]]> <![CDATA[Apple iPhone Dismantled]]> So wait, with all that extra space in the bottom of the phone, Apple couldn't add some kind of removable battery slot?

]]> <![CDATA[Apple iPhone Dismantled]]> @Jitty: The Wikipedia entry says there will be a fee charged to get the battery replaced. I don't know how much it will be.

]]> <![CDATA[Apple iPhone Dismantled]]> -Wow
-I'm beginning to think apple doesn't want you to replace the iphone's battery but instead to buy an iphone 2G when or before your first gen iphone's battery craps out...
-Samsung is going to be making a lot of money off this.
-Wonder if SONY puts their chips in any major products of any other company...

No, EDGE is NOT technically 2.5G. It IS technically 3G. It is 2.5G only in practice.

That's probably "lead-free"...

]]> <![CDATA[Apple iPhone Dismantled]]> Holy crap. A 3G sim in that thing? Hmmmm. Also: They tried another service provider, but I wonder if a current ATT/Cingular sim works in that puppy.

@scoobydoo:

You know what a 3G chipset looks like? Are you sure it doesn't have the capability?

Also: Anyone know what "PB Free" means on this shot?: [thinksecret.com]

]]> <![CDATA[Apple iPhone Dismantled]]> Nice to see that the battery is easily replaceable. . .what with the solder and all.

I don't get why every other manufacturer has this figured out, but Apple insists on making it really really difficult.

]]> <![CDATA[Apple iPhone Dismantled]]> I'm surprised someone hasn't gone in the line to go, smash my iPhone dot com! Then, they would smash one and fanboys would get pissed.

It looks like any old phone when it's apart. I thought there would be some magical piece of equipment like Mark 200 imagined. Too bad.

]]> <![CDATA[Apple iPhone Dismantled]]> I was disappointed when I saw the insides of this thing is just regular old circuit board . I seriously thought it would be filled with puppies and magic. God, I'm dumb.

]]> <![CDATA[Apple iPhone Dismantled]]> So, am I to assume that either nobody else had any news worthy gadget stuff going on today? Or did apple just buy Gizmodo and not tell anybody. I know I sound like King Herod, but unless you are wanting to sell your soul to Jobs, or wish you could afford to sell your soul, this makes for boring reading.

]]> <![CDATA[Apple iPhone Dismantled]]> @sg11: Hmmm what? All AT&T (and previously Cingular) sim cards said "3G" on them. It just means they are the newest generation sim. The sim doesn't make it 3G, the phone does, and since the dismantle clearly showed an EDGE chipset and not a hidden 3G one we now finally know that it is NOT 3G, and that it won't be enabled through software either.
