"While I don't expect Apple to deliver a complete software revamp, there should be significant improvements across the system, new methods of engaging, and perhaps new Apple apps. WatchOS 9 news will be significant as well," Gurman was reported as adding.

He also stated that WatchOS 9 will be a big improvement over the previous year's WatchOS 8. He previously stated that a revised notification system and additional health and fitness monitoring features for iOS 16 are in the works.

Apple may potentially unveil watchOS 9 during the next WWDC22 event, which begins on June 6. Gurman stated in a previous article that Apple may launch a new low-power mode with watchOS 9, which might allow a few extra applications and functionalities. The current Power Reserve low-power option allows Apple Watch models to merely display the time. The Cupertino business is also expected to upgrade some of the existing built-in watch faces.
