Cracking open Apple's iPhone 3G

It took us about four hours to completely disassemble the iPhone 3G and shoot the photographs. Compared with the original iPhone, the iPhone 3G was much easier to take apart.

As always, we disassembled the iPhone 3G with the intention of reassembling it in working order. The device did indeed work when we put it back together.

However, the typical user should probably avoid cracking it open.
