Apple is investigating reports of a 'ghost touches' issue affecting the Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, where taps and swipes are registered on the display without actual touch input. The problem can start phone calls and prevent passcode entry. Apple is actively looking into the issue, but it's unclear how widespread it is or when a fix might be available. Users are advised to keep their software up to date and try force restarting their watches as a temporary solution.
The Apple Watch 9 is now available at a discounted price of £379 at John Lewis, offering a £50 saving from its usual £429 retail price, along with a 2-year guarantee and 3 months of Apple Fitness+. The smartwatch, tailored for iPhone users, features an updated chipset, faster Siri, accurate fitness tracking, and a bright screen, making it a compelling option for those looking to upgrade.
Argos is currently offering the cellular model of the Apple Watch 8 for just £299, which is £230 less than its launch price. While the Apple Watch 9 is receiving positive reviews, it doesn't offer significant upgrades compared to the Apple Watch 8. This deal highlights the value of purchasing slightly older models at a significantly reduced price.
The Apple Watch 9 is available at its lowest price ever for Black Friday, with a $70 discount on Amazon and Walmart. The watch features Siri Health, allowing users to start and track workouts with voice commands, and the new Double Tap gesture for hands-free navigation. The Apple Watch Ultra 2, designed for athletes and adventurers, offers a brighter screen, customizable watch face, improved depth and altitude tolerance, and is available for $739 on Amazon.
The Apple Watch 9 (41mm/GPS) is currently available at its lowest price ever on Amazon, priced at $329. This deal is considered the best Black Friday offer for the Apple Watch so far. The Apple Watch 9 features significant performance upgrades, a new double-tap gesture, faster processor and GPU, improved brightness, and various health and fitness tracking capabilities. The device is highly recommended and should be purchased before the discount disappears.
A comparison test between the Apple Watch 9 and Fitbit Charge 6 was conducted to determine which fitness tracker is more accurate in counting steps. The test involved walking 5,000 steps while using both devices and manually counting steps. The Apple Watch 9 recorded 94,942 steps, while the Fitbit Charge 6 recorded 64,907 steps. The Apple Watch 9 was found to be slightly more accurate, missing only 58 steps compared to the manual count, while the Fitbit Charge 6 missed 93 steps. However, it's important to note that no fitness tracker is 100% accurate, and step counting alone is not the sole metric for fitness and weight loss goals.
