OK, without wishing to gush about the device any more than is sick-makingly necessary, I have to admit the hardware design of the thing is seriously impressive. Just look at the size (or lack of size) of that logic board, which presumably is under the metal shielding unless it's hidden away elsewhere. The device is literally ALL battery and screen.

Great hardware design, Apple.

The main logic board is one very weird piece of this puzzle. Unlike the iPhone 3GS teardown, which revealed a large logic board along with another part down by the dock connector, this design only has something maybe 1/3 of the size, along with one or two extraneous parts. Basically, the guts have shrunk drastically.
