Apple iPhone Dissected

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the better-them-than-you dept.

The good folks at AnandTech violated one of the first iPhones to still our curiosity about whats inside the aluminum shell. 'Please note that we're doing this so you are not tempted to on your recent $500/$600 expenditure, while it is quite possible to take apart using easy to find tools we'd recommend against it as it will undoubtedly void your warranty and will most likely mar up the beautiful gadget's exterior.'"

    You know, I have the feeling people who buy high-tech, flashy gadgetry such as the iPhone aren't likely to invest in it for the long term, with a value-for-money approach to buying and owning the product.

    You'll be surprised. Most Mac people I know are poor, unemployed, and step on toes around their machines. But they were so convinced they should absolutely must get Apple, they would stay away from pot for a month to afford one.

    They probably weren't poor until they blew all their cash on Apple kit. :)

    I got my first "Congratulations, you have won new iPhone" phishing message, complete with link (to http://203.121.78.200/...) to click on and give them all my personal contact info.

    This is indeed an opportunity for all kinds of modern enterpreneurs.

    So it takes a soldering iron to change the battery. That's not exactly making it a challenge for most people on Slashdot, right?

    In my experience there are way too many people who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a soldering iron.

    Put down the soldering iron and back away. That's right, back away from the soldering iron.
