Just several hours after the most hyped gadget in history came on sale, eager fanboys have already begun tearing it apart. Pictures taken by iFixit reveals the iPhone’s intricate assembly; all the way from the case to the logic boards. The most notable feature is the larger than average 3.7-volt lithium-ion polymer battery.
The base contains the antenna ribbon sheet, which explains the black plastic covering the iPhone’s lower rear. Both the SIM card and headphone connectors sit behind the logic board on the rear panel. As of right now, the three main integrated circuits that have been identified on the logic board are the Skyworks GSM/EDGE amplifier, the 4/8GB Samsung flash memory chip and an ARM processor.
The overall impression is that the iPhone has been built with reliability in mind, which is a lesson Apple probably learned since the very first iPods.
