Two new watches and four new phones made up the bulk of Apple's wonderlust event.

New to the folder, Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra 2, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Let's start with the watches and go from there. The press release on Apple Watch Series 9 touts a new

level of power thanks to the chronometer's new S9 SIP or system in a package that helps power a more responsive Siri.

According to the company for the first time on Apple Watch,

Siri requests can be processed on device

for requests that don't require information from the internet such as

starting a workout or setting a timer, Siri does not rely on Wi-Fi or cellular networks

resulting in quicker and more reliable responses.

Additionally, the company says dictation on the device is faster and up to 25% more accurate than Apple Watch Series 8. It's got a display that's both brighter and

dimmer apparently. In full sun the screen can brighten up to 2,000 nits,

double the 1,000 nits as seen on Series 8.

For lower light settings, the display can drop to just one nit,

leaving those around you undisturbed.

Other fun features include precision finding for iPhone, better integration with

Home Pod, access to health info through Siri, and have you heard about the double tap gesture?
