With new devices being released, iFixit is back at it again and they take a look and the “guts” of the new Apple Watch Series 2.
From bigger battery to larger taptic engine and new antenna module with GPS, the Apple Watch Series 2 has no more secrets…
The teardown revels a 33% larger battery ( 273 mAh ) in the 38mm model. However, due to the addition of a GPS and the brighter display, the battery life of the Apple Watch Series 2 is equal with the previous generation.
Due to Apple swimproofing the new Apple Watch, the adhesive on Series 2 is “much stronger” and there’s a large metal shield next to the Digital Crown.
The teardown also shows the new S2 chip, a larger taptic engine, new antenna module with GPS, a second microphone and a redesigned speaker – designed to fill up with water when you swim and then to vibrate to pump out excess water.
