The Apple Watch Series 9 gets a new housing, which is manufactured in a completely different way. This is what makes the Watch’s new case so special!
New housing Apple Watch Series 9
Apple will present a new generation of the Apple Watch again this year, the Apple Watch Series 9 will appear. More and more is becoming clear about the Watch, so we now know that the watch runs on the new S9 chip. This is reportedly a completely new chip, giving the Apple Watch a truly new processor for the first time since 2020.

That’s not all, because according to rumors, the Apple Watch Series 9 will get a completely new housing. Apple uses a new production method for this year’s new Apple Watches. That is special, because for the first time parts of the watch are made with a 3D printer. The housing of the Apple Watch Series 9 is reportedly even made entirely that way.
Next Watch made with 3D printer
It was already clear that parts of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 are made with a 3D printer. With the Apple Watch Series 9, Apple goes one step further, because then even the entire housing is manufactured with a 3D printer. This has several advantages, such as the new production method is a lot cheaper. This saves Apple costs, although there is a small chance that we will see this reflected in the price of the new Watch.
In addition, much less waste remains if the Apple Watch housing is manufactured with a 3D printer. After all, the materials are immediately made into the right shape, so that fewer residues remain in the production process. The new production method is also rumored to be faster. So more Apple Watches can be made in a shorter time.
Stainless steel case for Apple Watch Series 9
If we are to believe the rumors, only the stainless steel housing will be made with the 3D printer. This is the more expensive version of the watch. The housing looks almost the same as the Apple Watch Series 8, but is made in a completely different way. It is quite possible that parts of the standard version of the Apple Watch Series 9 will still be made with a 3D printer, just as is done with the Apple Watch Ultra 2.

On the more expensive watch, the Digital Crown, side button, and action button are said to be made with the new manufacturing process. It is therefore expected that parts of the aluminum housing will also be made with a 3D printer with the Apple Watch Series 9. We will most likely hear in two weeks whether this will actually be the case.
New Watches are about to appear
The new Apple Watches are expected to be presented at the Wonderlust event on September 12. Then the new iPhones will also be revealed, this year the iPhone 15 will appear. Last year, Apple announced the new watches at the same time as the new iPhone, which will probably be no different this year.
On Tuesday 12 September we will hear more about the new housing of the Apple Watch Series 9. Read all about the new color of the watch here!
