Apple Watch Series 7 Teardown

Published: 22/10/21

Teardown

Introduction

    • The Apple Watch Series 7 earns a 6 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):

    • Opening the Watch is difficult, but possible with heat and suction.

    • Display and battery replacements are relatively straightforward once the Watch is open.

    • Tiny tri-point screws throughout the Watch can be tricky to remove and keep track of.

    • Several important flex cables are mounted directly to the S7 package, requiring skilled microsoldering to replace if they are torn.

Is there going to be a text version of this soon? It’d be a lot more accessible ^.^

Lemma -

I don’t think they bother anymore with these. Might as well delete the whole Teardown section.

Which ECG AFE is used in Apple watch series 7 ?

BMM -

I wear a prosthetic arm and desperately wish I could put the sensor array in a liner and have the rest of the watch built into my socket.

apple charges +300EUR/USD for repairing the AW series 7, does this make any sense?
