Smartwatches have made an entirely new era and Apple has contributed a lot in making this. Each year along with other Apple products, Apple also introduces the smartwatch series which is going to update to the Apple Watch series 9 this year in September.
Apple users were a little bit disappointed in the past due to no major change in the apple watch series 8 as compared to Series 7. More or less the same is going to happen this year, especially after the statement of Mark Gurman in April 2023 that “the Apple Watch Series 9 upgrade will be anything except major.”
However, many rumors are spread in the market since June 2023 about the latest watch series by Apple. Here are Apple Watch Series 9 features according to leaks and rumors.
Design and build:
It is assumed according to leaks, that there will be no significant change in the Apple watch series 9. The display will feature itself exactly same as it was in Apple Watch series 8. Yet, we can see a considerable change in the apple watch ultra having a thin bezel which ultimately increases its screen area. Another considerable change Apple watch ultra will be of dark titanium color. Besides, every single thing will be the same as it was seen in previous models.
Health measuring
Besides, another feature can be an electrodermal activity sensor that will measure the stress level. Another one is a bioimpedance sensor that can measure body composition is also expected to be introduced in the Apple Watch Series 9.
Processor:
Apple smart watches uses bionic chips which unfortunately have not been updated for 3 years. Apple launched the s7 chip for Apple watch series 7, yet it was so disappointing that except for the name, there was not a single difference in working and performance. Similarly, the S8 chip was also pretty identical to the s7. However, we expect somehow difference in the S9 chip as according to it is going to equip an A15 design. That’s why we are expecting much fast working from this smartwatch.
Charging:
Ever since its initial debut, Apple Watch has harnessed the power of wireless charging, facilitated by its distinct proprietary puck. However, this exclusivity has rendered both MagSafe and Qi wireless chargers ineffectual, asking users to accumulate additional cables and charging pads. Yet, Apple has hidden the details about the charging of the Apple Watch Series 9 from the world.
Fresh Pink Hue
Rumors hint at a potential “pink” option for the upcoming Apple Watch Series 9, as suggested by a reliable leaker. If this comes to reality, the shade would likely resemble a refined rose gold tone. This will express a subtle charm rather than a vivid pink. A similar delicate pink shade is already in use across Apple’s products like the iPad Air, iPad mini, and iMac.
Apple Watch series 9 release date:
As of now, the exact release date for the Apple Watch Series 9 is still up in the air. The Apple Event is expected to happen around September 12 or September 13, according to a report from Bloomberg.
If things follow a similar pattern as previous launches, pre-orders for the Apple Watch could kick off starting September 15, followed by the official sale date on September 22. This timeline aligns with the anticipated release pattern for the iPhone 15.
The big question remains whether the Apple Watch Series 9 will share the stage with other smartwatches during its launch. While rumors have been floating around about the Apple Watch Ultra 2, it looks like we might have to wait until 2024 for its arrival, as current beliefs suggest.
