Under the hood: FCC site shows pix of iPhone with back cover off

Since the period of confidentiality Apple has requested of the FCC for displaying images of the iPhone has now expired, this means that the FCC site can show all sorts of iPhone photos taken during the testing and documentation process for the device.Some of these photos are available within a PDF file posted on the FCC site here.

Since the period of confidentiality Apple has requested of the FCC for displaying images of the iPhone has now expired, this means that the FCC site can show all sorts of iPhone photos taken during the testing and documentation process for the device.

Some of these photos are available within a PDF file posted on the FCC site here.

But why go to the PDF when I've picked out the most interesting shots? Not only will I show you the Radio Board Shield and the WiF and GSM Radio I/O (above), but gettaloada these:

That's the Applications Processor Board (sounds like a university admissions body), and the SIM Connector.

That's the back covers removed, and the naked iPhone.

And that's the back side of the iPhone Radio Board, in all its connection-enabling glory.
