Apple’s updated wearables feature its latest in-house silicon, offering significantly faster performance and enabling a range of new features.
Apple unveiled its latest generation of smartwatches — the Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2 — during its product launch event on Tuesday, 12 September 2023.
The Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2 pack Apple’s S9 chip, which features a 56 billion-transistor CPU and four-core neural engine. Apple Watch product marketing director Deirdre Caldbeck said the four-core neural engine makes on-device Siri request processing a reality. This results in faster responses and improved security.
On the other hand, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 has an entirely flat display capable of reaching up to 3,000 nits of brightness.Like on iPhones, NameDrop lets wearers bring their devices near one another and easily share contact information. “Precision Finding provides distance and direction, as well as visual, haptic, and audio guidance to a misplaced iPhone, even if it is in a different room,” Apple said.Apple added a new gesture for the Apple Watch Series 9 — Double Tap — letting wearers answer or end calls, start or stop timers, and play or pause music by tapping their index finger and thumb together twice.
