TL;DR
- An iFixit teardown revealed that the Oura Ring 5 is completely unrepairable.
- It also revealed that it uses an ARM processor with 384KB of RAM, and a 10.5mAh battery.
The Oura Ring 5 launched last month, and it’s really good at doing its job while looking great. However, it is also “unrepairable,” just like the Galaxy Ring and other Oura smart rings.
iFixit conducted a teardown of the new Oura Ring 5, and it’s all bad news. Unlike older Oura Rings, the new Ring 5 has both its outer and inner casings made out of titanium. The company has also used a lot of epoxy resin to glue the two together. As a result, the folks over at iFixit were unable to open the ring using the usual process of heating the glue and scraping it off.
