Step 1 — iPhone 4S Teardown

First of all: we'd like to thank our awesome iFixit user, Markus Weiher, for taking some of the photos from Germany!

You asked, we delivered! The new iPhone 4S steps up to the grandest stage of them all, and iFixit is here to expose it.

The tech specs:

Apple's A5 System-on-a-Chip: 1 GHz Dual-Core Processor

8 MP Rear-Facing (1080p Video Capture) + VGA Front-Facing Cameras
802.11 b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0 (oo-la-la!)

LED Backlit IPS TFT LCD Retina Display with a resolution of 960 x 640 pixels
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE + Dual-band CDMA/EV-DO Rev support (World phone)
Edit Step 2
We finally have the much-anticipated iPhone 4S in our hands, and it sure is looking mighty fine!

Sticking with last year's rectangular design, the 4S looks very much like the iPhone 4 and sports the same stainless steel bezels around its perimeter.

Apple has supposedly fixed the antenna issue that emerged immediately following the release of the iPhone 4. Does this mean we won't be receiving a free case this year? Bummer!

The SIM slot is back! Since the iPhone 4S is a world phone, it will support both GSM and CDMA networks. Regardless of your carrier, you can be sure that the micro-SIM slot will be there to accept your GSM micro-SIM cards, as well as any CDMA "roaming SIM."

Edit Step 3

Oh look! The 4S got the FCC stamp of approval. Bravo, Apple. But no gold stars from us yet...

The iPhone 4S's model number is A1387.

Notice the exterior antenna gaps around the perimeter of the iPhone 4S— Siri! You got some 'splaining to do!

Edit Step 4

Pentalobe Screws, again? We were somewhat hoping there would be something new to keep us out this year, but it seems like our familiar friends have not moved far from their home at the bottom of the iPhone 4S.

A couple quick turns with our 5-Point Pentalobe Screwdriver and out they come! And guess what: our all-new pro driver was just released today. It comes in a great blue/black color, and it's guaranteed to be the best Pentalobe driver on the market. Hey, it's not like we haven't done this before.

Sorry, Siri. Despite your self-destruction threat, we will not be deterred. Let's see what you're hiding.

Edit Step 5

We continue to tread largely familiar waters as we remove the back cover, the same way we did with the iPhone 4, and reveal the battery along with a mess of padded EMI shields.
