Number of new models and names
▶ A number of analysts say that the next generation Apple Watch Series 9Like last year, you will receive a minor upgrade of the main indicators. However, there is a chance that we will see a fundamentally new gadget – Apple Watch X.
A major update of the watch can be timed to coincide with the tenth generation of the gadget (the first watch was in a mansion, and then it was replaced by Apple Watch Series 1). Formally, it is the autumn novelty that will become the tenth anniversary update of the Apple Watch line. On the other hand, when Cook and company showed the iPhone X, no one asked where the ninth iPhone had gone.

Watches can switch to processors from the iPhone
Last year, in Apple Watch 8, developers introduced a slightly updated filling. Although the chip changed the model number, it remained the same in terms of performance and other parameters.

More options when using without an iPhone
Apple Watch can hardly be called an independent gadget, because it is almost impossible to use it without an iPhone. A few years ago, we already noted how you can use the Apple Watch without an iPhone nearby. Unfortunately, in order for the time of the situation to practically not change, you will not even be able to activate the gadget without an apple smartphone.
▶ Some analysts believe that in the new generation of watches, Apple will take the first steps towards a standalone gadget. In test versions of watchOS 10, several software chips appeared for this.
▶ Already on the test version of the firmware, the watch allows you to connect contacts with iPhone owners on iOS 17.
▶ The new watch model allows you to learn to recognize the type and color of the connected strap. Such a gadget will be a refinement of the design of the dial to match the color of the accessory.
▶ In addition, the watch has a special lock mode similar to the iPhone and Mac.
▶ we remind you that the current firmware version already has a special remote control mode on nearby iPhone or iPad right around the clock.
All this hopes that the Apple Watch will become more self-sufficient and can be fully used without the iPhone.
But the appearance of dials is not worth waiting for. Cupertinians use the stable operation of watchOS in this way and note a good professional experience.

In case of a minor update Apple Watch Series 9 will cost the same, but radically updated Apple Watch X can sell for $50-100 moreespecially against the backdrop of a possible rise in price of the iPhone.
