iFixit breaks down an iPhone 3G

The wacky folks at iFixit are up to their destructive ways once more. They've gotten their hands on an iPhone 3G and they did what any normal geek would do: tore it apart and posted pics on the internet. The biggest news from the break down is that while the battery isn't user replaceable (as we have all known for a long time now) it isn't soldered on so replacing it will be a tiny bit easier for folks brave enough to attempt it.

This isn't the first time iFixit has gotten their hands on Apple gear and took it apart. Previous TUAW coverage here:

hats off to ipodjuice.com and ifix.com for going through all the effort to get all over the new iphone 3g. Great companies and working hard to get us pictures and information on these new apple products, even though they obviously get some kind of side benefit (attention) from it.

It's all about generating traffic to their sites. More traffic, more ad revenue.

Sorry, to clarify, from the dock cable two of the cables will get RCA jacks and extra cable and connect to the Aux-box. From the fuse-box or somewhere thereabouts you can find 12V power that will charge the iphone/ipod and this gets connected into the dock cable as well. Matt can help you sort it out.

Maybe someone should come up with a grammar checker. :)

"gotten their hands on Apple gear and took it apart."

"Taken it apart", thank you.

This is why the world is suffering. People are using blogs as a primary source of info, and yet the vast majority of blogs have no standard of quality when it comes to spelling or grammar.

I usually don't pick on this. I guess I'm irritable today. Or it's just happened one too many times.

Ah, yes, of course, world hunger, the cure for AIDS, and democracy for all would come about instantly if only blog authors had English Composition degrees and wrote Pulitzer Prize quality posts.

Thank you for pointing that out. I feel much safer knowing the Grammar Police are making blogs safe for all of us.

Nor is this the first time you've made that joke that went something like, "...and they did what any normal geek would do: tore it apart and posted pics on the internet"

What a coincidence - The first thing I did when I bought my lexus was take it to pieces, wish I'd had the bright idea of taking pics as I went..
