38mm Apple Watch Sport teardown finds 205mAh battery, Taptic Engine and Apple S1 CPU

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">The folks at iFixit have dismantled an Apple Watch to find out the exact nature of the hardware that makes the smartwatch tick.</p>  <p>The Apple Watch comes with an AMOLED Retina display, and is offered in two sizes: the 38mm model, which has a resolution of 272 x 340 pixels (290 ppi), and a 42mm model that features a resolution of 312 x 390 pixels (302 ppi). The Watch is powered by Apple's custom-designed S1 CPU, and comes with 8GB on-board storage. In terms of sensors, there's an accelerometer, gyroscope, heart rate monitor, microphone and a speaker. The heart rate sensor uses a combination of infrared and visible-light sensors to determine your heart rate. Connectivity options on the Watch are in the form of NFC, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0.</p> <p>iFixit notes that the display panel was hard to remove as the "display cables are trapped under a springy bracket." Once the display is removed, we get a look at the Taptic Engine and Digital Crown, as well as the 3.8 V, 0.78 Wh 205mAh battery (secured by light adhesive) that is powering the Watch:</p> <div class="media-gallery"> <a href="

The first batch of units are now being delivered to customers in Australia, with several interested buyers lining up outside high-end boutiques that will stock the Apple Watch in limited quantities from later today.
