David Hanak Apple introduced the first generation iPhone (sometimes also called iPhone 2G) in early 2007, and the new product went on sale at the end of June of the same year. So this year marks the XNUMX-year anniversary since Apple changed the mobile world. As part of this anniversary, an interesting video appeared on the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel, in which the author looks under the hood of one of the original models. In the video below, you can see what this ten-year-old iPhone looks like inside.
The original goal was to replace the screen, but when the author started disassembling it, he decided to make a short demonstration out of it. In recent years, we have become accustomed to the fact that detailed reviews of new iPhones appear on the web just a few days after their release. American iFixit, for example, usually takes care of a similar joke. If you've seen some of their videos, you probably have an idea of what the inside of an iPhone looks like and how the whole deconstruction process goes. It is therefore very interesting to see how the process is different for a ten-year-old device.
The display was not yet as thoroughly glued to the touch layer as it is done now, there were also no adhesive tapes holding the battery in the phone (although in this case it is also "fixed"), just as there was no need for any special accessories without which you can't get around it with modern smartphones. There is not a single proprietary screw in the entire device. Everything is connected with the help of classic cross screws.
It's clear from the internal layout and components that this is not a contemporary piece of hardware. The inside of the machine plays with all the colors, whether it's gold flex cables and shielding, blue PCB motherboards or white connecting cables. The whole process is also pleasantly mechanical and cannot be compared with today's small electronics.

A classic - a well-made product, unfortunately today it can't even hide the camera lens - it would cost 30 cents more than X x million iPhones - that would be a waste
