这块闪亮的新Apple Watch有什么内涵呢
-
第二代OLEDForce Touch视网膜屏幕
-
苹果（Apple）定制手表封装系统
-
可选配LTE和UMTS功能，内建GPS/GLONASS、NFC、2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n WiFi及蓝牙4.2
-

-
防水功能（最深50米）
-

-
-
-
时间到了，看样子整体布局并没怎么改变，希望我们旧有的拆解方式还能奏效
-
总结：加热、滑翘，稳扎稳打，不要被那个小红点所迷惑
-
抛开那个红点，我觉得我们正在拆解Watch Series 2，这俩简直一模一样
-
-
-
排线已解脱，让我们开看看这块屏幕
-
整体而言，这块屏幕和Series 2并没有太大差别，但有一点不同，那就是多了个多频天线（为了LTE？）
-
现在的这块屏幕和上代相比少了个IC芯片，可能那块芯片并不太重要吧
-
亚德诺半导体（Analog Devices）343S00092 触摸控制芯片
-
恩智浦半导体（NXP）80V18 NFC模块
-
空焊区域（曾经的20211CP TD1628A芯片？）
…and? are the series 2 and 3 displays compatible?
-
-
-
-
虽然iPhone的电池容量在缩小，但Apple Watch的电池容量却吸引了我们的注意
-
Series 3的电池型号是A1848，封装1.07Wh能量（3.82V 279mAh）

on the side opposite the crown on the taptic engine is a convoluted maze of connected ribbon cables that is actually soldered to the taptic engine - right under the ribbon cable underneath what looks to be BGA chip (black, square - similar in size to a tristar chip) and trying to lift this ribbon cable to remove the taptic engine in the order this teardown indicates will result in torn pads - either a max total of 4 or in my case, i only tore 2. this teardown shown here resulted in 4 torn pads, which you can see in step 10 first photo. the photo shows the cable flipped back over and you can clearly see the torn pad area. and by also folding the ribbon cable back, it can also tear away at the underlying solder connecting the ribbon cable to the motherboard. atm, it appears to me that to properly remove the taptic, it needs to stay where it is and remove the whole motherboard including the taptic engine. so to replace just the taptic engine - would involve a large amount of risk and work.
It would’ve been really nice if ifixit called this out. I didn’t see your comment until after I removed that ribbon cable. At first it looks like it’s some kind of adhesive, but I suppose it is actually soldered? Anyway, time for me to buy a new watch. Thanks ifixit!

随着进一步的拆解，我们取出了带有主动排水功能的扬声器，这个扬声器可以在你潜入水下时防范进水
-
有了series 2的对比，我们得到了些有用的新东西—全新的RF射频芯片，这应该是用来处理LTE功能的
-
还有另一个变化，在麦克风旁边的排气孔有着一个看样子像是气压传感器的模块
-
是时候拉出主板了

Hi iFixit,
is it possible to see what’s inside the Apple S6 module ? I suspect LTE modem and others are inside ?? Thanks
Hate to do this but someone else removed the cap to show the components hiding underneath , heres the link http://techinsights.com/about-techinsigh...
Don’t worry ifixit, you are still the first place I go to for teardowns, but its always good to look around for more info.

@aaronzzz We’re fans of TechInsights and have worked with them a time or two on collaborative teardowns. So, no hard feelings! They do fantastic work. Thanks for the link!
After a comparison of X-Ray picture above with the teardown, we came to believe that there are at least 3-4 chips missing on the teardown, and they’re most likely located under the “S3” marked radiator sink, glued to it from the other side. These chips likely include the Apple CPU itself, the modem and possibly the RF.

