Thinner logic board made of resin-coated copper

According to DigiTimes, which is familiar with the supply chain situation, Apple Watch X will use a logic board that can be made thinner by coating copper foil with resin such as epoxy.

The logic board is thought to include a system-in-package (SiP) that will likely house the S10.

Should it be used for increasing battery capacity or making the main body thinner?

A thinner logic board will either increase the space inside the device or eliminate excess space.

If you maintain the same Apple Watch body thickness, you can increase the battery capacity or add a new sensor.

Also, if it is used to reduce the extra space, it will increase the possibility of reducing the thickness of the Apple Watch body, which is rumored to be a thinner body.

Possibility that the iPhone 17 series will also adopt this logic board

This newly structured logic board will be used in the Apple Watch X, and may also be used in the iPhone 17 series in 2025.
