As if those unboxing photos currently floating around the internet weren’t enough, iFixit has decided to go one step further. Like a lot of other Apple products, they have step-by-step instructions on dismantling both the iPod Nano and iPod Classic. The markings on the chips haven’t been identified yet, but its clear there is an ARM processor, audio decoder, video decoder, some RAM and NAND flash for the iPod Nano.
It’s interesting to note that while the new iPod Nano is thinner and wider (a fat midget?), the surface area is roughly the same as both its predecessors. The 80GB iPod Classic is surprisingly thinner than the older 30GB iPod Video, mostly thanks to the tiny 80GB hard drive from Toshiba. All screen-based iPods now feature a reflective metallic backplate, an issue that has drawn criticism because of its “scratchability”.