最后一步：背板。它被压在像是特氟龙材质的圆环中但只需要使用大拇指的顶推便可取下
-
这种材质已经在Watch上标准化生产了，现在更是加入了陶瓷，取代了之前Ion-X与蓝宝石材质
-
这其中还包括光电血容体积扫描器（PPG）用于检测心率
-
无线充电线圈似乎进行了修改，以支持大部分Qi制式无线充电设备
-
最后，新的气压计占用了麦克风旁边的位置，那么通气孔去哪了？答案就是：在诊断接口旁边
the non-cellular variant is still that composite back, while the higher end versions have always been ceramic. Sapphire or Ion-X is only the front display cover.
The watch back is ceramic on the GPS + Cellular Series 3, but it’s composite on the GPS-only model. Previous watches have had a composite or ceramic back, never sapphire or Ion-X. Source: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204507
hey do any one know why i cant pop out the ppg sensor out. i think it has something to do with this metal ring around it, but i can not figure out how to get it off.

- 表带可以简单轻松快速地更换
- 屏幕更换很困难，但是是可以更换的，屏幕是拆解过程中第一个被拆解出来的，并且通过零插拔力连接器（ZIP）连接
- 电池更换比较棘手，但如果你有Y型螺丝就很简单
- 虽然不是独有，但Y型螺丝是个维修的阻碍
- 维修任何组件电缆都需要焊接工作
- 封装的S3系统让主板级维修变得难以实现

What’s the purpose of the air vent that began with Series 2? It’s clearly not for barometric readings since Series 2 lacked a barometric altimeter.
Not sure of I didn't See a barometer at the Apple Watch

does apple tv 4k teardown coming soon? i am curious about power supply voltage and ampere. nice btw.
Can a series 2 be used with a iPhone 8 plus or X
Could you show the detail of “Screen as LTE antenna” that introduced during the Apple Event on 12 Sept.?
Apple was “economical” with the truth. The antenna is glued to the back of the screen and made by a different process.
Wow that taptic engine is taking up at least 30% of space.
Is the battery capacity the same in the larger 42mm version?
whats the GPS module used in this watch
Are the series 2 and 3 screens changeable
Same question about interchangeable screens. I need a replacement, but 38mm Series 3 screens are hard to come by.
We’re do I get a new screen
Where can I found Apple Watch 3 screen?? I need a replacement.
Thanks
Although board level repairs aren’t viable, is it possible to replace the board of an apple watch? When putting the watch back together, did it still seem waterproof?
What is the design name of the self-emptying speaker?
Where is the LTE-Antenna? Respectively the ground plane for the antenna?
I need to replace the back housing/battery cover. Mine is shattered after running it over with my truck!!! The screen didn’t even crack! Just the back button/glass. Can I order that part here?
Can you purchase a new speaker. The current speaker I have no longer works
For the life of me, I cannot find the zif connector latch on my Apple series 3 display. I can pull the cables out and slide them back in, but there is no latch or any other pivoting mechanism that I can find. I completely boogered up my old display zif connectors trying to find a swinging latch. Every YouTube video mentions them and shows how to open them but not in enough detail to actually enable you to see what is happening. My new display does not work, so I can only assume that either the latch is not closed on the new display or was not opened when I inserted the cables.
Where is the WiFi / Bluetooth antenna?
Hallo,
wo bekomme ich den die winzige Y000 Tri-Point Schraube für meine iWatch3 her….???
Meine hat sich im wahrsten Sinne aus dem Staub gemacht und sie wieder zu finden ist ja fast aussichtslos….
LG Andreas
The digital crown can be removed. I’ve done it. Takes a lot of patience and a little heat.
My Series 3 displayed popped off (swollen battery maybe) and the side with display cables are as seen here, but the top part of the display is anchored by another a cable or something. Can’t lift it away enough to see and don’t want to force it.
Display is totally intact and working, no scratches or cracks. Just the touchscreen is wacked out since it popped off.
Where can I get the speaker for this watch?
Is the display or any other part is tied to the motherboard? Can I change the motherboard with another one?
Is there a way to fix a stuck button? Otherwise my Watch series 3 works fine
So can I take a 38mm series 3 and put it in a 42mm body with a 42mm screen? I’ve been looking EVERYWHERE for this info and can’t find it!
