The iPhone 4G prototype which Gizmodo spent $5,000 to obtain, in order to fulfill the curiosity of everyone, has now been dissected to let you know more about the details of this next generation of iPhone.
The dissected iPhone 4G reveals a much smaller mainboard (pictured above), while compared to the iPhone 3GS – the main board is about 1/3 of the iPhone 3GS. The reason why the iPhone 4G needs to have a much smaller main board is it needs to accommodate the 16% larger battery.
As shown in the picture above, the iPhone 4G packs a battery rated at 5.25 Watt hours and 3.7 Volts, which translates to a capacity of 1420 mAh, smaller than most Nokia phones have (1500 mAh). But this battery already takes up 50% of the size of the phone.
The mother board also has no label and it’s encased in metal as Apple wants to keep it secret. Gizmodo couldn’t find any more details such as whether it’s powered by the A4 processor, unless they break it by force which would lead the device to an irreparable stage. The picture below shows all the pieces placed next to each other. Can you identify which “piece” is the main board? Compare the shape with the first picture above, it’s the black strip with tape on it. Find out more on Gizmodo.
