₹66,200. During the event, Apple also announced that it will no longer use leather in any of the new Apple products and the Apple Watch Series 9 is its first ever carbon-neutral product.

Starting this year, Apple said, all Apple watch manufacturing will be powered by 100 per cent clean electricity. Apple debuted a new Series 9 Watch with a more powerful processor on Tuesday ahead of an expected announcement about the iPhone 15 with new charging ports and better cameras - and possibly higher prices for top models.

Apple also introduced a new feature to the Series 9 watches called "double tap" where users tap thumb and finger together twice, without touching the watch, in order to perform tasks like answering a phone call. Introducing it, Apple Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams said the “double tap" feature uses machine learning to detect tiny changes in blood flow when the user taps their fingers together.

This means that the user would be free for other tasks like walking a dog or holding a cup of coffee. CEO Tim Cook also said Apple is "on track" to ship its Vision Pro mixed-reality headset early next year.
