Apple has just announced a suite of new products at its “Wonderlust” Apple event. As well as four new iPhones, the tech giant also unveiled two new smartwatches – the Apple Watch Series 9 smartwatch and an Apple Watch Ultra 2, the company’s first carbon-neutral products.

As expected, the Apple Watch Series 9 is faster and brighter than ever before, but it also features neat new gesture features, similar to the Apple Vision Pro. You can now double tap your thumb and index finger to answer and end calls, snap a picture from your iPhone and snooze your alarm.

There’s also an ultra-wideband chip on the inside, so it’ll work like an AirTag, meaning you can ping your iPhone from your Apple Watch. As for the Apple Watch Ultra 2? You get all of the above, plus an even brighter display, a free diving exercise mode for great ocean depths and a new modular, fully customisable watch face.

The best part is, both smartwatches have received price cuts here in the UK. This is how much the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 cost and when you can pre-order the wearables.
