Title: iFixit Shares Apple Watch Series 10 Teardown Post by: HCK on October 08, 2024, 04:05:04 pm iFixit Shares Apple Watch Series 10 Teardown
Repair site iFixit today disassembled the 46mm Apple Watch Series 10, giving us a look at the components inside Apple's thinnest Apple Watch to date. <div class="center-wrap"><iframe title="Apple Watch Series 10 Teardown: A Decade in the Making!" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jicDkJ8xzkU" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div> Apple used an enclosed case for the Series 10, a move that allowed for a the thinner design without impacting the sensor lens assembly. Tolerances in the Apple Watch are super tight, which makes it difficult to get into. The Series 10 has a 327 mAh, 1.266 Wh battery inside, with a soft pouch as prior models have had. Though Apple changed the adhesive in the iPhone 16 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-16/) models, that's not the case in the Apple Watch, and it uses traditional adhesive. iFixit took a close up look at the OLED display, and there wasn't a noticeable difference between the Series 9 and the Series 10. Apple tweaked the Series 10 display to allow for wider viewing angles, but it's not a feature that can be seen internally. iFixit gave the Apple Watch Series 10 a 3 out of 10 repairability score because it's so difficult to get to the battery and to replace the glass at the bottom.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: Apple Watch 10 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: Apple Watch (Buy Now) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Apple_Watch)</div> This article, "iFixit Shares Apple Watch Series 10 Teardown (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/10/07/ifixit-shares-apple-watch-series-10-teardown/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ifixit-shares-apple-watch-series-10-teardown.2439472/) in our forums Source: iFixit Shares Apple Watch Series 10 Teardown (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/10/07/ifixit-shares-apple-watch-series-10-teardown/) |
