Teardown Entertainment: iPhone Live Striptease

The gang at iFixit have succeeded in purchasing two 8 GByte iPhones (they’re obviously on the Right Coast, where it’s past 6PM….conversely I’m on the Left Coast, where it’s not even 4PM yet) and are disassembling one of them as I type this. Nuke some popcorn, pop the top on a cold one and join me here for the entertainment.

I love teardowns (here’s another relevant link), don’t you?

Followup: Looks like we (and a few thousand other crazed iPhone voyeurs) have swamped the server. See here for more, including the opportunity to sign up for a heads-up email once they complete the disassembly guide.

Followup II: Here’s a mirror.

Followup III: Anand’s also doing a dissection. Along with Think Secret.

Followup IV: The screen seems pretty durable.

Followup V: Take a crack (pun intended) at the firmware, folks!
