Apple is utilizing a 1.17 Wh battery in the 44mm Apple Watch Series 6, which is simply a minor increase (3.5 percent) over the battery utilized in the prior-generation Apple Watch Series 5. That must come as no surprise as the Series 6 continues to offer the very same 18-hour “all-day” battery life as previous models. The 40mm design, which iFixit likewise took a look at, has a 1.024 Wh capacity, an 8.5 percent increase over the 40mm Series 5.
iFixit today did among its conventional teardowns on the new Apple Watch Series 6 with GPS and LTE, which ended up being available for purchase last Friday. While the brand-new Series 6 designs look quite comparable to the Series 5 models externally, it turns out there are quite a couple of internal tweaks and adjustments to support brand-new features like Blood Oxygen Monitoring.
The screen is fused to the top of the sensor and the housing variety, updated with brand-new sensors for Blood Oxygen monitoring, is merged to the bottom.
The 2020 Apple Watch Series 6 ultimately earned a repairability score of 6 out of 10 thanks to the simpler screen replacements and battery replacements, but there are still small tri-point screws to handle and the flex cable televisions mounted straight to the S6 plan require competent microsoldering if an unexpected tear happens.

The brand-new Apple Watch models open up like a book just like the
iPhone instead of from the top down like previous Apple Watch designs. Because
Force Touch has been removed, there is no Force Touch gasket component, that makes it easier to tear into the new Apple Watch designs. iFixit also discovered less cables for a more streamlined style that uses simpler repair work.
All in all, iFixit was impressed with Apples capability to pack new sensing units, a bigger capacity battery, and a larger Taptic Engine into a thinner case.
They just keep polishing this thing to a greater and greater gloss and its practically sneaky how much of it they dont tell you about, keeping all the focus on the whiz-bang health functions.
Theres a bigger Taptic Engine in the Apple Watch Series 6, and the frame has actually been somewhat customized with a narrower lip for adhesive. This tweak, together with the removal of Force Touch, might be why this yearss designs are simply a bit thinner (10.4 mm vs 10.74 mm).
