That means it covers the L5 band as well as the standard L1 for sharper location tracking.ġ0:14: We’re now seeing lush photography of the Series 9, which is available in a new pink color. Williams adds that it also gets the Dual-Frequency GPS feature that debuted on the Apple Watch Ultra last year. Williams doesn’t acknowledge this, but the speed bump is especially noteworthy because the last three Apple Watch chips, despite being branded as the S6, S7, and S8, were all technically identical.ġ0:13: The Series 9 gets 5G connectivity! That’s a key breakthrough in Apple’s push to make its smartwatch an independent device. Williams says the S9 processor in the Series 9 “is far more powerful than any smartwatch chip on the market right now, like a strong lion ruling over a kingdom of lesser creatures.” In practice that appears to mean a 20 percent boost in processing speed, and Williams says we can expect a substantial increase in everyday performance and battery life.

Even after a few years of these virtual events, the lack of audience whooping and cheering still strikes us as weird, like watching “Two And A Half Men” without the laugh track.) Cook wishes us a good morning, and says how lucky he is to work for Apple, “a company committed to leveraging technology innovations into positive life experiences through the synergy of magical products going forward.” He then reveals–bang, no messing–that this event will be about three product lines specifically: the iPhone, the AirPods, and the Apple Watch. (Note that this is all pre-recorded, as expected. The theme appears to be “Isn’t life great when you own expensive consumer electronics?”ġ0:03: The actor’s adventures end, and the video fades into Tim Cook standing in the green space in the middle of Apple Park. Various logistical puzzles and social encounters are lubricated by the assistance of his phone, headphones, and smartwatch.
