Apple on Tuesday officially announced Apple Watch Series 9, the next generation of its smartwatch, during the company’s special “Wonderlust” event. The new version of the Apple Watch comes in a design that’s identical to the previous generation, but now with a faster processor and improved sensors.
What’s new with Apple Watch Series 9
For years, the Apple Watch processor remained the same. More specifically, Apple hasn’t introduced a faster chip since the Series 6 in 2020. This year, however, the SiP (system in a package) S9 in the Apple Watch Series 9 features a faster GPU and GPU. This means that users will notice reduced loading times when opening apps or rebooting the system.
The S9 SiP also has a new version of Apple’s ultra-wideband chip. Similar to the U1 chip, the new chip provides “spatial awareness,” allowing the device to precisely detect the location of other devices nearby equipped with the same technology. With ultra wide-band, Apple is making this technology even more precise, which enables new features when using Find My.
