iFixit’s Apple Watch teardown includes a theory about device’s delayed launch - Ars Technica

This time, we get a look at the innards of the Apple Watch Series 7.

iFixit speculates that Apple now uses a wireless interface to service the Watch and reasonably ventures a guess that this may be a test drive for the eventual removal of the iPhone's lone port.

Whereas the 40 mm Series 6 had a 1.024 Wh battery, the 41 mm Series 7 comes in at 1.094 Wh.

The 44 mm Series 6's battery was 1.17 Wh, and the 45 mm Series 7's is 1.189 Wh. It's not a dramatic difference, but it likely plays a role in keeping the new Watch's rated battery life the same as the 2020 model, despite the larger, more power-hungry screen.

To that end, iFixit gave the Watch a 6 out of 10 repairability score, citing its "modular construction" and "straightforward access to the screen and battery." Knocks against the Watch include the absence of a service manual and the fact that the screen must be unglued and reglued with every repair.
