Kuo Suggests Limited Innovation in 2024 Apple Watch

Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that the 2024 Apple Watch is unlikely to introduce significant innovative features.

The original Apple Watch was announced in September 2014 and became available in April 2015. Kuo's information provided today is s...
