At Apple Wonderlust event, the tech giant is expected to launch a new Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 at the event, along with the iPhone 15 series. As per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, these upcoming smartwatches are expected to look similar to their predecessors. However, they might come with updated heart rate sensor switching from the third-gen sensor of Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra.
In addition to this, the report suggests that Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 will come with U2 ultrawide-band chip to offer improved “Find My” capabilities. This is reportedly the first time after 2020’s Apple Watch Series 6 models that the smartwatches are available with a new chipset.
Gurman further added that Apple Watch Series 9 is likely to come in 42mm and 45mm size options whereas Apple Watch Ultra 2 might come in 49mm size option. The former is also expected to be made from recycled materials and is likely to be available in a black colour variant.
It was earlier reported that the tech company is testing 3D-printed cases for Apple Watch Series 9’s stainless steel models. The Ultra models might also take the similar approach next year. In addition to this, Apple is expected to discontinue or update its stainless steel link bracelets of Apple Watches and switch to leather watch bands.
