a bigger battery or enhancements. 

Apple upped the ante with the Apple Watch 3, upgrading the battery life while listening to music from 6.5 hours to 10 hours. We didn't see any major changes to the Apple Watch 3 battery life when working out or with GPS, which is an area we would love to see expanded in the new Apple Watch. 

While we don't quite expect to see an Apple Watch battery that lasts multiple days, especially with GPS and LTE options, but it would be great to see the battery life grow and be able to track hear rates more often. 

We now have fast charging in the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, but there is no fast charging in the Apple Watch yet. That's another area where we could see Apple upgrade the iPhone.
