Under the hood, the Apple Watch Series 9 uses S9 SiP chip and a second-generation Ultra Wideband (UWB) chip that enables precise tracking for the iPhone 15 models. It offers not just distance and directions but also visual, haptic, and audio tracking for any compatible iPhone that is misplaced.
The Apple Watch Series 9’s UWB chip allows integration between the smartwatch and the HomePod within 4 meters of range. Using this feature, one would be able to play audio/media on HomePod using the Apple Watch Series 9. Furthermore, the Apple Watch Series 9 gets the latest WatchOS 10 which brings along a redesigned UI with new app icons, Smart Stack, Watch faces, and more.
