First iPhone disassembly

MacNN has obtained disassembly photos of Apple's iPhone in an effort to better learn about the manufacturing process that Apple engineers settled on for the cellular handset. The photos were provided by iFixIt, which sells parts for most Apple products. MacNN obtained an iPhone just after the device launched earlier today, and has posted photos of the device as it was unpacked from the original packaging and turned on to await activation.

Think Secret

I actually liked the Think Secret's tear down better because, although it isn't as pretty, they were willing to really tear the thing apart. For instance, ripping the touch screen apart. The one shown here can go back together, not so for the one at Think Secret.
