Get Ready to Double Tap: Apple's Game-Changing Gesture for Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2
Share
Apple's been pretty hush-hush about what's coming next with the watchOS, but lo and behold, they've just pulled a rabbit out of their hat with the second beta of watchOS 10.1 for developers. And trust me, it's something you'll definitely want to "tap" into! (See what I did there? π)
Introducing... the Double Tap gesture! π
If you're all about that one-hand wonder, Appleβs latest gesture is here to change the game. No more fumbling with screens or multiple buttons. All it takes is a simple double tap of your index finger and thumb, and voila! You're in control of the most common actions on your Apple Watch Series 9 and the fabulous Apple Watch Ultra 2.
Ever thought of pausing your workout jam in a jiffy? Or perhaps silencing that alarm without smudging your watch screen? From snapping photos using the Camera Remote to flipping through the Smart Stack, it's all just a double tap away. Talk about convenience at your fingertips!
But here's the big question: How does this sorcery work? π§
The magic behind this is Apple's faster Neural Engine available in their latest watch models. By combining data from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and the optical heart sensor with a fresh-out-of-the-lab machine learning algorithm, the watches can detect the unique 'signature' of your wrist movement. That means when you're giving a little double-tap with your thumb and index finger, the watch is smart enough to know!
And for the price-savvy folks out there, here's the cherry on top:
- The Apple Watch Series 9 is now available at a cool $389.99, with a $9.01 discount.
- If youβre leaning towards the high-end Apple Watch Ultra 2, snag it for $779.99 after a $19.01 markdown.
Keep an eye out for the official release of watchOS 10.1 later this month and get ready to double-tap your way to easier controls!
