Well, by iFixit standards engineering gets no credit. Did you catch the negative connotation in reference to the Taptic Engine, being “finicky” and tougher than everything else to remove. They only want to see things more repairable, and any engineering decision even one for the genuine better is evil. Even if that decision is better for the 90% standard consumer but makes the 1% of people who would even consider opening an Apple Watch slightly more difficult. I know Apple is such an evil company for securing their vibrator so it doesn’t sound like THE LATEST SAMSUNG PHONES. *VRRMMMMM VRMMM*

Has little weight with springs attached from the both sides keeping it in the center. Surrounded with coils which when AC given to them move that weight back and forth with various frequency and amplitude depending on the current given(like solenoid in electric valves or simple speaker(only here coil moves relative to the metal core)). That allows to create wide spectrum of vibrations and their combination. Hope that explains it but we definitely wait on the video(maybe a short since there is not much to talk about)

Love this. I'm always reminded of something that I read/heard somewhere. That the general lay person has absolutely no idea of how good the engineering is that makes his/her world go round. When you see the scale of the parts in that watch and then if you know the abilities of said watch it's damned astounding. To me I'm always amazed at the reliability of ICE in cars. That in general everybody gets up each day walks to their car throws a key in and expects and is rewarded when said vehicle starts up and they drive away. While an ICE is not the same as the electronics it's just amazing at what engineers can do. It's amazing how far engineers take ideas when implementing technology. I'm disappointed when I go out and my vehicle doesn't start or has issues. I lambaste software creators for blue screens, but like that I can simply reboot and continue on .... mostly. But when it comes to hardware just frigging amazed. Now iFixit ... get ahold of a John Deere combine and fix them ... LOL
I’m so curious as to why the smaller model has a hard pouch for the battery but the larger has a soft. It’s the same now with the iPhone 16 pro and max. Wonder what the dis/advantages of either design are
I know people complain about how little has changed, but I think it's because the Watch has matured like the smartphone. I don't think there's much else left to do here. Ease of repair could be improved, but I'm mostly happy with the Apple Watch's progression as it stands.
I think they need to optimize the Taptic Engine size, (making it smaller, while maintaining the same haptic intensity) that way they could increase the battery size, and finally start competing with the likes of Garmin and their Smartwatch battery life. Apple is better in most regards, but they're still behind in the battery department.
@@huiAPPOAJ Apple isn't a Chinese company and they're not located in China, so they can't get their hands on silicon carbon or semi solid state batteries, battery life can't really be improved, not in 5 years either. Time to switch to Chinese my guy.
That s the most interesting teardown of that presentation. I went to your channel every day and looked to see if you had released it. Thanks for the work, love from Russia
@@glebcreativ1 I would understand that. But I have yet to see anything on whether the AW 10 has the oxygen sensor enabled outside the US. Therefore, does it even have it no matter where it's sold?
yes, a honest 3/10 because they lack the 5/10 of google which implies breaking the screen and breaking the battery after hours of attempting to remove it. how much more unbiased can one get?
I need a new one but I kinda wish they stuck with the 40mm the 42 is just too big for my wrist. I’m not getting an SE cause I can’t bare not having an always on display.
Nice tear down. Does the series 10 have the oximeter sensor installed so that it can be turned on with a software update? Apple is being quiet about it..
Can anyone confirm if the depth gauges are the same with ultra? I wonder if there are artificially limited to 6 meters. Never heard such a shallow depth gauge before on a watch.
You guys going to post actual photos like you did for watch series 9 teardown? or a 3d scan GIF like that teardown too? you guys posted kind of wildly different for both teardowns. one has photos and a rotating 3d scan and for series 10 just a youtube video. i would like to compare 9 vs 10. THANKS
My only question is : When we want to replace the battery, how to be sure that the 50 meters waterproof will be restored as a new watch ? Is it even possible to?
I understand that vibration is important, but why is there still a need for such a large taptic engine? They should have developed a smaller, more innovative version by now, given years have passed using the same one.
For what it's worth, I had early digital watches with user-swappable batteries, and often just had the guy at Sears do the replacement because...it's a watch, it's tiny, and it's delicate. Having loss/theft/damage/warranty plan on the watch also gets you a free battery swap if you need one, and I did that. I'm just fine with that. I enjoy having the "right" to have a slim waterproof object on my wrist without the government outlawing good design.
This entirely goes against the point of right to repair. It is not outlawing good design, and not a single person is being required to fix their own product, but when planned obsolescence is becoming a larger and larger force and Apple is intentionally making a product that basically doesn't function after three years, requiring that they make it 50% easier to access and replace the battery is definitely a reasonable stance to take. Also, many others and I turn up our noses at paying Apple EVEN MORE MONEY monthly when the product I paid for should already be guaranteed to work under normal circumstances for a certain amount of time. I'm not saying you need to know more about right to repair, but rhetoric like yours is a large part of the reason that corporations have become lazier and lazier, and have stopped realizing the necessary obligation they have towards the consumer, and hopefully will cause the deprioritization of the stockholders.
