Apple Watch Series 10 continues to be difficult to repair

You have to have strong nerves when the repair specialists at iFixit dismantle such a high-tech model like the new Apple Watch Series 10 down to the ground in the usual manner. Of course, do this carefully and according to all the rules of the art. However, as usual, it is definitely not recommended for copying without in-depth knowledge and suitable tools. But what comes to light is worth seeing. Starting with the CT scan of the latest Apple Watch, which offers a cool look inside the device.

Impressive interior – still no replaceable battery

To remove the Apple Watch Series 10 display, use a lot of heat to remove the disassembly, then disconnect and remove the battery. Later, the display of the Apple Watch Series 10 can be viewed under the microscope and the Taptic Engine of the Apple Watch as well as the SiP (System in Package) of the Apple Watch Series 10 can be removed. Further steps follow in the teardown until Fixit can answer questions about repairability and evaluate them. Despite many advances in the technology of the Apple Watch, the experts are not satisfied with this – the new watch only gets three out of ten points on the repairability scale.

Reading tip: Apple Watch 10 in the test – for water lovers and snorers

With reference to the “Right to Repair” movement, one hopes that this will definitely improve in the next few years. Above all, an easily replaceable battery is at the top of the teardown experts’ wish list for at least “for the next ten years”.
