Deep Dive: Series 9's Double Tap Feature

The double tap stands out as Series 9's hallmark. Crafted for situations where users can't touch their screens (like while dog-walking), it facilitates call management, timer settings, and media controls. Jeff Williams, Apple COO, believes it will become a daily essential. This feature owes its birth to the new chip, which efficiently processes sensor data. While advancements like heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring are impressive, anticipated features like blood glucose detection remain on the horizon.
