The Apple Watch Series 2 looks similar to the previous version but it's now resistant to depths of up to 50 meters and has a built-in GPS.
It is faster, it is brighter, it is water resistant so you can swim with it, it's got built-in GPS and it's got all of the power
Of watchOS 3.
iPhone sales have plateaued in recent quarters, with many wondering how Apple can reverse the trend.
Apple's iPhone event is vital for the company.
