Apple Watch surpassed other competitors to become the best-selling wearable device in the first quarter of 2015.
Apple Watch Series 2, which was unveiled in 2016, followed the huge success of the first model. With the Apple Watch 2, Apple finally turned its wearable device into a useful and powerful item that allows you to do a lot of things right on your wrist.
Last year, Apple debuted the third generation Apple Watch after relentless rumors and reports. The Apple Watch 3 marks the first Apple’s wearable to feature LTE functionality.

When it comes to pricing, rumors claim that the Apple Watch 4 will cost more than $399 at launch. However, we are expecting a modest price increase over the Apple Watch Series 3. Sources say that the 4th generation Apple Watch will feature LTE functionality, but Apple will improve the feature to offer a better user experience.
