Step 2
Step 3
• An iPhone first: Intereestingly enouugh, the stoorage capaciity is not etcched on thee outer case of
the iPhone 4.
• We'd expecct our 32 GB B iPhone 4 to fulfill itss promise annd give us, w well, 32 GB
B.
Unfortunateely it has ann actual cappacity of 29..06 GB.
o Giv ven the fact that 301 MB B of "other"" data is beiing stored inn memory, this
t leaves thet
userr with 28.777 GB of freee space.
• In terms off OS, the iPhhone 4 comes preinstallled with thee newly releeased iOS 4, 4 build 8A2293.
• The iPhonee 4 is Modell A1332. Innterestingly, that's a low wer number than the A1 1337 iPad 3G.

Step 4
• Like the iPhhone 3G annd 3GS, therre are two silver Phillipps #00 screw
ws at the bo
ottom of thee
phone.
• In a departuure from thee design of the 3G and 3GS, removing the scrrews releasees the rear case,
c
not the fronnt glass.
• This designn makes swiitching out the
t rear pan nel trivial, but
b unfortunnately means that replaccing
the iPhone 4 front panel will likelly be rather challengingg.
Step 5
• Luckily, thee battery caan be easily removed on nce the backk panel asseembly is ouut of the wayy.
• The 3.7V 1420 mAh Li-Polymer
L b
battery allo
ows for up too 7 hours off talk time on
o 3G or upp to
14 hours onn 2G.
• The batteryy connector is different than the on ne in the 3G
G and 3GS. F Fortunatelyy, the batteryy is
not soldered to the loggic board. Thhis will mak ke battery reeplacementt on the iPhoone 4 fairly
easy to accoomplish.
• The plastic pull tab forr the batteryy says "Auth horized Servvice Providder Only."
Step 7
• No EMI shhield will staand betweenn us and thee innards off this iPhonee 4!
• The EMI shhield comess off after fiive screws are
a removedd to reveal lots of impo
ortant
connectors..
Step 8
• Hiding in thhe corner iss the iPhonee 4's vibrator motor, whhich...well...vibrates.
Step 10
Step 11
• Removing thet lower anntenna/speaaker enclosu ure from thee bottom off the phone.
• The improvved audio chhamber aidss in clarifyinng sounds leaving
l the iiPhone, inclluding callss via
speakerphoone as well as
a music plaayed throug gh the speakker inside thhis housing.
• Apple hasnn't made takiing the iPhoone 4 apart very hard so far: no 5-ppoint Torx bits
b or fragiile
clips to be seen.
s
Step 13
• Removing the
t logic booard.
• The unusuaal shape andd small size of the logicc board show
ws just how
w costly reall estate is innside
this powerhhouse of a phone.

Step 14
Step 15
Step 17
• On the backk:
o Sam msung K9PF FG08 flash memory
o Cirrrus Logic 33 38S0589 auudio codec (Apple
( brannded). This iis the same part as in thhe
iPadd.
