THE GUYS AT Semiconductor Insights went out and bought an Iphone and immediately started to take it apart.

It compares components in the Ipod and the Iphone, including Samsung NAND flash memory. The phone has three RF components including an Apple part and a CSR Bluetooth device.

The processor is a Samsung chip too. The IO controller is a Broadcom component. The touchscreen is made by a German company. "There's nothing revolutionary" about the insides of an Iphone, said SI. But that isn't the point.

The video is here.

The guys at Semi Insights also sent us a couple of pics that help to explain the video. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
