Fancy getting a look at the innards of the iPhone 4? Even the slight-geeks amongst us wouldn’t mind having a bit of a peer, right? Chipworks have done all the work for you in some detail — down to the silicon!
Here are the company’s key findings:
- The Apple A4 remains unchanged from the iPad
- TI has won the touch screen controller
- OmniVision is the suspected main image sensor – more analysis to follow
- STMicroelectronics scored two big inertial sensor wins for the accelerometer and gyroscope
- AKM has updated the magnetic sensor with a new device that promises better performance
- Broadcom continues to have success with Apple with its low power 802.11n with Bluetooth® solution
What does the iPhone main board look like? Here it is:
Amazing to think that this small piece of technology is probably light years better than my first 386 processor-based Amstrad.
