With the Taptic Engine extracted, we inspect the antenna module found tucked away at the top of the watch.
We suspect that the more complicated look of this small assembly is due to the addition of a GPS antenna. It is a tiny component, but the difference is notable when compared to the first Apple Watch.
What does GPS capability mean? It means this watch is only one step away from being an independent instrument of Pokemon Go—just as soon as it grows up and gets a real data connection.
Enough gawking—it's time to get our tweezers on what's left of this wearable.
