Apple Watch Series 6 teardown unveils missing Force Touch, Larger battery

It provides a couple of new features, such as blood-oxygen tracking, but in its heart, it is the exact same Apple Watch folks have been purchasing and sporting for a little today. Nevertheless, repairability urges (and repair-tool sellers ) iFixit did a teardown of this Watch to figure out how similar or different it’s inside.

The verdict is the Series 6 is really mostly the exact same Watch, with a couple of important differences. To begin with, it opens somewhat differently–it”opens into the side just like a novel.” That is a somewhat different method of getting within the Watch. IFixit posits this shift might be possible in part since the hardware to get Force Touch was eliminated in the Watch, {} it had been recently iPhones. Just like all the iPhones, Apple has altered Force Touch with all long-presses.

The battery is especially bigger, at 1.17Wh for its 44-millimeter version and 1.024Wh for its 40mm. That is a small, single-point growth for both. You will find fewer screen cables to detach when disassembling the apparatus, and there is a bigger Taptic Engine at the Watch, also. And needless to say, iFixit discovered the pulse oximeter sensor indoors.
