The New Apple Watch Series 9: Top Features Revealed

One of the most noticeable features on the Apple Watch Series 9 is its display. The display has been improved with an increased brightness, now reaching 2000 nits, which makes it easier to see the watch face in bright sunlight. This improvement allows users to view their watch face more clearly, even when outdoors. Additionally, the display can dim all the way down to 1 nit, making it suitable for use in dark environments such as movie theaters or bedrooms at night.

Another notable feature on the Apple Watch Series 9 is its dictation capabilities. The S9 chip has been upgraded with a new neural engine that makes the dictation process faster and more accurate. In my testing, I found that dictation was 25% more accurate than previous versions of the Apple Watch. While it's unclear if this improvement is due to increased speed or accuracy, it's clear that the S9 chip has brought significant enhancements to the dictation feature.

In another notable development, Apple has baked its Ultra wideband (UWB) chip into the S9 chip itself. This new "system-in-package" design combines multiple components, including the W3 Wireless chip and the CPU, GPU, and UWB chip, into a single chipset. Two notable features that benefit from this upgrade are Precision Finding for iPhones and HomePod integration.

With the new Ultra wideband chip, users can combine their Apple Watch Series 9 with an iPhone 15 to get precise location tracking of their device. This feature provides direction, distance, visual haptic feedback, and audio guidance when finding a lost iPhone. When approaching a HomePod, the S9 watch automatically launches the now-playing controls, making it easy to control media playback on the nearby device. Additionally, media suggestions will appear at the top of the smart stack on the Apple Watch, allowing users to easily play content on their HomePod.

In terms of design, the Apple Watch Series 9 comes in a brand-new pink colorway. While some may prefer the rose Gold version that was available earlier, this new pink hue offers a subtle and elegant appearance that pairs well with various band options. The watch is also carbon neutral in certain configurations, depending on the bands chosen. In these cases, Apple will even display a badge on the packaging to indicate that the device has been produced using environmentally friendly materials.

These top features of the Apple Watch Series 9 are significant upgrades over previous models, and they demonstrate Apple's continued commitment to innovation and user experience. Whether you're looking for improved displays, faster dictation capabilities, or enhanced location tracking, the S9 chip delivers in these areas.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwe're doing this nine top new features of the Apple Watch series 9. number one on the list the new S9 sip the new S9 sip is the first biggest CPU upgrade for the Apple watch in years and it makes using the Apple watch even faster than before but there are individual differences between the S9 and the S8 that make the Apple Watch series 9 even better including the four core neural engine that can process machine learning tasks up to twice as fast as it could before that brings us to number two that is double tap which isn't arriving yet but will arrive this October this is enabled by the new four core neural engine and it does more features than the accessibility quick actions feature that I've already highlighted on this channel it processes data coming from multiple sensors on your Apple watch including the accelerometer gyroscope and even the optical heart rate sensor with a new machine learning algorithm that detects difference in wrist movements and changes in blood flow when you're index finger and thumb perform that double tap gesture you can control a bunch of features on your Apple watch including accessing the smart stack taking a photo answering call playing back music and even more I can't wait to show you more about double tap when it launches this October number three on the list is on device Siri thanks to this new feature Siri is faster than ever on the Apple Watch series 9. many tasks that don't require the internet connection are now nearly instantaneous and they no longer have that long delay that Apple watch was known for anytime you need to make a conversion start a workout anything like that it acts pretty much right away that brings us to the fourth new feature on the list is accessing and logging Health Data with Siri so again this is brought To Us by the new neural engine on the S9 sip you can ask Siri a bunch of different questions about your health which is extremely useful on the Apple watch because there is no Health app on the Apple watch you can ask Siri on the Apple watch how much you slept last night what your blood sugar levels are if you have a glucose monitor connected you can check on your activity rings for the day you can even long Health Data including your weight something that you ate medication your period anything like that can just be logged using your voice on the Apple watch number five the display this is a big upgrade for the display that they're bringing kind of from the Apple watch Ultra they're now increasing the brightness of the display to 2000 nit which is more noticeable when you're outside than when you're inside in direct sunlight it is now easier to see your watch face than it was before plus it is able to dim the display all the way down to one knit if you're ever in a movie theater or in bed at night in your Trend Checker Apple watch and don't want to be blinded or blind other people this is very useful because you can just brighten up that display a little bit check what's on it dim it back down again it's not going to Blind you so now one knit is the lowest brightness level on the Apple Watch series 9. number six dictation again we're going back to that S9 sip which is pulling a lot of the legwork here on the series nine and now we have dictation this 25 percent more accurate in my testing it also seems very fast I can't tell if it's faster than the previous versions but it does seem very quick and apple says it is 25 more accurate than it was before definitely between the speed improvements and the accuracy this is going to be a win for using dictation on your Apple watch number seven the second generation Ultra wide band chip Apple actually bakes its Ultra wide band chip into the S9 sip so the s9p stands for system in package and includes many different components including the W3 Wireless chip the new second generation Ultra wideband chip the CPU GPU all baked into that one single chipset so the new second generation Ultra wideband ship brings two notable features that I want to mention here first is precision finding for your iPhone if you happen to be pairing the new Apple watch series 9 with an iPhone 15 you can combine these two together and get distance direction as well as visual haptic and audio guidance when you're finding your iPhone you don't have to make it play this loud chirping noise every time now you can get a directional feedback on your watch as you get closer and closer trying to find your iPhone even if it's in another room plus this even works with homepod as you approach a homepod the F1 series 9 will automatically launch the now playing controls so you can easily control the media from your wrist if nothing's playing on the homepod media suggestions will appear at the top of the smart stack on the Apple Watch series 9. just use double tap to open up smart stack or swipe up or from the bottom or scroll up using the digital crown and boom you have media suggestions that you can immediately play on that nearby Home pod as an added benefit the second generation Ultra wideband chip has much more range than the prior generation chipset number eight on the list is this brand new pink colorway I prefer this than the rose Gold version that had a little bit of a copper pink Hue to it this is just more of a subtle pink and I honestly think that it changes a little bit depending on the situation you classes up with this different type of band it can look nicer you can put a silicone band on it and make it look more you know day to day I just think this is a great color to join the rest of the Apple Watch series 9 options finally rounding out the list in certain configurations the app want series 9 is carbon neutral now again this will depend on the bands that you choose with it and there are even new band options including this new sport band that you see in this video there's the new find woven bands but in certain configurations the Apple Watch series 9 will be carbon neutral and apple will even bestow a badge upon the box so that you will know when you are buying a carbon neutral configuration so that's it those are nine top
