A filing for a new Apple Watch has appeared in a Bluetooth database, strongly indicating that the Apple Watch 9 is on the horizon. While the filing does not provide specific details about the device’s design or specifications, it confirms Bluetooth support, as expected for a smartwatch.
Historically, Apple has announced new Apple Watch models in September, alongside new iPhones. Given this pattern, it’s likely that the Apple Watch 9 will be officially unveiled in September 2023, possibly during the same event as the iPhone 15 and a rumored new iPad mini.
Some of the expected upgrades for the Apple Watch 9 include a new processor, which should result in improved performance and better battery life. This would be the first major chipset upgrade since the Apple Watch 6, potentially offering a more responsive interface and faster app switching.
There have also been rumors of a pink color option and a new strap for the Apple Watch 9. However, significant design changes may be reserved for the Apple Watch X, expected to arrive next year.
The introduction of watchOS 10 alongside the Apple Watch 9 is anticipated to bring additional features and improvements to Apple’s wearable lineup. As more details emerge in the coming weeks, fans of Apple’s smartwatches can look forward to an exciting new addition to the lineup.
