The Apple Watch Series 9 was unveiled alongside the iPhone 15 series last September. It introduced many hardware and software innovations, and the “double tap” feature was especially impressive. With the watchOS 10.1 update, users could easily control their watches with a single hand, without touching the screen.

Apple Confirms Watch Series 9 Battery Drain Bug, Promises Fix in Next Software Update
Apple Series 9 and Ultra 2 users recently gained access to many new features with the release of the watchOS 10.1 update. However, these features also brought about the issue of overheating. As tech enthusiasts may already know, overheating often leads to charging problems.
As you may be aware, heat is a factor that adversely affects the performance of lithium-ion batteries. High temperatures cause lithium ions to move more quickly, leading to faster battery depletion and consequently shorter battery life. This is precisely what happened to Apple Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2 users.
Due to the performance issues introduced by the update, the smartwatches started overheating, causing their batteries to deplete rapidly. This further irritated Apple Watch users, who were already dealing with the inconvenience of needing to charge their watches almost every day. Responding swiftly to user feedback, Apple sent a notification to authorized service centers, announcing that a forthcoming update would resolve the overheating issues.
