DISASSEMBLED: The iPhone 3G S
Over the last two weeks, the world wide web has been buzzing about Apple’s latest iteration of its iPhone, the iPhone 3G S.
Set to launch on June 19, we Europeans have time difference on our side when it comes to launches and our good friends at Rapid Repair decided to hit up an Orange France boutique that was scheduled to open at midnight. Once they’d secured the phone, they promptly tore the thing asunder to see what exactly Apple had put in there. Don’t worry, we’re sure the phone is fine. Being the CEO of an iPod repair company (not to mention supplying parts for PlayStations, Xboxes and Nintendos), the man at the helm of the operation, Aaron Vronko, is probably pretty handy with a screwdriver.
The aim of the game is to find out what’s different about the iPhone 3G S. Those of you who have been following news on the device know that most of the changes are on the insides and the outside looks pretty much exactly the same. We'll be talking to Aaron on Monday to find out what he found and how it differed to the iPhone 3G.
Until then, check out the pictures below and let us know if you'd be tempted to try this at home!
This isn't the entire gallery but if you want to see more, as well as read the step by step guide, head over to Rapid Repair and check out their iPhone 3G S Repair Guide.

Proof stupidity isn't just an American trait.
Just my opinion. =]
Name the movie for a one up
Short Circuit
HA! Awesome! Totally forgot about that movie! I'll give it a one up too
Proof stupidity isn't just an American trait.
What country is this?
Please, TH?!
Most likely anything in the 3rd world.
I went to Argentina a couple of months ago and they were asking for $500 dollars (once converted) for a PS2....that's a 2, not a 3. I told my cousins that I can get it for them for $100 in Canada and they couldn't believe it.
Keep in mind, these people don't make the same money we do, they make less so its even more expensive when you consider everything.
