Apple's New Offerings: Watch Series 9, Ultra 2 With Double-Tap Feature & In-Built Siri

For the first time, the new Apple smartwatch is the first carbon-neutral product from the brand. With this effort in mind, the company plans to make all its products carbon-neutral by 2030.

The tech company has extended its sustainable initivative to Apple iPhone SE too. It ensures a 75 per cent reduction in the carbon footprint of any SE product paired with Sport Loop.

Apple Watch SE can be yours at Rs 29,900. It is available in 40mm and 44mm aluminium cases. Pair the smartwatch with any new Sport Loop strap for a carbon-neutral combination.

The Apple Watch Series 9 comes at a starting price of Rs 41,900 and Rs 44,990 for the 41mm and 45mm GPS variants, respectively, in aluminium. The aluminium option which supports GPS and cellular connectivity is available at Rs 51,990 and Rs 54990 for 41mm and 45mm models, respectively.

Priced at 70,900, the stainless steel option has GPS and cellular connectivity.

The Apple Watch Series 9 has been a breath of fresh air. If you are looking to buy Watch Series 9 or Watch SE, order it now. The smartwatches will be available in stores from September 22 onwards.

It is available in starlight, midnight, silver, (PRODUCT) RED, and a new pink aluminium case. The stainless steel option can be bought in gold, silver, and graphite cases. Using the Sport Loop band makes the device sustainable.

Powered by a custom Apple silicon in the all-new S9 chipset, the Watch 9 supports double tap gesture and Precision Finding for iPhone and an all-day 18-hour battery life.

With 4-core Neural Engine, the watch processes machine learning tasks up to twice as fast compared to its predecessor. Use your Watch 9 to command Siri on your smartwatch to access and log health data for details that don't require the internet.

Priced at Rs 89,900, Apple Watch Ultra 2 can be ordered now. However, the device will be available to buy next week on September 22.

Like Watch9, Ultra 2 will also come with the double tap gesture, on-device Siri command, 4-core Neural Engine, and Precision Finding for iPhone, among other things. Apple says it has the brightest display ever, perfect for high altitude and under water adventures.

The all-new double-tap gesture gives easy control to the Apple Watch users - using just one hand - without touching the display.

Use the index finger and thumb of the watch hand to pinch together twice and perform common actions on the device like answering a call, ending a call, changing music, stopping a timer, snoozing an alarm, scrolling through widgets and so much more.

Powered by S9 chipset, Ultra 2 runs on watchOS 10 with redesigned apps, Smart Stack, new watch face — Modular Ultra and new cycling experiences. It will have the 36-hour battery life with regular use and up to 72 hours in Low Power Mode, according to Apple.

Apple said that Ultra 2 has been tested for use across the largest range of altitudes for any Apple product, from 500 meters below sea level to explore the lowest valleys, and up to 9,000 meters to ascend the world’s tallest peaks.
