We'll have to wait to see what's really inside the iPhone |

When I saw the "Exclusive: Inside the iPhone" tagline on the cover of the new Time magazine, I immediately thought, "yeah, right...bait and switch!" Although the Time article is a solid piece of reporting, as good a summary of Apple's much-hyped latest greatest as I've read, it reveals next to nothing about what's really inside the phone in terms of chipsets, MEMS, and the like.
For that insider info, I turned to my friend and colleague Dick James, reverse-engineering/process-analysis maven at Chipworks.
"We’ll almost certainly do a teardown when we can get one," Dick told me via email, "but buried amongst all the hype was the fact that they won’t actually be available until June/July, through Cingular in the U.S. At $500-–$600 a pop, we’ll see how many media nerds want to fork out that sort of money!"
Based on Chipworks' analysis of the PSP3 a little while back, I can't wait to see what Dick and his team find inside once they tear apart one of those iBeauties.
