Apple Watch Ultra 2 TEARDOWN confirms modified battery
More: Apple Watch Ultra 2 Review
iFixIt’s teardown video of the Apple Watch ULTRA 2 is linked below and has these three takeaways regarding any new components that might have been secretly added
- the battery is different to the original Ultra and is now rated at 564mAh, which is a 4% increase as reported here a few days ago.
- The Double tap gesture appears to have no new associated hardware outside of the main chip. So it’s a software upgrade and that’s upgrading from software that could already do the same thing. Hmmm.
- there’s obviously the new S9 chip
that’s it
I still think the 4% extra battery life is the most exciting thing about this product (I have one on my wrist at the moment).
is Apple Watch Ultra 2 Accurate? Yes but not always. [Detailed Report, Comparisons]

Did you manage to do some running with it? How is the gps accuracy? Same/similar to AWU1?
yes
i have some excellent overall results (I think the best on my standard test). tentatively i would say that the overall excellenace is brought down with tall building and tree cover…a well-worn story!!
I should have gone crazy to buy this watch. I’m unable to see any other reason except purchasing it for smart watch purpose if you have an iphone. Even a Venu 2 is a lot better for sports and general health tracking with 7 days of solid battery life.
Man, the design of Apple Watch series make me sick, really bad.
if you’re buying a smartwatch why even by the ULTRA unless you like the aesthetic?
Because you need a watch to make it through a day and night ????.
I’m with the other guy, no Apple Watch for me until it matches Garmin’s metrics and current battery life.
