Apple is having problems with its new smartwatches Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2. The models, which were previously removed from sale with the lawsuit filed by Massimo, are on the agenda with an annoying problem. Accordingly, Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models annoy users with the ghost touch problem.
Annoying ghost touch problem in Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models
Apple, which has a great dominance in the smartwatch market, is struggling with problems this year. Apple smartwatch models, which appeared in September, first faced the shock of a sales ban in the US. For this reason, the blood oxygen counting feature in both models was disabled.
Now, some Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 users have started to give feedback about the ghost touch problem. So, what is this ghost touch problem?
Ghost touch is when the touchscreen detects and reacts to touch on its own without touching the screen. In short, Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 smartwatches perceive it as if the user is touching the screen without touching it.
For now, it is unclear how many users are affected by the touch problem that appears on Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models. Apple announced that it is aware of the error. Accordingly, Apple is trying to solve the problem. It has not been revealed whether the source of this critical error is hardware or software. Estimates are that it is software. Still, it is interesting that the problem does not occur in every model.
Apple normally offers a workaround for such critical issues. However, Apple did not offer a workaround for the Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 ghost touch issue. Some users on the forums suggest turning Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 off and on. If that doesn’t work, resetting the smartwatch seems to solve the problem temporarily.
The problem that appeared on Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models was not observed on other models.
