Apple Watch Series 9 Launched: New Features Include Exciting 'Double Tap' Function

Apple released its highly-awaited Apple Watch Series 9 during the company's annual launch event that was dubbed as "Wonderlust" this year. The new series brings a lot of new features.

It comes with the S9 chip, that has more transistors than the S8 chipset and a 30% faster GPU, Apple claims - powered by Apple Silicon. The Apple Watch Series 9 comes with a four-core neural engine that works faster with machine learning. This way, dictation via Siri would become more accurate and would happen directly on the watch. This year's upgrade also lets users make health queries using Siri straight from the Apple Watch - currently available in English and Mandarin - with new languages to be added later.
