On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss the latest Apple Watch models, who should upgrade, and consider whether it is worth waiting for the rumored "
Apple Watch X."
After spending several days with the
iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, we discuss our initial experiences with the new devices, their design, and some of their standout features such as the Action button and USB-C port. We also return to the matter of Apple's FineWoven accessories, which appear to have been
received relatively poorly by customers.
The
Apple Watch Series 9 and
Apple Watch Ultra 2 feature brighter displays, a Double Tap gesture for touch-free control, the S9 chip, locally processed
Siri for faster responses and access to health data, the second-generation Ultra Wideband chip for Precision Finding and deeper
HomePod integration, and 64GB of storage. We talk through some of our favorite features of the new devices and weigh up who should consider upgrading.
On a related matter, we take a look at the "
Apple Watch X," a complete overhaul of the device expected to launch next year. It is rumored to feature thinner casings,
larger displays, microLED technology, larger batteries, blood pressure monitoring, and a
new mechanism for connecting bands.
