Apple has unveiled the advanced new Apple Watch Series 9 – which also achieves a significant environmental milestone.

Since its launch eight years ago, the Apple Watch has become the favoured choice in the wearable technology sector. Building on that strong foundation is the Series 9, the first-ever carbonneutral Apple product and part of the Apple 2030 strategy.

With a clear focus on optimised performance, Apple continues to take the reins for the processing power of its products into its own hands and that is showcased in the all-new custom Apple silicon S9 SiP – its most superior watch chip yet.

Stepping up the level of functionality is a new four-core Neural Engine that can process machine learning tasks up to twice as fast, in comparison to the Series 8.

The chip’s power efficiency allows the watch to maintain an allday 18-hour battery life, which can be extremely helpful on days that you might be unable to easily access a charging point.

A new standout feature introduced with this model is the double tap gesture. It allows users to easily control the watch using just one hand and without touching the display. Users can now tap the index finger and thumb of their watch hand together twice to quickly and conveniently perform common actions.

The maximum brightness of the watch’s display is up to 2,000 nits, making it much easier to read text in bright sunlight.

For the first time on Apple Watch, Siri can now process requests that do not require information from the internet, such as starting a workout or setting a timer.

The Series 9 is available in 41mm and 45mm sizes. Starlight, Midnight, silver, Product Red and a new pink in aluminium, as well as a stainless-steel case in gold, silver and graphite. ✤
