The first novelty of the autumn Apple Event is a smart watch Apple Watch Series 9, which are successors to last year’s eighth-line watches. The new model is equipped with the Watch OS 10 system, the watch runs on the new S9 chipset, which is again much more powerful than before. Thanks to the greater performance of the NPU, Siri evaluates basic commands directly on the watch, thereby eliminating the delay when communicating with the cloud.
At first glance, the watch has not changed significantly. They are equipped with a Retina display that fills most of the front surface. Compared to the previous generation, the display has twice the brightness (up to 2,000 nits), while in the dark the brightness of the display can drop to 1 nit. The body of the watch is made of aluminum or stainless steel. In the first case, the watch will be available in pink, gold, silver, black and red. If you opt for stainless steel, you can choose from gold, black and blue color variants.
Apple Watch Series 9 is the first angle-neutral product from Apple. They will be offered with aluminum and steel bodies in 41 and 45 mm sizes, and in several color shades. The pink version is new this time
The watch is powered by the new S9 processor, which has faster voice recognition, so Siri does not need to contact remote servers to perform basic commands. Siri now also has access to health information on the watch, so you can ask her, for example, how you slept or what medicines you should take. However, this feature will only work in English for now. The watch runs the WatchOS 10 system, which is expected to support the Namedrop function. In addition, you can remotely search for a paired iPhone from the watch, using second-generation UWB technology.
However, the most important thing is hidden under a completely inconspicuous gesture. By firmly tapping your thumb and index finger together, you control the primary button of the application that is running on the Apple Watch. Apple uses machine learning and blood flow detection to recognize this gesture. You can use it to turn off the stopwatch or to answer or end a call. Apple claims you’ll simply use this gesture “everywhere, everywhere.” Primarily in situations where you don’t have the other hand free.
The main bonus of the watch is a new gesture for controlling it with one hand. Just tap your index finger and thumb together twice
Apple also places great emphasis on ecology. The Watch Series 9 is Apple’s first ever carbon neutral product. And this with a specific combination of body and straps, which use a much larger proportion of recycled materials. Apple Watch Series 9 will go on sale on September 22, prices start at CZK 11,490.
