Thanks to the wonders of the international dateline, the 3G iPhone came out in New Zealand today. The guys from iFixit got their grubby little hands on one and took it apart.
Once they popped the thing open they saw that Apple combined the logic and communication boards, making more room for the battery. They also [...]

I just came back from the Softbank flagship store in “Tokyo’s Fifth Avenue”, Omotesandou street. Softbank is the exclusive carrier of the 3G iPhone, which will be available extra-early in this particular store on July 11th, 7 am (July 10th, 6pm EST).

BGR’s iP3G hasn’t been activated, so there’s really nothing to see here other than a comparison between the gen 1 iPhone and it’s predecessor. It’s definitely slimmer and curvier, though.

The three heavy-hitters have already reviewed the iPhone and were all, unsurprisingly, pleasantly surprised. Baig likes GPS and the 2.0 update. He couldn’t get 3G everywhere, which is a huge issue for some users.
