iFixit Hopes to Break iPhone 3G First

Business must be pretty good at iFixit. The California-based Mac and iPod parts and upgrades site is sending tweeters and technicians to New Zealand to be the first people in the world to disassemble an iPhone 3G. iFixit reps plan to liveblog the disassembly of an iPhone 3G immediately after its worldwide debut at 12:01 AM NZST, July 11 (5:01 AM PST, July 10) and post live images and descriptions of the disassembly as it unfolds.

“Our technicians will also be analyzing the internals and posting component descriptions and design analysis,” said Kyle Wiens, CEO of iFixit, in a press release issued by the company yesterday. “We’ll be posting internal photos as fast as we can take them.”
