iPad 3G Teardown

iPad 3G Teardown

Step 1 -
The much awaited iPad 3G is finally in the hands of
iFixit!
The Wi-Fi + 3G iPad. We got a sneak peak of the
internals of this tablet a month ago by poking around on
the FCC's database.
The 3G iPad is visually distinguished from its Wi-Fi-only
sibling by a black plastic RF window.
The 3G iPad supports UMTS/HSDPA on 850, 1900,
and 2100 MHz and GSM/EDGE on 850, 900, 1800, and
1900 MHz.
In a dramatic shift for Apple, the iPad is unlocked, and
not tied down to a specific carrier.
Alas, in the US, AT&T is the only carrier that operates
3G on frequencies the iPad supports. T-Mobile should
work, but only on the slower EDGE network.
