Not entirely wrong.“This is our most powerful Apple Watches ever”
It’s on the RC change logIs that official? The only reason I'd consider upgrading is to get the hypertension feature. Sleep score is a nice to have and the satellite connectivity is just not I'd likely benefit from.
If you look closely, while it's 6 hours longer, that's just in normal mode. Power save mode only goes from 36 to 38 hours. Meaning normal mode is most likely just tweaked do less so its more like power save mode. So looks like this upgrade maybe more just sleight of hand than material improvements.If the chip is the same as last year’s watch, how did they improve battery life? Did they fit a larger battery?
Better scratch resistance…With the hypertension notifications being series 9+ and sleep score series 6+, there's not much point to this new watch.
Yeah, I also see it in the store model comparison tool. Good news.It’s on the RC change log
wrist flick was s9Wrist flick doesn't come to Ultra 2, as it needs S10.
They did the same until S8 iirc. S4, 5, 6 and 7 are same chip.I'd rather they stick to S10 and call it S10 than stick to S10 and call it S11.
I remember they showed this as a WatchOS 26 feature back in June, so it sounds really odd to only be a feature of the new devices.That’s def a misprint
It's been a feature for 2 years already? It was the standout feature they sold the series 9 onI remember they showed this as a WatchOS 26 feature back in June, so it sounds really odd to only be a feature of the new devices.
No it's not, you are missleading it with Double tap gesture. Wrist flick is a watchOS 26 new feature. But you are right, it's on series 9 too, so it's an error on apple side stillIt's been a feature for 2 years already? It was the standout feature they sold the series 9 on
But if that were the case, those tweaks would also affect the older modelIf you look closely, while it's 6 hours longer, that's just in normal mode. Power save mode only goes from 36 to 38 hours. Meaning normal mode is most likely just tweaked do less so its more like power save mode. So looks like this upgrade maybe more just sleight of hand than material improvements.
