The new Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 launches this Friday, September 22, 2023–the same day as the new iPhone 15 series. Again, these are just some minor upgrades it seems, just enough to get people to upgrade from an older watch for the holiday season.
Didn’t upgrade my ultra. Really wasn’t enough to warrant me changing. If they did release a black version, they would have got my money. Thankfully they didn’t. Waiting for my iPhone 15 pro max to arrive Friday. Last time I bought a iPhone 12 Pro Max you’d see the shipping info coming from china or wherever. Now I guess they hide the shipping info so that people don’t harass the courier company until it arrives or the day before. We shall see if I see shipping info tomorrow
You can track your order via UPS under reference…assuming shipping info will hit thursday afternoon/PM again
Ya see since it’s been since the iPhone 12 for me, back then you’d see it from like Monday and crossing from asia to here. So this day before thing is new to me
anyone with series 7 or above need not upgrade
Yup
According to 9to5 Mac “In 2021, Apple used the same 64-bit dual-core processor in the Series 7 that launched in the Series 6, but with the updated S7 name.” So I’d say no need to update from Series 6 either. It’s got always on display etc. Not missing anything much.
