A higher battery and changes in the screen of the new models of the Apple Watch Series 5, added to the new materials used for the device case (titanium and ceramic) are the main changes of these new Apple watches compared to the previous version, the Series 4.
We already saw these changes in the media a few days ago and now iFixit with its particular breakdown confirms them. The new Chip S5, would be the main novelty in terms of hardware in addition to some changes in the screen so that the screen works always on, slightly more battery and a CPU and GPU the same as in the previous model.
The final score of this Apple Watch Series 5 offered by the iFixit team is 6 out of 10
Which means that Some components of the new Apple Watch can be repaired quite well. Glues abound in new electronic devices and in this case we also have the seal for water resistance that can be damaged when opening the watch. Other details of this breakdown can be found in the iFixit's own website.
But we are going with the main changes of these new Series 5. The battery according to iFixit account is a 1,4% larger on 44mm model compared to Series 4 and has 10% more capacity on the 4mm Series 40 model. All this suggests that without being a very big difference it can give an extra autonomy to the watches that now always have the screen on but in reality we have seen that it is not entirely like that. Some users have verified it in their own watches that this older is not holding the pull in terms of autonomy.
The changes implemented in these new Apple Watch Series 5 are rather scarce but necessary to present a new product. At the moment we are still attentive to the issue of the battery and we hope that the duration of this increases with the passing of the days and the software updates that Apple may launch. In any case it does not seem like a general problem either and as we can see in the exploded view it is strange that it happens when the batteries of these Series 5 are larger ...
