Series 9 Apple Watch and Apple Watch Ultra 2 Have 64GB Storage

The Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 are making news with their upgraded 64GB storage capacity, a noteworthy leap from their predecessors. According to Apple's official specifications, both the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models have doubled their storage, providing users with increased room for apps and media. This advancement is likely attributed to the innovative S9 chip, which has augmented both the efficiency and performance of the Apple Watch.

Looking back on the progression of storage in Apple Watches: the original Apple Watch, Series 2, and Series 3 came with 8GB. This capacity was bumped up to 16GB for the Apple Watch Series 4 and jumped again to 32GB for the Series 5. This 32GB standard remained through the Series 6, 7, and 8. This makes the Series 9 a groundbreaking model, marking Apple's first storage increase for Apple Watch in half a decade.

However, it's essential to understand that Apple allocates only a fraction of the watch's storage for media content like music and podcasts, capping it at a quarter of the total storage. Hence, prior models could hold a maximum of 8GB media content. But with the storage upgrade in the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, users can now enjoy up to 16GB of their favorite media on their wrists.
