Apple Watch Series 4 Teardown: 20% Less Battery Capacity, Hidden Barometric Sensor, and Streamlined Internals [Updated]

My 2011 MBP disagrees, and my 2005 iBook disagrees even more.

Neither needed repairs, and I used the former laptop in clubs and festivals for 5 years with Serato.

Yes, because back then Apple computers were better built than they are now. What I'm saying is that Apple's hardware is getting more and more fragile, and more difficult and expensive to repair. Older hardware was very good, 2011 was still a good year. 2005 even more so.

My 2017 iMac is built fantastically well, so maybe you are referring specifically to the MBP keyboard?

Yeah, all the Jony Ive-Haters need to realize that he also designs stuff like this!

I’m loving my apple devices and it all due to his hard work.

Exciting news for those of us that will eventually upgrade (if the price ever comes down).

Through the proposed exposed hole that houses the sensor.

I’ve designed Apple Watch he didn’t engineer the internals. It’s team work.

Yes, it is Team-Work; but Jony Ive seems to take it for the entire team enough that I thought that someone needed to point out a clearly winning design.
