The Apple Watch Series 10 launched last month and now it’s finally time for us to take a look inside one. That’s because iFixit has published its video teardown of the 46mm version, and it’s quite fascinating.
To get into the watch, you’ll need to take advantage of a 0.176mm wide opening, and just pry, pry, pry and keep prying – having previously applied heat. The teardown reveals the 327mAh battery capacity, and also the rather gargantuan size of the Taptic motor – it’s about a third the size of the battery.
Speaking of the battery, it’s held in place by glue – just the normal type, nothing fancy. The sensors are very difficult to repair, and the sheer size of the Apple Watch makes any repair very difficult. That’s why iFixit only gave it a score of 3 out of 10 for repairability, with 0 being the least and 10 being the easiest to repair.
