The prototype next-gen iPhone that landed at Gizmodo was disassembled before handing it back to Apple. The tearing apart revealed a closely packed interior, smaller components which has made it possible to be a thinner device than its predecessor while also making room for a much larger battery.
The findings of teardown by Gizmodo say that the main logic board of the prototype iPhone was about one-third the size of the board that controls the current-generation iPhone 3GS.
The prototype’s battery is 19% larger than the current available model and this has been achieved mainly by shrinking other components. Even though the prototype iPhone was thinner but weighs 3 grams more than the current generation iPhone; yes…that is because of larger battery.
Seems it was not easier though to disassemble the prototype iPhone with presence of 40-50 screws.
“Everything fits in here like an intricately-designed jigsaw puzzle,” the report said. “This is definitely laid out like a final product. To think that there’s more room left for any components for this case is unreasonable. Unless Apple decides now to go with a larger case so they can fit more things in there, this is the most that we’re going to see this summer.”
