Two years after the official launch of the Apple Watch, the brand's third-generation smartwatch could have a SIM card slot, according to reports by various tech news websites. The next Apple Watch could well incorporate the new eSIM technology, meaning a SIM card built into the watch. This has prompted a string of manufacturers to offer smartwatches with a SIM card and 4G connectivity. Some of the more high-end examples of this include the LG Watch Sport, LG Watch Style and the Huawei Watch 2. The increasing availability of smartwatches with 4G is one of the reasons why Apple cannot launch a new generation of the Apple Watch which is not standalone.