Digital watches were never that delicate. Changing the battery was always trivial. A child can literally manage to do it. The government is not seeking to outlaw good design. Right to repair is about tackling bad design. A sealed device that requires specialists to replace the battery is bad design in the case of a watch. It doesn't have to be sealed. It does not have to be designed so the battery cannot be replaced easily. I have waterproof digital watches I bought 25 years ago that still work. The battery is easily available and replaceable. I do it myself and the watches are still waterproof.
I thought of purchasing one, specifically the Series 9, as it was cheaper during this season’s sale, but I didn’t. I mostly need it for workouts, and my choices are Coros, Garmin, and the Apple Watch Series 9. Unfortunately, Garmin stopped selling online in India, so I’m left with Coros and Apple. Any suggestions from the audience would be appreciated between Garmin and Coros.
Unfortunately I don't know Coros. My experience with an older Apple Watch compared to the cheapest options available from both Garmin and Huawei is that even the basic models from those brands have superior exercise features, because that is their focus. They also have vastly better battery life. However the Apple Watch is a substantially slicker smart watch overall compared to the other brands.
My Apple Watch series 9 charges way quicker then that maybe you need to try charge them individually not all at once as I don’t think that’s right, great video regardless though
You don't have to wait 10y, just until 2027, as then the a new EU regulation to prevent electric waste and increase longlivity of electronic devices starts. Any company that wants to releases any electronic device on the EU (consumer) market has to make sure it can be repaired without special knowledge (exception are e.g. power supplys, certain medical tech and similar) and without having to seek out repair shops. Companies have to keep spare parts at stock for up to 10y and sell them at a decent price. Furthermore, battery powered devices have to be designed in a way that allows easy removal of the battery, without having to take apart half the device and especially not pry open the screen. And lastly companies have to support their devices with at least 5y of regular software updates and up to 10y with security ones.
Apple will probably either find a way around it or they’ll stop selling certain products in the eu. They already delayed Apple Intelligence due to eu regulations.
Ah yes, the "right" to have an Apple Watch with the chunky design of the Apple Newton. I had one of those. They were "pocketable", you know, if you were wearing an overcoat.
The battery is pretty removable. Take off the back glass, take out some screws, and the battery connector is pretty easily accessible. From there, apply a current to the battery connector and grounding screw to remove it. It’s really not bad.
I wonder why the thing that vibrates and physically moves is fiddlly and secured down like nothing else…. iFixit please, can you hire an engineer to work along side your production staff? PLEASE or anyone with 2 brain cells
I have the s10 46 mm and I would say the battery life is around a day and a half30-36 hours). I have background app refresh off/always on display on. That battery life would be if I did not work out. Working out with the workout app running and playing music with Bluetooth headphones does drain the battery and get it back to around 25hours(which Apple seems to be figuring in on a regular days usage). The 18 hours is definitely a very conservative number and probably more for the 42mm and the 46mm when it ages a bit. It’s definitely surprised me a bit how decent the s10’s battery is compared to past Apple Watches. Also, it must be said the fast charging is really nice and convenient. I generally like taking my watch off for a breather or for a shower/after a workout, so there’s always at least 20 mins or so to top the battery off.
Why does a vibrator take almost half of the case? With a weak battery that barely lasts a day I would rather have a smaller taptic engine and a bigger battery. One reason to never buy an apple watch.
As replied to one guy above, taptic engine Has little weight with springs attached from the both sides keeping it in the center. Surrounded with coils which when AC given to them move that weight back and forth with various frequency and amplitude depending on the current given(like solenoid in electric valves or simple speaker(only here coil moves relative to the metal core)). That allows to create wide spectrum of vibrations and their combination. Here with size reduction weight of that little moving block will reduce so the vibration impact won’t be that strong. There is definitely a way to improve it but for now that’s the most efficient engineers can give us. Maybe later we will have another better technology to give user taptic feedback (which is huge part of user experience when using apple watch)
I’ve been using every single day for 6.5 years an Apple watch series 1 without a single repair. It’s still working perfectly and I still use it even in the pool when swimming. You’re the one who’s not educated, if only you looked up how much these devices can last maybe you wouldn’t make these comments to make iFixit happy. Obviously iFixit sells parts so they’re doing their best to convince you apple products have to be more repairable, it’s just their business. That being said I totally agree they could engineer the apple watch to be opened from the back and put the battery right under the sensor circle so it would be very easy to replace
Repairability aside, you can’t deny this is such an engineering marvel.

there is little to no way to get the whole waterproof back, if you have apple care and send them your watch, they likely give you another one.
If it is badly designed then no. Properly designed waterproof watches can be opened and easily resealed.
Also from what I've read, SiP9 and SiP10 have the same part #. Are there any differences?
There are. In general the CPU is the same, but there are small changes to the display engine and tweaks to the NPU.
The video was in rebel thank you ! Love it ! It’s crazy how tiny things are ! And how weird the “LTPO3” is compared to the Apple Watch 9 …
Different OLED materials. Just like 16 Pro uses M14 materials set compared to M12 in 16/15 Pro/14 Pro.
In the watch 9 what was the space between screen and case?
What happened to using creative electron for the scans
what are you talking about swappable batteries? I literally changed my series 4 battery at a repair shop a year ago without degrading water proof
Is the speaker in the frame/housing??
See you when the battery last over 15 to 20 days of normal usage!
