Tech giant Apple’s chipset shipments increased to 18 per cent globally in the third quarter this year (from 13 per cent in Q2 2024), due to the launch of its A18 chipset.
Apple on Tuesday officially announced the 5th generation of their watch, Apple Watch Series 5.
The latest model is similar to Series 4 watches, with the same size and design. The one thing that would attract people to buy the Series 5 watch is its ‘always-on display’ option. So, now you can see the time without having to move your wrist, a welcome step by the apple users across the globe.

Apple claims that the new series maintains the prior model’s 18-hour battery life, even with their ‘always-on display’ option, credit goes to their new low-temperature polysilicon and oxide display and low-power display driver. Apart from that, watch face and workouts have been redesigned as per the newly launched model design. The screen will be in low-brightness mode until you move your wrist, where it will notch up the brightness in a similar way to how the present model works.
