iPhone 3G S insides
The iPhone 3G S release date is finally here! Some people are excited to play with that video camera, while others want to wander around town navigated solely by that compass. A select few, however, have a higher calling; tearing their iPhone apart piece by piece.
The folks over at Rapid Repair were lucky enough to find a store in Paris that had a midnight release for the iPhone, meaning they got one yesterday at approximately 6 PM EST (well before most, as most stores opened at 7 AM). They could have spent some time playing with the new additions, but they decided to perform an immediate dissection and see what the 3G S is really made of.
So what did they find inside? Well the iPhone is powered by a Samsung S5PC100 CPU which features an ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz core. As far as pure speed, this is about a 50% improvement on the 412MHz processor from the 3G (though according to Rapid Repair this new processor is very advanced). As suspected, it also has 256 MB of RAM which is double the 128 MB found in the 3G.
It’s clear that Apple has beefed up the hardware inside the iPhone 3G S. These improvements have given it the speed improvements that they boasted about at WWDC and shown that the “S” at the end really is warranted.
