Along with the iPhone, Apple has been updating the Apple Watch on an annual basis, and it is one of the devices that we may expect to see in the coming months.
Although we do get bits of information here and there, Apple Watch rumors are typically overtaken by iPhone rumors. This article contains all of our information about the Apple Watch Series 9.
An Iterative Update
Apple’s development resources in 2022 were focused on the Apple Watch Ultra, and we didn’t see a flurry of new features for the basic Series 8. We predict the same general situation this year – Apple is working on future Apple Watch technologies for the larger-sized model, and rumors say that the Series 9 will receive minor updates with few new capabilities for the time being.
Processor Improvements
The S8 chip in the Apple Watch Series 8 is the same as the S7 chip in the Apple Watch Series 7, which provided the same performance as the S6 chip in the Apple Watch Series 6, however, Apple is bringing new semiconductor technology with the S9.
The Apple Watch Series 9 will, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, include an S9 chip based on the same technology as the A15 chip. The upgraded chip could enhance battery life and load times by increasing speed and efficiency.
Battery Life
Any processor update could result in minor battery life gains, but we are not expecting major changes. Apple might also use the increased efficiency for greater always-on display functionality or other feature enhancements.
New Pink Color
According to one source, the Apple Watch Series 9 could arrive in “pink,” with the color available in the aluminum finish. Pink would be more delicate than hot pink and more similar to rose gold. Apple’s iPad Air, iPad mini, iPad, and iMac all have the same light pink color.
Apple Watch Series 9 design rumors
There haven’t been any Apple Watch Series 9 design rumors, but we’re not confident the design will alter significantly. The Apple Watch Series 4, 5, and 6 all feature nearly identical designs. So, assuming Apple follows a similar pattern, the Apple Watch Series 9 should resemble the last two Apple Watch models.
The Apple Watch Series 7 brought a larger and brighter display with narrower bezels, but aside from color options, there is no discernible design difference between the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Series 7. Having said that, it’s probable that the Apple Watch Series 9 will be available in limited edition colors. Who can say? It could possibly arrive in a size different than the current 41mm and 45mm possibilities.
We feel that now that the Apple Watch Ultra is available, the long-rumored flat-edged redesign of the Apple Watch is less likely. When comparing the Apple timepiece Series 8 vs. Apple Watch Ultra, the Ultra is a significantly more substantial timepiece.
Shrimp that are leakingThis notion was supported by Apple Pro, who noted that the Apple Watch Series 9 design isn’t noticeably different from the Apple Watch 8. They further claim that it will be available in eight different colors. According to reports, the aluminum model will be available in Midnight (black), Starlight (cream), Product Red, silver, and pink. Gold, graphite (dark grey), and silver variants are available in the Stainless Steel form.
Should you wait for Apple Watch Series 9?
The short answer is that you should not wait for the Apple Watch Series 9 to be released. Get the Apple Watch Series 8, the Apple Watch SE (2022), or even the Apple Watch Ultra if you want the most luxurious Apple Watch experience right now. Whatever you decide, there’s little point in waiting many months for the next Apple Watch.
That being said, you should bookmark this page for the most recent Apple Watch Series 9 upgrades. As we come closer to its eventual release, we may hear rumors and recommendations regarding upgrades that are important to you.
Other additions we want to see
It’s difficult to discover Apple Watch flaws at this point, and the iterative Series 8 upgrade reveals that even Apple is unsure of what it can do better. After all, the watch is already tightly linked to other Apple products and includes a wide range of fitness and health features such as blood oxygen monitoring, ECG, heart rate tracking, fall detection, crash detection, optional cellular connectivity, fitness challenges, and buddy competitions, and many more features are available.
While a future Apple Watch is rumored to support blood sugar monitoring, leaks indicate that a potential release is many years away. Better sleep tracking sensors that run automatically in the background, rather than relying on the set-in-stone, incorrect sleep pattern, would be a great improvement. Another fantastic addition would be mood monitoring, which would complement the existing Mindfulness app wonderfully. Some cheaper and smaller fitness trackers can already sense your mood, so there shouldn’t be any technical obstacles preventing Apple from doing the same.
While the Apple Watch Series 9 is still months away, the firm has most certainly finalized its plans for it by now. We can only hope that the business behind the fantastic Macs and iPads has some exciting news to announce this year. Because the 2022 model was so poor, I went from an Apple Watch SE 1 to an Apple Watch Series 7 after the Series 8 was out. Unless the Cupertino company surprises us with an attractive deal, I think I’ll continue with my Series 7 for at least another year.
