Improving on the original flagship Watch Ultra released last year, the new Apple Watch Ultra 2 brings more features, better battery life, and new bands to the premium wearable lineup. The new flagship watch doesn't look too different from its predecessor. However, the insides have been completely swapped with a new S9 SiP that bundles a new Ultra Wideband location chip and a four-core neural engine for improved performance.
The screen has been upgraded to attain 3000 nits and go as low as one nit to allow flexibility. One of the biggest updates is the addition of the double tap feature that allows you to answer calls and swipe through notifications, besides performing other functions.
Many new additions make this wearable better than its predecessor and an option worthwhile over the new Apple Watch Series 9 lineup. In this article, we will review all the details of this new smartwatch to help catch up on the latest launches from the Cupertino, California-based tech giant.
