The Prototype iPhone Dissected, No User Removable Battery
It seems Gizmodo did spend time taking apart the leaked next generation iPhone while they had it in their possession. They've posted a tear-down but unfortunately little new information was discovered. One question answered, however, is the fact that there is not a user replaceable battery as some had speculated.
Other notes:
- Battery takes up 50% of iPhone
- Circuit board encased in metal, thermal paste, black tape.
- They were unable to delve further without damaging the device
- No details on processor, memory, etc...
- No user-removable battery.

I'm glad they didn't try and break into the thing further... It would be really bad if someone got a hold of this and started mass producing a knock off model!

I called bullhonkey on the user-removable battery from the get-go.
But that had me thinking that this was a hoax. Now the total reverse is true, but ends up that the main disqualifier wasn't there to begin with!

The final version may still have a user replaceable battery... It is possible.
Do it, Apple!
