The disassembly examines Apple's hardware design in detail, reveals their choice in component manufacturers, and clearly shows their elegant industrial design. Some information our disassembly revealed:

* Apple made the display more easily removable than the iPhone, and attached it with Phillips screws instead of strong adhesive. This will significantly enhance the maintainability of the iPod Touch by reducing the cost of LCD repairs.

* The new iPod's battery is 81% of the volume of the iPhone.

* The iPod Touch has a Wolfson audio chip.

* The multi-touch display uses glass, just like the iPhone.

iFixit plans to sell parts for the iPod Touch, just as we sell parts for iPods, iPhones, and Apple portables. This first look at Apple's new iPod continues our commitment to enable anyone to disassemble and repair their mobile devices.
