Tech company iFixit has conducted a meticulous teardown of the recently launched Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Apple Watch Series 9, offering intriguing insights into their internal designs and hardware specifications. Notably, the Ultra 2 model boasts a 564 mAh battery, a 4% increase from its predecessor, the original Apple Watch Ultra. Surprisingly, both models maintain the same battery life of up to 36 hours.

The teardown also confirmed that the 41mm Series 9 retains its predecessor's battery capacity at 282 mAh, with no significant hardware changes linked to the upcoming Double Tap gesture in watchOS 10.1.

Design-wise, both Ultra 2 and Series 9 closely resemble their predecessors, indicating Apple's commitment to consistent design and performance philosophy. This prompts questions about Apple's future smartwatch developments: Will battery capacity continue to increase, potentially extending battery life, or will the focus shift to other enhancements like processing power and features? These answers will become clearer with future Apple device revelations.
