departure date, prices and everything we think we know about them

The iPhone 15 is not going to come alone. If tradition continues, along with it we should see the arrival of a new generation of Apple Watch. Apple’s smart watch wants to remain the most popular on the market, as it continues to focus on the safety and health of its owners.

We are about eight months away from its official presentation (if there are no unforeseen events), so let’s see what it is everything we know about this Apple Watch Series 9 about which we should soon begin to hear more rumors.

What will the design of the Apple Watch Series 9 be like?

Here we have a dilemma: we have spent three years in which rumors promise a redesign of the watch, and in the three years that has ended up being denied. Inevitably It’s hard to trust what the rumors about that design can tell us. nowadays. For now, it is confident that the external appearance will not vary too much from what we have now.

What news can the Apple Watch Series 9 bring?

At the moment there are no definite rumors of the changes that we could see in the next Apple Watch, although if we look at the launch schedule of the previous generations we could talk about new sensors and a slightly faster chip than its predecessors. Hopefully we could also talk about more autonomy.

We cannot ignore that we have been talking about the possible arrival of the blood glucose sensor for many years, which would make the Apple Watch a very suitable device for people with diabetes. But it is something that still does not have a probable release date defined.

How many Apple Watch models will there be in 2023?

The Apple Watch catalog is not supposed to change too much. We would have three models:

• An inexpensive Apple Watch SE that we probably won’t see updated this year
• An Apple Watch Series 9, with its Nike and Hermès variants
• An Apple Watch Ultra from which we could (or not) see improvements

Perhaps there is a previous generation that continues to sell: Apple could keep the Apple Watch Series 8 in stores along with the Series 9 if that covers a price segment that the Apple Watch SE does not reach. It wouldn’t be the first time it would happen.

What price will the new Apple Watch Series 9 have?

Inflation can cause the occasional price increase here, although if we want something approximate we can look at the current prices of the Apple Watch Series 8:

• Models with aluminum case and sports strap from 499 euros
• Models with stainless steel case and sports strap from 849 euros

We may see a slight increase (529 and 899 euros?) If inflation continues to skyrocket, but it is something that we can only leave as a possibility for now. With a bit of luck the prices can be maintained.

What is the release date of the Apple Watch Series 9?

Most likely, Apple will stick to its annual launch schedule and launch the Apple Watch Series 9 along with the iPhone 15, in early September of this year. Along with the launch of those watches we would also have the arrival of watchOS 9.
