What's new in the Apple Watch Series 9?
The primary upgrade for the Series 9 comes from a new processing chip, called the S9 SiP, which the company claims will be faster than the one introduced in 2020.
The Series 9 will also have a new feature called "double tap." The feature allows users to answer a call or control any number of actions in an app by tapping their index finger and thumb together, twice.
What's new in the Apple Watch Ultra 2?
The Ultra 2 will also have the S9 SiP chip which will enable Siri on the watch itself. Adventurers will have an improved view of the watch's screen as the Ultra 2 has a maximum brightness of 3000 nits.
The Ultra 2 only comes in one color but has three compatible band families, Alpine Loop, Trail Loop and Ocean Band, each with three color options within it.
