New year, new Apple smartwatches.
Jay Petersa news editor who writes about technology, video games, and virtual worlds. He’s submitted several accepted emoji proposals to the Unicode Consortium.Apple announced the Apple Watch Series 9 at its Wonderlust event on Tuesday, and it will eventually include a whole new double-tap gesture.
One of the biggest changes is a new S9 SiP . The CPU has 5.6 billion transistors, a GPU that’s 30 percent faster, and a four-core neural engine. That translates to improvements like Siri requests being processed on the device. The watch also has a second-generation ultra wideband chip to help with precision finding with your iPhone. One other improvement is a brighter display: Apple says it can get as bright as 2000 nits, which is double the maximum you can get from the Series 8.
The Series 9 also offers a “double-tap” feature that lets you tap your index finger and thumb together to do things like answer a phone call. It’s kind of similar to the tapping feature that Apple demoed with . And Apple already offers something like it through AssistiveTouch. The double-tap feature is coming as part of a software update in October.The Apple Watch Series 9 will be available in aluminum in pink, starlight, silver, midnight, and product red, and the stainless steel versions will be available in gold, silver, and graphite. You can order the Apple Watch Series 9 beginning Tuesday. It will be available on September 22nd. It starts at $399.
Apple is also promoting some improvements on the environmental front for the Apple Watch. The company claims it’s Apple’s first carbon neutral product when paired with a new Sport Loop band, and the company says its smaller packaging lets it more easily ship more devices at a time.
