Apple Watch 9.. What has changed about it?

2023-12-11 04:00:58

Although Apple regularly makes improvements to its smartwatches, the improvements it made to models launched last fall were less than expected.

Although the Apple Watch 9 smart watch includes the S9 multiprocessor unit, the power of the processor has barely been noticed in daily life uses since the launch of the Apple Watch 6 three years ago.

The American company explained that it has increased the level of graphics by a third, and this can be seen in applications such as the Maps and Weather application, which have become somewhat faster, but in other applications the user will not notice any difference.

5nm architecture
It is also disappointing that the new manufacturing technology is not noticeable when it comes to energy consumption; The S9 processor is no longer manufactured using the 7-nanometer architecture, but is now manufactured using the 5-nanometer architecture, which means that there are a much larger number of transistors in the same area, and this actually leads to lower power consumption.

However, in practice, the user must recharge the battery after about 18 hours because the higher efficiency of the S9 processor does not extend the battery operating period as expected.

Very bright screen
The new Apple Watch 9 smart watch currently includes a very bright screen, as it has a brightness level of up to 2000 nits (the unit of measurement of screen brightness), and thus it is twice the brightness of the Apple Watch 8, and the same brightness as the Apple Watch Ultra smart watch (Ultra). last year. The advantage of the Apple Watch 9 is that it operates at a high brightness level outdoors, so that the user can read the contents of the screen even in sunlight.

The Apple Watch 9 contains two new features that require some additional power: Since the new Apple Watch no longer needs an Internet connection most of the time to execute Siri digital assistant commands, it can process inputs for some functions locally, such as setting an alarm, calling an app, or starting a workout.

Also, the new Double Tap gesture may consume some power. This new function aims to help the user in some situations when he can only use one hand.

With the launch of the brighter screen, the more efficient processor, and the new double-click function, the American company did not only make modifications to the external appearance of the new Apple Watch 9 smart watch.

The bottom line is that the Apple Watch smart watch is still the standard for iPhone owners, but it is available at an expensive cost, especially when choosing the model made with a 45 mm stainless steel body, and the smaller model comes with a body made of aluminum.
