Take a look at the computer powering your Apple Watch

The folks at ABI Research have given us a better look at the Apple Watch’s S1 computer-on-a-chip.

While it might be difficult to explicitly identify certain parts of the S1 due to Apple’s custom silicon design, it’s interesting to get a look inside the heart of the Apple Watch. According to ABI Research, the design of the S1 is, unsurprisingly, similar to the design of the systems of the iPhone and iPad:

“The design is an obvious variation from Apple’s smartphones, with many high-end functions / chips included that normally would not be found in a simple watch,” comments Jim Mielke, VP Engineering at ABI Research and head of the TeardownIQ group.

Unlike Apple’s custom A8 chip, which combines the CPU, GPU, and RAM onto a single die, the S1 packs in an entire computer system into a single, sealed package. These include the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC radios and the 8GB of on-board storage.
