The most underrated feature iPhones had that made me, a staunch Android user, look like I was in the past. It was revolutionary with the functionality unlocking capabilities like never before. Except that was a pain for Apple in both ways. It made the display assembly thicker and not many users had thought of the usefulness of such a feature. While Apple ultimately ported many of its functionalities to tap and hold, it won't have the same feeling as if you were "pressing an actual button" on what would otherwise be a large flat screen. And the only one thing that I hoped Control Center would have till iOS 13 came out was force touch WiFi to quickly access to nearby SSIDs, just makes life easier because the only way before that was to actually navigate through Settings to connect to a WiFi network.
Downcycling, I had series 2, battery faded, changed battery & gave to my wife, then got Series 5 / reduce / reuse / then if all else fails recycle // you can also upcycle, hack or mod too
Ahahha best joke ever apple has done nothing but making repairs obsolete with the screen replacement warning on iphone 11 up and the battery replacement warning on the xs this is bullshit
Wazx6 Yeah but now Apple is allowing independent repair shops to officially service iPhones, they’re giving training and manuals and software that can verify battery replacements and get rid of the warning.

At the end of the day, this is an extremely small device with high expectations for water resiliency.... not to mention the high tolerances of ridge-free butting of the various external components (screen to case to back-plate). I'm honestly amazed that it can be repaired at all - let alone by a layman. Try taking apart a Swiss watch sometime.... and good luck.
I made a battery replacement and it's messed up. The battery isn't the problem but the metal clip connection between the screen and the motherboard does not connect. Apple logo just comes on and off
some screen kits come with the adhesive, but those mostly apply for phones and even those won’t guarantee the exact same water resistance as it did before

Thanks for the video, now I can disassemble two apple watches, one has a stainless steel frame but the internals dont work, and the other one has an aluminum frame but the internals work, so if I disassemble both of them I can use the parts and make one working apple watch.
Congratulations on being the first review I’ve seen that includes details about the battery 😄 now if only I could find one that includes battery life...
I'm kinda sad to see force touch has gone away. Have to admit that not anyone couldn't get used to it. Anyone who has an iPhone 6s, 7, 8 can quick switch from app to app by hard press the left edge of the screen.
I need back glass to replace. Does back glass only sits on adhesive? Or is there screws, that holding ad well? Where can I buy back glass replacement for series 6 44mm?
Seems like sponsered teardown!!😷 From outrside and in real world there is only one upgrade on series 6, but this guy highlighted so many upgrades inside...FEELS LIKE APPLE EVENT PART 2 😆🤣
It was nice to see inside of Apple watch. But make the video a streamlined. There were footages in between of older video and even after opening up, showing the closed video footage. Make confusing.
Is there a deeper purpose to have that irritating background music? Is the person who speaks not interesting or important? Does ANYONE watch the channel to hear music?
I don’t mind it Edit: Guys it would be a lot better if you didn’t make fun of his editing style. It’s really rude, as you 100% know. You can just go watch another video if you don’t like it.
I've run into trouble on my s6 40mm repair. I've cut the wire that runs between the LCD screen and the main body of the watch, parallel to the two ribbon cables. What does that wire do and how do I replace it?
Buenas tardes, tengo un Apple Watch series 5 y empezó a volverse loca la corona digital sin que yo la toque! Se mueve sola! Digitalmente. Que puede ser? Gracias
Some of these products on the iFixit store are either more expensive than the whole product on eBay or just very expensive. They really need to lower the prices on their things.

The opportunity to say “take it with a grain of rice” instead of salt was missed here. 😆
Or to compare the screw against a grain of salt
I was going to comment the same
Comparing screw with rice now I don't know if this this channel is American or Asian

Yep
are you going to disassembly Apple Watch SE also?
Was going to ask the same thing, since i bought that one the day it came out

because they didnt tear it down?
@@maheshrathod204 it has so many irreplaceable uses like notifying or alarming you without disturbing other people.
Battery replacement seems to be the most important part. This decides what is the watch life.
And it's easiest now
Reuse is much better for environment than recycling

Me:- Ohh!! Apple Watch series 6 is released, lets see what's inside it.
Whoa. I want some of these tools. I like taking stuff apart to see how it works.
it's nice to see that apple is sort of taking steps in the right direction. Maybe they are slowly cleaning up the act a bit. but who knows.

