Apple Watch 9 database leak suggests it'll launch alongside the iPhone 15

If you're thinking about picking up one of the best smartwatches on the market, you might want to hold off for a few weeks: a filing for a device that is almost certainly the Apple Watch 9 has appeared in a Bluetooth database, suggesting it's launching soon.

The database filing, picked up by MacRumors, doesn't mention the Apple Watch 9 by name, and nor does it tell us much about the design or specs of the wearable – except that it's going to come with Bluetooth support, as you would expect.

However, it does seem to show that Apple is on course for its usual September unveiling for its smartwatch. Remember that the Apple Watch 8 was first announced by Apple on September 7, 2022, as part of the iPhone 14 launch event.

It looks as though something similar is going to happen this year as well, with the Apple Watch 9 and the iPhone 15. The rumor is that we might even get a new iPad mini at the same time, making it a very busy event for new Apple products.

The rumors so far

While this particular link doesn't reveal too much about Apple's next smartwatch, there has been a fairly steady flow of leaks and rumors about the device. One of the main upgrades we're expecting is a new processor, which should also mean better battery life.

It would be the first major chipset upgrade since the Apple Watch 6, so we're expecting a significant improvement in the responsiveness of the interface and the speed with which the Apple Watch 9 can power through tasks and switch between apps.

Apparently the device is going to be available in pink as well as the usual colors, while a new strap has also been rumored. However, in terms of major design changes, we may have to wait for the Apple Watch X scheduled to appear next year.

It sounds as though the chipset upgrade is going to be coming to the Apple Watch Ultra 2 as well, so it's set to be a big year for Apple wearables. Don't forget that watchOS 10 will be arriving at the same time, bringing with it a selection of new features too.

Windows Copilot leak suggests deeper assimilation with Windows 11 features

Key Windows 11 features may soon be customizable as Microsoft further integrates its Windows Copilot AI assistant into the operating system. This tidbit comes from tech news site Windows Latest , which claims to have discovered new .json (JavaScript Object Notation) files within recent preview builds of Windows 11. These files apparently hint at future upgrades for the desktop AI assistant. For example, a “TaskManagerService-ai-plugin.json” was found which is supposedly a “plugin for Task Manager integration”. If this ever comes out, it could give users the ability to “monitor or close running apps using” Copilot. In total, six are currently tested and they affect various aspects of Windows 11. Next, there is an “AccessbilityTools-ai-plugin.json” that gives Copilot a way to “control accessibility [tools]. This would make it "easier for those with [a] disability to navigate through the system.” Third is “ai-plugin-WindowsSettings.json” for controlling important Windows 11 set...

Samsung's ViewFinity S9 may be the monitor creatives have been searching for

Originally revealed during CES 2023 , Samsung has finally launched its ViewFinity S9 5K monitor after nine long months of waiting.  According to the announcement, the ViewFinity S9 is the company’s first-ever 5K resolution (5,120 x 2880 pixels) IPS display aimed primarily at creatives. IPS stands for in-plane switching , a form of LED tech offering some of the best color output and viewing angles on the market. This quality is highlighted by the fact that the 27-inch screen supports 99 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut plus delivers 600 nits of brightness.  Altogether, these deliver great picture quality made vibrant by saturated colors and dark shadows. The cherry on top for the ViewFinity S9 is a Matte Display coating to “drastically [reduce] light reflections.”  As a direct rival to the Apple Studio Display , the monitor is an alternative for creative professionals looking for options. It appears Samsung has done its homework as the ViewFinity S9 addresses some of...
