Apple to announce Apple Watch Series 9 with the same design but offer new heart rate monitor and upgraded existing sensors, more
The last-minute details were shared by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, suggesting that the forthcoming Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 will come with a new heart rate monitor and upgraded sensors. The analyst highlights what he expects Apple to announce at its highly anticipated event. It was previously rumored that the Apple Watch Series 9 would feature the same design as the Series 8 but will come with a new S9 chip and a pink color option. As for the Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple will introduce a dark gray titanium finish.
The analyst mentions that both variants of the Apple Watch will come with new sensors and numerous component upgrades. He also says Apple's focus this year for the Apple Watch is speed, accuracy, and efficiency. To fulfill its ambitions, the company will introduce a new optical heart rate sensor in the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2. The company will also upgrade existing sensors which will allow for more accurate reading of health metrics. This is the first time that we are hearing details on the new sensors for Series 9 ahead of its announcement next week.
The report also states that the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 will come with a new U2 chip. The new ultra-wideband chip will be upgraded from the U1 chip which made its debut back in 2019. The new chip will offer various benefits over U1 with enhanced location tracking. Additionally, we have also previously heard that the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 will come with the new S9 chip based on the A15 Bionic for faster computational and graphical performance.
Lastly, Gurman suggests that the Apple Watch Series 9 design will remain the same but will use 3D-printed casing. As for the Apple Watch Ultra 2, it will be manufactured using recycled material and will offer a new black color option. The company will also offer titanium finishes in different color options. The rest of the design of the Apple Watch Ultra will remain the same. We will be covering the event extensively, so be sure to stick around.