Don’t have an Apple Watch but I like watching this.
Liking the 2160p and 1440p video quality options.
Please use mah for battery capacity
I second this
Does not make sense. mAh does not tell you anything if you don’t know the voltage. Wh is the right one to use.

i found this channel by mistake
and stick with it
Everything with apple is so damn tidy! Be it the outside or the inside it looks meticulous. Amazing engineering.
Where to get one but for cheaper price? Thank you
bought mine series 5 at iwatchclone,com . series 6 is overrated
yea they are best , bought mine there too
Wait a few months and get one off eBay or something
Amazon
Sams club $389 40MM gps only
very nice I am waiting for my series 6, it will arrive on Friday the 25th I will not do that XD
Do the 44mm Cellular version please.

U guys shud also show hw to reassemble it
Nice piece of technology teardowned by Ifixit. Nice video.
I lost myself when i saw the IFixit’s IOpener
I don't know much about repairability, but if I change the screen what will happen to the glue? Will it be less water-resistant?
some screen kits come with the adhesive, but those mostly apply for phones and even those won’t guarantee the exact same water resistance as it did before
Most of the time you can purchase the replacement adhesive kit with the screen, no worries.
Could you please do a teardown of the Apple Watch SE and Homepod mini
I’m still not upgrading from my Series 2!
Still waiting for SE TEARDOWN
"here is a screw and here is a grain of rice" welcome to my world were microsoldering is a real life thing and a screw size component is actually very big :D
Do a Apple Watch se teardown plz
For the price of an iFixit kit, you could get two years of AppleCare+
I predicted a 1 repairability score like always since this is apple but 6 is kinda surprising
Their score doesn't make any sense...
good luck getting parts tho.
Troy R us iFixit scores for iPhones are usually the better ones; Samsung, Huawei, etc are generally way more difficult to repair.
Yet it’s always Apple in the headlines 🤷🏻♂️
you should compare the score to similar devices (smartwatches). of course most swartwatches are hard to repair.
Finally this video! Thanks for keeping up the great work guys
its really can be used in swimming in water? how deep it can be used& good seal? thanks.
Getting my Series 6 next week ☺️
VenoStuff what kind of band did u get?
Scott Gunderson I’d like to know as well.
Panda Crazy I got the series six 44mm today (blue) with the solo loop. The paper fit cut out worked perfect.
Scott Gunderson 44mm silver (gps) with deep navy sport band 👍
VenoStuff ooooo nice! You will like the band color.
Can you link me to a product with a 10/10 reparability score?
They could DRAMATICALLY shrink that taptic engine down and have tons of room for other, cooler features
What is the third tiny ribbon attached to the screen? I accidently tore it out of the body removing the broken screen
Thanks for the video, now I can disassemble two apple watches, one has a stainless steel frame but the internals dont work, and the other one has an aluminum frame but the internals work, so if I disassemble both of them I can use the parts and make one working apple watch.

are those display & other components paired to the motherboard??

Where can I buy back glass replacement for series 6 44mm?
I have the same question. I have a minor crack on the surface of the glass, away from the sensors.
Is it possible to put all the series 6 components into a stainless series 5 case?
Can we see the code inside that watch?
Hi, does anyone know which component/sensor is responsible for temperature detection when the watch overheats?
This guy is my favourite narrator
I really wish this was more indepth
How to join the display back? What kind of glue should be used?
Just to have the real picture of the size. What kind of RICE you used for this video?
Not sure but it kinda looked like jasmine rice :)

Having a Series 4 I've seen zero reasons to "upgrade" thus far via 5,6.
What is the 3rd Cable doing which is also connected to the display?
But why are you using a guitar plectrum for its disassembly?
So is it safe to disconnect the screen without disconnecting the battery first?
Me parece mucho un 6 sobre 10. A veces no os entiendo… 🤷♂️
please do the SE next. Thanks.

Can the series 7 battery fit the 6? It's only a 1mm larger body and a few mah larger. I can't seem to find any physical specs on the two
Is the series 4 the same as series 5 as I have a stock power button that refuses to budge looks like I’ll have to pull it apart to replace the button
I don’t get why the screw type is even an issue, almost every screen replacement comes with free screwdrivers
These watches are really an amazing piece of technology. I had one but I ended up selling it because they’re nearly useless… ugh :(
What makes you think it’s useless? I’m thinking of buying one and some real life feedback would be useful.
Keep it up broO
