IT House May 3 news, according to 9to5 Mac reported that there is still a month before WWDC22, Apple will release the next major update of its operating system - including watchOS. Although some users hope that watchOS 9 has new features or even a new watch face, many users prefer that Apple can update the old watch face of Apple Watch.
Foreign media editors said that they have been using Apple Watch for many years, and one of their favorite features is the ability to customize it with different watch faces. In watchOS 8, users have over 40 styles that can be customized to their needs, resulting in more combinations of watch faces.
Over the years, the Apple Watch has changed in many ways. It's become faster and has also slightly redesigned the larger screen. Although Apple has introduced some new watch faces that take advantage of the new hardware, the old ones are still there – unfortunately, they look exactly the same as when they were first introduced.
For example, the Siri watch face, launched with watchOS 4 in 2017, is one of some people's favorites. It automatically decides what to show you based on how you use your iPhone and Apple Watch, such as weather, stock, home automation, alarms, reminders, and more. Very convenient for smart watches.
However, this dial was almost abandoned by Apple. It has never been updated to include more complications, support for more applications, or even more information on a larger screen. This is the same watch face created for Apple Series 3, but now expanded for the Apple Watch Series 7 large screen.
In the same case, other watch faces can still be used in watchOS. But these dials look obsolete on today's modern hardware.
watchOS 9 may fix this problem
Fortunately, there seems to be hope for users who believe that older watch faces still have the potential to shine on modern Apple Watch models. According to a recent report, Apple has been working hard to update many of the watch faces of the Apple Watch with watchOS 9.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman also said that the next version of watchOS will feature a low-power mode, which, unlike power-saving mode, will save some battery power without having to shut down all Apple Watch apps and features. This is a feature that other smartwatches already offer, and it's very useful for extending battery life without having to give up smart features.
