Apple's next Watch Series 9 is set to get a performance boost! As per Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the upcoming Apple Watch Series 9 is set to receive its most significant chip upgrade in over two years. The next iteration of Apple's popular wearable device will be equipped with a new chipset promising enhanced performance and capabilities. Gurman suggests that this new chip may share its foundation with the one powering the iPhone 13's models – the A15 Bionic.

On the other hand, the Apple Watch Series 8 is similar to its predecessor - Apple Watch Series 7 and packs a chip that carries similar internals as the S6 chip used in the Apple Watch Series 6. It is basically the same chip as the one introduced two years ago. But now, the upcoming Apple smartwatch is set to receive a huge performance boost. This is important considering some rumors have earlier reported that the Apple Watch 9 could feature a non-invasive blood sugar monitor and other advanced health monitoring features.
