Nge-7 kaSeptemba, inkampani esekwe eCupertino yazisa ngeemodeli ezintsha ze-iPhone, ii-headphone ezingenazingcingo ze-AirPod kunye nesizukulwana sesibini se-Apple Watch, isizukulwana sesibini esisizise njengezona zinto zintsha ukumelana namanzi kunye ne-GPS eyakhelwe kwisixhobo. Ukuze isixhobo sikwazi ukusebenzisa i-GPS ngaphandle kokuba ibhetri ichaphazeleke ngamandla, iApple isebenzise olu hlaziyo ukwandisa ubungakanani bebhetri, njengoko iqinisekisiwe ngokusesikweni ngabafana be-iFixit, emva kokutsala esi sizukulwana sesibini seApple Watch eManzana.
Kodwa ngaphandle kweGPS, emele inxenye ebalulekileyo kusetyenziso lwebhetri yesixhobo, ukukhanya kwesikrini se-OLED kuye kwandiswa kwesi sizukulwana sesibini sezixhobo. Njengoko sinokubona kwimifanekiso eboniswe yi-iFixit, imodeli ye-38-millimeter, ekuphela kwento abaye bakwazi ukuyicazulula ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, isinika ibhetri ye-273 mAh, xa kuthelekiswa ne-205 mAh yemodeli yesizukulwana sokuqala.
Ukongeza kwibhetri enkulu yamandla, isixa seglue sokutywina isikrini se-OLED kwisisu semoto sakho sandisiwe ukulungiselela ukunikezela ngokuchasene namanzi iApple iphumeze esi sixhobo. Enye into entsha esisiziselwe yona sesi sizukulwana sisithethi esitsha, eyilelwe ukuba ikwazi ukugxotha amanzi ngalo lonke ixesha sisebenzisa xa siqubha.
Ekumiselweni kwesi sizukulwana sesibini, ayilulo utshintsho olukhulu kwimisebenzi kwaye uninzi lwabasebenzisi banandipha isizukulwana sokuqala, abacwangcisi ukuphucula isixhobo sabo kwimodeli yesizukulwana sesibini, ngakumbi ukuba abacwangcisi ukusebenzisa i-GPS kunye nokumelana namanzi (ukuntywila ukuya kwiimitha ezingama-50) kuyinto yesibini kubo.
