Ғылым және технология
It’s the Apple Watch Series 4! It’s thinner, has a larger display, increased heart monitoring capabilities which gives it the ability to perform an EKG, and today we’re gonna tear it down!

Thats one impressive sandwich of tech. I really love the professionalism of iFixit. No hidden ads for the products (expect the small mention of the iOpener) and no unnecessary material to stretch the tear downs beyond the magical 10 minute line.

And then they break the Forcetouch gasket, and tell you to buy one before even opening the goddamn thing because „youll break it anyways“ instead of showing you how to actually open the darn thing properly without breaking half the things in their videos. And very conveniently, they even offer all the spare parts, at a astronomical price directly from their website! What a coincidence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love this channel. No crap Less than 3 min. Explain everything.
~~~ThankYOU so much ~~its so amazing that there are so many connectors in that tiny case~
So beautiful inside!
looks amazing ifixit
What is inside the taptic engine?. It'll be great if you guys can do a video on that
That is a great video. I like how you explain what is inside the watch. What does the S4 processor look like?
Just i was surprised how big the Taptic Engine is, It occupies a lot of space in the beautiful smartwatch..
Very good video 👌👌
pla do a tear down of a rolex for comparison
Dope video
Will we also get a teardown of the 40mm version?
this soundtrack sounds like a piece from final fantasy 14 (steel reason ~ 00:50). also, nice video
So we can expect screen and battery replacements ? Good news
Is it still nessesary to buy a Forcetouch Gasket to get the Series 4 to work properly again. Because they disabled ForceTouch on all devices? Thanks in advanced.
So huge haptic engine 😎👍
Question: I attempted to fix a Series 2 watch screen, and it went well at first. I put that sticker back over top of the 3 screen ribbon connectors, and within 1 week, the display stopped working. Upon re-opening, the adhessive from the sticker melted all over the gold contact points on the ribbon cables AND the watch's motherboard itself. What gives?
Apparently the processor in this watch is as powerful as the one in the iPhone 6S, incredible.
Please make a Garmin FR 45 teardown tutorial.

1:00 "However the connecter is underneath a screwed in bracket" .... said as though this was something bad. Why? In a device designed to handle 32g, I'm glad it's been put together so it doesn't shake itself apart on the inside. Plus you guys get to sell another screwdriver which is basically your business model.

iOpener: grab a small denin fabric bag - or even a small fabric napkin - and fill it up with rice. Heck, even sand works...

Wouldn't it be better if Apple used a normal vibrator motor instead of huge taptic engine and fill that extra space with battery. I think people would like better battery life than premium vibrations.
@calinalecsandru181
5 жыл бұрын
The normal vibration motor feels like shit. Something like an electric toothbrush feels like. Or like androids do :) the haptic engine can create really impressive, subtle or strong vibrations and it can propagate the vibration from where its located to any point on the screen, making the phone feel as if it has a haptic engine underneath all points on the screen. So no, it wouldnt be a good idea. Its the small ideas that make apple so good and stand out
Disappointed with the much smaller battery than the last generation.

A waist of space for the 'taptic engine', better used for the stupidly short battery.

my apple watch 4 just die from over heat charging fucking sad
Well, no you do not have to break the force touch gasket, all you need to do if add some drops of OCA remover or even lighter fluid when getting between display and frame and do never use a blade, use a good quality spudger that has a thinned edge. I dont get why half the videos iFixit makes, involve destroying something, and then instead of doing it better or at least hiring someone eho actually knows what theyre doing, they tell ya to just buy a replacement part before you even open the goddamn thing and tell you that there is no other way of doing it! That is total bullshit guys, and it goes completely against, what iFixit stands for, they used to be a consumer-friendly internet portal, that actually helped the consumer open up and repair their device. But instead, now iFixit has come to the conclusion that selling parts and tools is a lot more lucrative than instead, actually helping the consumer here! Thats just wrong people!!

And the issue is? If youre gonna buy a 500$ watch, youre not gonna act like a broke ass (which you are) and try and pry it open just to change a 50$ piece which you bought online for 20$. Stop acting like a smart ass and get a life. Apple products arent made for low life tech wanna-be's who tinker with internals. Apple products arent centered around repairability or upgradebility.

Marcel Fox I did but there is nothing in the Title and the big and small versions differ in multiple points but the display as they have not only different sizes but different form factors now. They don’t even mention that the smaller version will have a smaller battery than the 291.8 mAh one.
Spoiler: Apple Watch Series 5 comes with an Automated external defibrillator (AED). Only problem is that the battery lasts only one shock. But I guess this makes sense: It is necessary to keep Apple's customers alive. :P
