Apple introduced the MacBook Pro and the new M1 processors at its second event last Tuesday. With this event, the first event has been thrown to the test, but the Apple Watch 7, which went on sale last Friday, maintains its agenda. Known for disassembling devices, iFixit has separated Apple’s new watch down to its finest hardware.
While the 41 and 45 mm Apple Watch Series 7 models were being disassembled, many unknown features emerged. Here are these features!
Apple Watch Series 7 unknown features
The Apple Watch 7 45mm has a 1,189 Wh (309 mAh) battery, a 1.6 percent increase over the 1.17Wh battery in the 44mm Series 6. The 41mm Apple Watch 7 comes with a 1,094Wh (approximately 220mAh) battery, a 6.8 percent increase over the 1,024Wh battery on the Series 6 40mm model.

The interior of Apple’s new watch is similar to the Series 6, but with minor differences such as removing the bracket where the diagnostic port was located in the old series.

Apple announced IP6X dust resistance for the Watch Series 7, which can also be found in older models. However, Apple has not done any specific testing for certification. However, there are some new input protection measures, such as a mesh covering the speaker grille.
iFixit worked with ex-Apple engineers at Instrumental for disassembly to provide us with some additional insight into why the Apple Watch might have seen delays prior to its October launch.
According to iFixit, the Apple Watch Series 7 features new display technology, which is likely a “huge inconvenience for scale-up production.” The new Apple Watch appears to be equipped with a touch-integrated OLED panel, or an “in-cell touch” also used in the iPhone 13. Apple also uses one flex cable for the display instead of two, and iFixit says it’s “not a minor change”.
