Just when we thought our wristbands were satisfied with the technology they carry, Apple surprises us again and again with something flashier, smarter and... This time the simple spirit of "Double Tapp"? What is it?! Introducing Apple Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2. If you're someone who likes to show off the latest technology, or if you're just curious about what Apple has been up to for the past year, you've come to the right place. Let's see what it brings, shall we?
The most popular watch in the world – the Apple Watch Series 9 – is getting a slight makeover
The Apple Watch, already the most popular watch in the world, just got a major upgrade. Series 9 features a new S9 SiP system with an incredible 60% more transistors than its predecessor. What does this mean for us mortals? 30% faster GPU and new 4-core NPU. In other words: faster, more responsive, and won't let you down when you're showing your friends your new watch face.
All-day battery? Yes, please!
With a promise of 18 hours of battery life, this watch ensures you're always connected, from your morning run to your late-night TikTok marathon. And with Siri processing directly on the device, you won't have to wait for answers. "Hey Siri, how many steps did I take today?" Expect a quick response, without the usual cloud detour.
Double tap: The feature we didn't know we needed
This is where it gets interesting. Series 9 introduces “Double Tap”, a pinch gesture using thumb and index finger. It's like magic, but science! By sensing changes in blood flow, you can play music, snooze alarms and even answer calls. Who needs a magic wand when you have a watch like this?
Bright nights and even brighter days
The Series 9 display can shine up to a peak brightness of 2000 nits. But if you glance at the clock during a late-night movie, it can dim to a gentle 1 thread. You'll never dazzle your date by checking the time during a boring movie again!
Eco-friendly and still fashionable
Apple's commitment to the environment shines through as the Watch 9 series is completely carbon neutral. They even introduced a new strap material, FineWoven, which has a smaller carbon footprint than leather. And for the fashion forward, the color options are sure to impress.
