Man takes apart iPhone 3G S, reveals underclocked CPU
Some people just have to see how things work. And thanks to one iPhone fan we all get to see what's inside Apple's latest smartphone offering.


How far would you go to show you really care about your Apple iPhone 3G S?



One Californian has demonstrated his love of the latest flagship handset by flying 5,400 miles across the Atlantic and queueing overnight outside the London store to be the one of the first to get the new phone. He then promptly ripped it to pieces to show the world what Apple's new phone is really made of.



The man in question was Kyle Wiens, CEO of ifixit.com, a company that specialises in repairing broken gadgets. He wanted to be among the first around the world to dissassemble the new iPhone and after witing in line overnight, he did just that.



Wien's so-called teardown has revealed a Samsung CPU that's running at just 72 per cent of its capacity, a move that's more than likely a bid to save battery life.
