The guys at iFixit have done it again. In their laboratories they already have an iPhone 5 unit and the first thing they have done with it is disassemble it to reveal the secrets that are inside.
The first good news we see is that replacing the screen due to breakage will be much easier. You just have to remove the screws at the bottom and use a suction cup to remove the display. This could also be done with the iPhone 3G / 3GS but with the 4 / 4S you had to completely disassemble the terminal, with the risk of breaking something during the process.
It is confirmed that iPhone 5 has 1GB of RAM Elpida LP DDR2 SDRAM. The chipset in charge of LTE connectivity is the Qualcom MDM9615M and the battery is 3,8V with a capacity of 1440mAh.
The Home button appears to have been reinforced to prevent it from malfunctioning over time, and the vibration system now makes use of a counterbalanced rotational motor.

I have a 3G, pass from 4 and now I will buy a 5. Changing the screen was not complicated once put to it, with a little soup like here. I had to do it several times unfortunately. I also had to change the battery, this is more cumbersome since I had to disassemble ALL the terminal, screw by screw, flex by flex, until I found it at the bottom of everything. I see that that has changed in the iPhone 5 (I do not know the 4) and this is much easier, since as soon as you lift the TouchScreen you have the battery there.
When are you going to upload the video of the iPhone 5 review?
