Teardowns I've Worked On

Notes

  • iPad 3G Teardown

    Quote from Holland Rhodes:

    The pin-out for a SIM and micro SIM are the same. You could cut down a full size SIM to fit and it would work.

    Yup pin-out, clock-speed, etc., are the same; I don't think there's been a SIM whose chip was larger than the contact area for over a decade, so be gentle with a sander, sand the @*%^*^! down, and voila.

  • iPod nano 5th Generation Teardown
