It looks like the Apple Watch Series 9 is getting a new chip. Good news! Because that is what the new smartwatch desperately needs.
Read on after the ad.
Apple Watch Series 9 gets a new chip
According to usually reliable Mark Gurman, the Apple Watch Series 9 will receive a new chip based on the A15 chip. You may be familiar with this chip, because it is also in the iPhone 13.
Gurman also says that this time it will really be a new chip and not just a new name pasted on a known chip. Thanks to this hardware upgrade, the Apple Watch Series 9 can become a bit faster and more efficient again. As a result, charging times become shorter and you can do a little longer with the battery.
watchOS 10 is coming
In addition, this faster chip can also help to smoothly run the new functions that will come in watchOS 10, which is nice. According to rumors, Apple will come with a considerable number of new features for the new operating system of the smartwatch. The company seems to focus mainly on a new system for widgets.

A better chip for the Apple Watch: it’s about time
The Apple Watch Series 8 basically uses the same S6 chip that we already saw in the Apple Watch Series 6. Apple calls the chip in the Apple Watch Series 8 the S8 chip, but it’s actually a two-year-old chip without many improvements. That’s why it’s nice that Apple has decided to give the Apple Watch Series 9 a real new chip. After three generations with the same chip, it was about time.
