The IFIXIT team has published their complete teardown from Apple Watch Series 7, revealing a big and small change with the help of three former Apple engineers. The team teases that Apple Watch Series 7 Sports “that only the eyes can be trained,” including many subtle tweaks that the Teadown team is “significant” to upgrade the overall hardware.
Apple Watch Series 7 was introduced last month, with Apple then revealed in early October that the model would be available to buy on October 15. Locking follows many reports that claim on behalf of people who experience delays with the latest models that can be used because of production struggles related to hardware changes.
Tearardown entered several components that might be behind this struggle, including the new OLED screen with only one Flex cable, which shows the use of cellular touch technology. The IFIXIT team behind this theater speculates that a new look causes manufacturing problems that lead to the launch of Apple Watch Series 7 without the company’s release date.
Entering the watch using heat, suction cups, and picks not proven too difficult during tears, even though the process requires a soft touch to avoid fragile component damage. In addition to the new look, Teardown shows a new battery with a wider dimension compared to the previous model, and a slight increase in energy density and capacity.
Other discoveries include more easily removing the speakers and taptic machines, a tweak to the design of the speaker grille, and a surprise elimination of the diagnostic diagnostic port. Overall, the IFIXIT team gave the SmartWatch Apple Watch Series 7 Repair Scores 6 of 10, assuming you were not afraid to risk digging yourself.
