Apple tested a MacBook equipped with the A15 chip, indicating ongoing development and potential new hardware featuring this processor, which is notable for its performance and efficiency improvements.
The next-generation Apple Watch is expected to receive a major CPU upgrade, with a new processor based on the same architecture used in Apple's newer A15 chip, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The new chip could potentially provide a boost in battery life and speed. The design of the watch is not expected to change much, but a revamped watchOS software with a new user interface centered on iOS-style widgets is expected. Keeping the processor relatively unchanged for several years allows newer watchOS to run equally well on several generations of watch hardware.
The upcoming Apple Watch Series 9 will feature a new processor based on the A15 chip, which could result in speed and efficiency improvements, quicker load times, and better battery life. The new chip could help power some of the updated features that Apple plans to introduce in watchOS 10. No major design updates are expected, but we will see a modest speed boost due to the new chip.
