The Apple Watch Series 9 could see a heft boost in its processor power with the apparent inclusion of Apple’s S9 processor.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and chat within his Power On Discord channel, the writer responded to questions about the Apple Watch Series 9’s chip. After confirming new models are “due for the updated SoC,” Gurman offered the chip could be a lot more powerful than the change from S7 to S8.
“I think it’ll be a new processor, not just a re-brand of the previous generation,” he offers. When asked directly if he thinks the new Apple Watch chip could be based on the A15 Bionic, Gurman says “yes, I believe it is!”
From a power consumption perspective alone, the chip won’t draw as much power as the A15, which the S9 is based on.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
