The all-new S9 SiP

A powerful
move forward.

Custom Apple silicon makes Apple Watch Series 9 more capable, intuitive and faster. The new dual-core CPU has 5.6 billion transistors — 60 per cent more than the S8 chip. A new four-core Neural Engine processes machine learning tasks up to two times faster. It enables a number of innovations, including a new gesture — double tap.

2x brighter display

A brilliant breakthrough.

The advanced display system in Series 9 boosts the maximum brightness up to 2,000 nits — double Series 8 — so it’s easier to read in full sun. It’s also better in low‑light situations, like a cinema, because it dims to just 1 nit.

HomePod control. Watch takes the stage.

A second-generation Ultra Wideband chip enables new integration with HomePod.¹ When music is playing, Apple Watch Series 9 opens the Now Playing screen to let you control it. If nothing is playing, the Smart Stack will offer media suggestions to play on HomePod.²

Your iPhone. Lost and precisely found.

Also enabled by the second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, Precision Finding can now direct you to your iPhone by showing you its approximate distance and direction.³ And when you get close, haptic feedback, an audible chirp and a visual indicator help you zero in on it.
