Although the iPhone 3G S hasn't even been out for 24 hours yet, it has already been disassembled and inspected, or should I say violated? Orange Botique in Paris, France released the iPhone 3G S at midnight local time. Converting to Eastern Standard Time means that the iPhone 3G S was released at 6PM EST on June 18th, or 13 hours before any customer in the United States could purchase one. RapidRepair purchased a 16GB black iPhone 3G S at midnight in Paris and then promptly proceeded to disassemble it, not quite what one would expect a new iPhone 3G S owner to do. RapidRepair has posted a full guide, with pictures, of the steps taken to disassemble the iPhone. The phone was taken apart all the way down to its individual components. RapidRepair also posted a comparison chart that compare the iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3G S, and Palm Pre.
