Our friends at TechRepublic provide step-by-step instructions for disassembling an iPhone and, importantly, putting in back together again. I don't recommend you try this at home with your precious iPhone, but the photo gallery is worth a look as we head into the July 4th holiday in the U.S.

As a bonus, I have uncovered that the aesthetically prone Steve Jobs may have based the interior of the iPhone on Marcel Duchamp's famous 1912 painting, " Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2."

There is also an association, perhaps subliminal, with Jobs' favorite recording artist, Bob Dylan. The cover art for Dylan's 1978 recording, "Street Legal," shows Dylan descending a staircase, but not in the nude as in the case of Duchamp's work and the iPhone interior.
