This is the inside of the new Apple Watch Series 12

After learning what’s new in the Apple Watch Series 12 and the Ultra 4, we can see what’s under their screens. After doing the same with the AirPods 5, iFixit has taken both models apart and shows us how Apple has reorganized several internal components to get more out of a surprisingly small space.

A bigger battery and simpler connections

The Series 12 has a 1.461 Wh battery, compared with the 1.403 Wh one in the Series 11. In the Ultra 4, the battery is rated at 2.444 Wh, compared with the 2.313 Wh of the Ultra 3. A moderate improvement, yes, but one that helps improve the battery life and charging of these watches. What’s more, Apple has simplified the screen’s internal connection, replacing the previous connector with a snap-on one that makes repairs and battery replacements easier.

The teardown reveals the Taptic Engine, the new sensors and, in general, how enormously compact the whole arrangement is, since every millimeter of interior space is used with precision. We also see the new sensor array, but there’s more.

The Series 12 and the Ultra 4 share the new S11 chip, a key piece for Audio Intelligence and the new health capabilities. Hardware that supports software that keeps adding more and more features to the watch.
