iPhone 3G S Launch Lines and Disassembly Photos
From Salt Lake City, UT (Thanks Ben)
We're not sure if the iPhone 3G S launch will require long waits in line like previous years. The fact that customers have been able to pre-order the new iPhone will certainly dampen the turnout in the morning. Still that's not stopping some (photo). One analyst predicts Apple will sell about 500,000 units this time around, about one half of the number sold on the launch of the iPhone 3G. Still, that number is twice as much as the sales numbers for the original iPhone's launch weekend.
One French company has already obtained an iPhone 3G S and done a disassembly on the device:

The iPhone is a nice upgrade, but not essential IMHO, unless your old one is giving out on you. But many people will likely get one. The larger memory, longer battery life, and faster processor are just a few of the new features that will be enticing many to buy one.
It is a welcome upgrade.

Looks exactly like the 3G insides
Except for the actual chips used. But, yes, they both have wires, circuit boards, screws and a battery inside.

Looks like most sites are reporting shorter lines. A lot of people probably ordered online.
Maybe it is time for Apple to look at ways of bringing in more iPhone customers over the next year, through pricing or other models.

The only way Apple is going to bring in new customers is to have it on more than one carrier. Sooner or later the pool of available switchers to AT&T will not be there. This is not only true in the US, but around the world. The exclusivity deals have to end.
