TL;DRAn 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.
