Changes From the Previous Year
To start this new Apple watch series 9 review, we have to start with the changes. People were looking forward to the products to be released in 2023. The all-new Apple watch series 9 is one of them. Although the new Apple watch series 9 has not changed much and there are very few changes from the previous years’ watch, the changes are quite significant. For one, the new chip is a joy. The new S9 chip is a significant upgrade from last year’s S8 chip.
S9 Chip
The most important and significant change in this new Apple Watch Series 9 review is the chipset. It has somewhere around 5.6 billion transistors making it significantly powerful, almost 30 per cent powerful in graphics performance. Along with the performance gains, the new S9 chips also enable the ‘Double Tap’ feature which is currently only available in watchOs 10.1 Beta. The double-tap feature allows you to control a multitude of tasks like answering calls, navigating through music and many more. Most of the people who wear smartwatches will appreciate this feature as this feature allows you to answer calls even if your hands are busy. Although this new feature is a learning curve, it serves a greater purpose. Third-party apps might also want to use this feature to make their app more desirable.
On top of that, the new S9 chip also increases the capability of Siri by allowing it to do tasks like starting a timer and controlling smart home appliances without the need for the internet. Apple also claims that the new S9 chip will allow Apple to have a 25% faster neural engine which will help in dictation and voice recognition and this is one of the major points in this new Apple Watch series 9 review
All New Screen
Another one of the key points of the new Apple Watch Series 9 review is the fact that the watch also comes with an upgraded screen. Last year the peak brightness of the Apple Watch Series 8 was 1000 nits which is bright but not enough for some outside conditions. This year Apple has doubled up on their screen brightness to 2000 nits which is very impressive. Most of the people who wear smartwatches wear them when they are going out, mostly in sunlight. What’s the point of having a watch that you can’t read under sunlight? Having a 2000 nits display means that you don’t have to face that problem ever again.
More Storage
Another thing that is very important to consider in gadgets nowadays is storage. The all-new Apple watch series 9 comes with 64 GB storage which will help you store more music, movies and podcasts. Last year’s Apple watch came with a 32 GB capacity which is just half of the new Apple Watch Series 9.
Better For Environment
In this new Apple watch series 9 review we will also discuss how this is the first time that Apple has marketed their smartwatches as carbon neutral. Apple says that the new Apple watch series 9, paired with any new sports loop will be a carbon-neutral product.
Apple says that the new Apple watch series uses 30% more recyclable materials and 100 clean energy for the watch’s manufacturing and use. Since Apple watch series 5, Apple has been using recyclable aluminium but this year they have used 100 per cent recyclable Gold, Tin, Tungsten and other materials. Apple also uses batteries that are made up of 100 per cent recyclable cobalt.
Final Thoughts
In this new Apple watch series 9 review we learnt that the new Apple watch series 9 is probably the best watch on the market today. From features to price, it’s a good choice for anyone who is looking for a smart and rugged watch.
