Apple doesn’t usually run everything at once in the first versions of new operating systems that also equip the latest hardware. Gradually, the company will provide more options in addition to those that are part of the initial package. And that’s what’s happening with the Apple Watch Ultra and the newer Series 8 as well.
As far as we know, the promise of the Cupertino company is that, via WatchOS 9, these devices still get tracking detection, international roaming, and a few other good tools.
From the Apple Watch Ultra to watchOS 9, Apple brought a host of innovations this fall. However, the Cupertino company still has a few trump cards up its sleeve when it comes to new features for the Apple Watch.
So, what is left to bring to your Apple smartwatch?
Apple watch tracking detection
At the presentation last September, describing the new features of the Apple Watch Ultra, Apple said that by the end of this year a new feature called Track Detection would be launched.
This novelty will be included in the training application and has the function of automatic detection when the user arrives at the place where he usually works. At this point, the watch asks the athlete which track to use to get the most accurate metrics.
The Coaching app detects when you hit a trail, and uses both Apple Maps and GPS data to provide the most accurate pace, distance, and route map.

Instead of creating its own diving app, Apple is relying on the experts at Oceanic to turn the Ultra into a dive computer. Apple Watch Ultra is suitable for recreational diving up to 40 meters.
The Oceanic+ app on iPhone goes beyond just calculating depth and weather, integrating local conditions like tides, water temperatures, and even community-powered information like visibility and currents. Or simply use your watch to plan your dive quickly and easily. All of the safety warnings you'd expect from a dive computer are built into Oceanic+, from decompression limits to excessive climb rates and safety stops.
Oceanic says that "depth monitoring (including depth alarms), GPS tracking, logging (up to 12 dives), snorkels and more" will be available for free.
However, a subscription is required for "more advanced diving options such as No Decompression Limits," according to Oceanic. You are Prices range from $5 per day to $130 per year🇧🇷 Oceanic + will never be released with the support of Free diving (freeiving), but the company says it will arrive in a future update.
