Der neue iPod Touch wird in einer kleineren, transparenten Kunststoffbox geliefert.

Jemand fragte, ob wir ihn einschalten oder die neue Software ausprobieren sollten, bevor wir ihn auseinander nehmen. Aber wir sind einfach zu neugierig.

Auch in der Schachtel drin:

Kopfhörer

USB 2.0 Kabel

Dock Adapter (für das Apple Universal Dock)

Putztuch

Wie erwartet, wurde die Form aktualisiert, um zu den Kurven des iPhone 3G zu entsprechen.

Wir nehmen das Glas-Display und die Touchscreen-Einheit ab.

The bare LCD display.

Apple gives the size as 3.5 inches (diagonal) with a 480x320 pixel resolution at 163 pixels per inch.

There are no screws securing the LCD. Instead, it's held in place with a little double-sided tape.

Removing the metal backing.

The battery is held to the backing with two strips of light adhesive, but peels off easily.

Disconnecting the display data cable.

Note the residue from the glue holding the battery to the metal backing.

This is getting exciting!

Removing the battery.

The WiFi antenna and circuitry are at the bottom of the image, near the thumb.

The large orange cable connects the WiFi antenna (upper left) to the logic board.

At the top of the picture above the battery is a metal cover. Underneath the cover is a Broadcom BCM4325 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip. Yes, that's right, Bluetooth! Apple has said nothing of this publicly.

This particular bluetooth chipset supports BT2.1+EDR. No word yet on whether the one Apple included supports A2DP, which would enable stereo headphones.

Part numbers: BCM4325GKWBG CD0825 B76332 P40 SF

The other side of the wireless circuitry, battery, and logic board.

You can see the dock connector in the center and the headphone jack on the right.

The logic board.

We think the brown rectangle in the center is the speaker. It looks like the two wires in the orange ribbon cable on the right of it run to the new volume control dial.

The battery. 3.7 V Lithium-ion polymer, as expected. Apple part number 616-0404. No word yet on the mAh rating.

The logic board again, this time with (what we think is) the speaker removed.

The NAND flash memory is a Micron MLC chip: MT29F64G08TAAWP

The processor is an Apple-branded Samsung-manufactured ARM with SDRAM on the package, similar to the iPhone processor.

The end.
