The Apple Watch Series 9 is on the way and according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, it will feature an updated processor based on the A15 chip that was first used in the iPhone 13 models.
Apple has been releasing continuous updates to the Apple Watch over the past few years, each time improving the features and speed. However, the Apple Watch Series 8 uses the same chip as the Series 7, so the S8 chip in the Series 8 is already two years old. So it's time for an upgrade and that's exactly what the Apple Watch Series 9 will bring. According to Gurman The new Series 9 chip will be a "new processor" and not a rebranding of the previous generation chip. The chip is expected to be based on the A15 chip that was first used in the iPhone 13 models.
Apple Watch Series 9: New processor for faster performance
With an updated chip based on A15 technology, the Apple Watch Series 9 could become faster and more efficient, which would translate into faster charging times and longer battery life. The new chip could also support some of the new features Apple is planning for watchOS 10, including a new widget system. Although major design updates are not expected for the Apple Watch Series 9, the new chip will provide a small speed boost. This is especially pleasing for users who use their Apple Watch every day and rely on fast and efficient performance. (Image: Apple)
