iPhone 4 Stripped!

iFixit managed to get their hand onto an iPhone 4 and post a thorough tear-down of the phone.

Here are some stuff they found:

• The rugged stainless steel bezels around the iPhone 4's perimeter double as both structural supports and antennas to boost reception.


• Actual capacity of 29.06 GB. Given the fact that 301 MB of "other" data is being stored in memory, this leaves the user with 28.77 GB of free space.


• iPhone 4 comes preinstalled with the newly released iOS 4, build 8A293


• The iPhone 4 is Model A1332. Interestingly, that's a lower number than the A1337 iPad 3G.


• Unlike the iPhone 3GS and iPad, who are both equipped with 256 MB, the iPhone 4 has a whopping 512 MB!


• 3.7V 1420 mAh Li-Polymer battery


• Front-facing VGA camera, Rear-facing 5 MP camera with 720p video at 30 FPS, tap to focus feature, and LED flash.


• Apple has integrated the UMTS, GSM, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth antennas into the stainless steel inner frame.


• iPhone 4 uses the 1 GHz ARM Cortex A8 core, much like its bigger sibling, the iPad.


• Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS are all provided by Broadcom.


• Second microphone, which is used to cut out ambient noise and improve sound quality when talking on the phone.


• The front glass panel of the iPhone is constructed of Corning Gorilla Glass, a chemically strengthened alkali-aluminosilicate thin sheet glass that is reported to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic.


• Gorilla Glass holds many advantages as the iPhone 4's front panel including its high resistance to wear and increased strength from an ion-exchange chemical strengthening process.
