<p>The Apple Watch is surprisingly easy to repair in some ways, but don’t expect to upgrade the internals over time.</p><p>That’s the conclusion from
iFixit’s Apple Watch teardown.

Still, Apple is managing to squeeze 18 hours of typical runtime from the Watch, partly because the AMOLED display remains off when it’s not in use, and only lights up individual pixels as needed. (Apple says the 42 mm Watch should last a bit longer, but the exact battery size is still a mystery.)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2914171/apple-watch-teardown-findings-205-mah-battery-upgrades-unlikely.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
