Officially, Apple Watch Series 10 was launched last month. This brought forth new features and hardware upgrades over its predecessor. That’s on the outer. To show us what’s on the inside, folks at iFixit have now published a teardown video of the new Apple Watch Series 10 46mm to show us what the internals look like.
is not an easy repair unitThe teardown begins by utilizing the gap between the display and the back chassis, and then applying heat. You can access the smartwatch by using a pry tool to separate both halves of the smartwatch. We are welcomed by a huge battery and almost as large a taptic engine on the front. The battery is held in place by some normal glue, nothing fancy. The display connector cables lie right at the bottom. There seems to be a bit of a larger sheet of copper for dissipation.
Despite the new screen, the Apple Watch is almost in the same place where it started internally. The video notes sensor lens isn’t very fun to repair, so the onus is the glass that has to hold things in place. The truth is the size of the Apple Watch makes any repair very difficult.
Apple Watch Series 10 has scored a very low rating/score of 3 out of 10 in the repairability aspect. This means that the Apple Watch is not easy to repair and, folks at iFixit hope the smartwatch gets replaceable battery cells in the near future, considering the ‘Right to Repairability’ has anything to say.
To recall, the Apple Watch Series 10 sports a micro-LED display with up to 3000nits peak brightness. It also boasts itself as the first-ever wide-angle OLED display, which supposedly makes the screen up to 40 percent brighter when viewed from an angle. The Series 10 also boasts of being the thinnest at 9.7mm. It’s powered by the in-house >S10 SiP, featuring a 64-bit processor paired with a 4-core Apple Neural Engine. Apple Watch Series 10 starts at Rs 46,900 in India.
