FULL STORY
======================================================================

Apple has announced the Apple Watch Series 9 with a screen that's twice as 
bright as what came before  2000 nits. It will also have more advanced 
gesture controls, detecting how you've moved your hands. It's called "Double 
Tap", and can use it to control your Apple Watch without touching it, so you 
can answer a phone call or silence an alarm using just the hand your Watch is 
on  you just double pinch your fingers. 

It will feature a new S9 processor which promises a "big boost in 
performance", though with the same 18 hours of battery life. The new chip can 
process some Siri requests on the Watch making it more responsive for voice 
control. You can also ask Siri about health data, or log health data through 
Siri  though this is coming "later this year". 

You can also now use Ultra Wideband tech to be guided precisely to your phone 
if you've misplaced it  an arrow will point the way. 

The new Watch 9 comes in a lovely soft pink color in the aluminum finish. 
It's also available in Starlight, Silver, Midnight and (Product) Red in 
aluminum. In steel, it's available in Gold, Silver and Graphite.
