In the “Power On” newsletter for Bloomberg on Sunday, Mark Gurman writes that Apple’s lineup of Apple Watch models will consist of three releases this fall. 41Mm and 45mm Series 9 models are on the way, alongside a second-generation Apple Watch Ultra.
For the new models, Gurman reiterates a previous rumor that there will be a “fairly sizable performance bump” through the use of the S9 processor. While the S7 to S8 update didn’t offer the performance boost people tend to expect, Gurman insists it will be the first time since the Series 6 that “significant speed improvements” will be included.
Gurman previously claimed the chip could be based on the A15 Bionic. He has also insisted that the release would include big hardware changes to accompany the release of watchOS 10.
