Stripping Open an IPhone
August 01, 2007

I see this picture from ifixit.com. The whole chipset configuration contains a Skyworks GSM/Edge Power amplifier (SKY77340), ARM 339S0030 (most likely a processer) and Samsung flash memory chip. Yes, that is the stripped down version of the IPhone. Within 24 hours, the eyes of the entire US are focussed on the IPhone. Immediately during this time, sites like ifixit and ThinkSecret have immediately stripped open a US$499 gadget to discover the contents inside. Just an update: I heard a rumour from TechCrunch that there will be an announcement that the IPhone for Europe and perhaps Asia, may not be the GSM, but a 3G version instead.
