Step 1 — iPhone 4S Teardown第1步 - iPhone 4S 拆解
First of all: we'd like to thank our awesome iFixit user, Markus Weiher, for taking some of the photos from Germany!首先感谢iFixit资深用户Markus Weiher来自德国的照片。
You asked, we delivered! The new iPhone 4S steps up to the grandest stage of them all, and iFixit is here to expose it.你提出要求，我们来实现！新的iPhone 4S加快了通向极致华丽舞台的步伐，iFixit将这一切呈现给你！
The tech specs:技术细节：

Step 2
第2步
We finally have the much-anticipated iPhone 4S in our hands, and it sure is looking mighty fine!我们终于把期待已久的iPhone 4S拿在手上，它看上去棒极了！
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.沿用了去年的长方形设计，4S看上去与iPhone4很像，机身侧面也有相同的不锈钢边框。
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!Apple似乎认为他们解决了iPhone4上市后马上出现的天线问题，这是否意味着我们今年就不能得到一份免费的大礼了？简直太悲剧了。
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."SIM卡槽在背面！作为一部全球通用的手机，iPhone4S同时支持GSM和CDMA网络，不论你用哪个运营商，可以肯定micro-SIM卡槽都会接纳你的GSM卡，和CDMA“漫游的SIM卡”。（译者注：原文是roaming SIM，感谢wc5wlj纠错）
Step 3
第3步
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.iPhone4S的型号为A1387。
Notice the exterior antenna gaps around the perimeter of the iPhone 4S— Siri! You got some 'splaining to do!
Step 4
第4步
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.又是Pentalobe梅花形螺丝？我们曾希望有一些新的东西让我们望而却步，但看上去我们熟悉的老朋友并没有把他们的家从iPhone4S的底部搬得太远（译者注：是指iPhone4S还是使用了不常用的梅花形螺丝）
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.用我们五个角的梅花形螺丝刀快速转几圈卸掉螺丝，然后，我们今天刚拆封的专业级螺丝刀，看上去是伟大的蓝/黑色，这是能从市场上找到的最好的梅花形螺丝刀了！ 看上去我们并不像以前没干过这种事情。（这一段什么玩意儿。。。）
Sorry, Siri. Despite your self-destruction threat, we will not be deterred. Let's see what you're hiding.
抱歉Siri，我们决定不鸟你会自毁的恐吓，看看你究竟在隐瞒什么。
Step 5第5步
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.就像我们对待iPhone4一样，我们继续轻车熟路的移去后盖，看到电池和一堆乱七八糟的电磁干扰屏蔽保护层。
"I must implore you not to go any further, iFixit. You do not have proper authorization," Siri firmly asserts.“我必须提示你不要再进一步了iFixit，你没有获得许可。”Siri坚定地说。
Unfortunately, we have to stop here since the tag says "Authorized Service Provider Only."
Psych! That silly tag hasn't stopped us before, and today is no different.
去他娘的！这可恶的标签以前无法阻挡我们，今天也一样！
Step 6
第6步
We finally get our first good look at the 4S's highly-acclaimed battery.我们终于第一次看到了4S高度赞誉的电池。
Look closely... closer... there it is: an extra .05 WHrs in the battery over the iPhone 4!凑近点，再近点，就是它了：比iPhone4多0.05WHrs！
You probably want to know if you can use this battery in your iPhone 4. Sadly, it appears that the connectors are different shapes, so we'd have to say that it's not likely.你可能想知道这块电池能不能用在你的iPhone4上，悲催的是，插头形状不一样，所以我们只能说这看上去似乎并不可行。
The iPhone 4S boasts a continuous talk time of 8 hrs on 3G, up to 14 hrs on 2G (GSM network) and up to 200 hrs on standby.iPhone4S标称支持8小时3G通话时间，高达14小时的2G（GSM网络）通话和200小时的待机时间。
Comparing these times to those of the iPhone 4, the iPhone 4S offers an extra hour of talk time on the 3G network, the same amount of talk time on the 2G network, and 100 hours less standby time.相比于iPhone4，4S的3G网络通话时间要多出一小时，而2G的与之持平，待机时间缩水100小时。
Taking into account the upgrade in hardware that comes with the 4S, though, the power consumption seems rather efficient.考虑到硬件的升级，4S的耗电似乎更为高效。
Step 7
第7步
A quick flick with our spudger disconnects the rear-facing camera.用撬棒轻轻弹开后置摄像头。
The iPhone 4S turns up the heat with its new 8 megapixel camera.iPhone4S上八百万像素的摄像头简直炙手可热！
We learned from Chipworks that the camera is made by Sony!从Chipworks得知摄像头由Sony生产。
8 MP is great and all, but as we all know, it's not just about the tools; it's about how you use them. The iPhone 4S knows how to use every last one of those pixels.八百万像素伟大到了极致，但是并不仅仅与设备相关，还要卡你怎么用它，iPhone4S知道怎么榨取最后一颗像素的价值。
Apple boasts 73% more light with "next-generation backside illumination" for better low-light performance. Want pictures fast? This camera is roughly 33% faster and can snap multiple photos less than a second apart.Apple声称使用了“下一代背光”技术，是暗处性能提升了73%。想要更快拍照？这款摄像头大概快了33%，并且能在1秒中内连拍数张照片。
Still pictures not your thing? How about HD video at 1080p and 30 fps?拍照仍然不是你的菜？试试30fps的1080p高清影像吧。 （感谢木芙蓉指出别字）
Step 8
第8步
With the help of our iPhone opening tool, we pop out the logic board.在iPhone开腔工具的帮助下，我们撬开了主板。
The iPhone 4S logic board bears a close resemblance to its stateside CDMA counterpart. Once those EMI shields are off, though, we'll have a better idea of where the similarities stop.iPhone 4S电路板与本土的CDMA版本非常相似，但是揭开电磁干扰屏蔽保护层之后，事情开始变得不同了。
Until then, what else can we do with anL-shaped block?我们能用一个L型的方块做什么呢？
"Please halt all destructive activity" Siri responds upon hearing our intentions. Apparently she can still talk with her battery removed. Could she be running on pixie dust, perhaps?“请停下所有的破坏性行为”Siri听到我们的想法后回应。显然即使拔掉电池她仍然能说话，或许是被小仙子施了魔法的关系吧？（小仙子施法靠pixie dust运行，感谢icegeemoren指正）
Notice the white triangular sticker located on the right EMI shield? We did too... it's our dreaded enemy, the liquid indicator.
看到右侧EMI衬垫那里的白色三角形标签没？那简直是我们的噩——液体指示器。
Step 9
第9步
We had to use our teeth, but we finally managed to rip the EMI shields off. The logic board now bares its soul:我们派出了牙齿，终于撕下了EMI衬垫，主板呈现在我们面前：
Apple A5 Dual-core Processor (more on this later)红色 - Apple A5双核处理器（后面还有更多介绍）
Qualcomm RTR8605 Multi-band/mode RF Transceiver. Chipworks has provided us with a die photo.橙色 - 高通RTR8605双通道RF接收器，Chipworks向我们提供了一张芯片图。
Skyworks 77464-20 Load-Insensitive Power Amplifier (LIPA®) module developed for WCDMA applications黄色 - WCDMA专用Skyworks 77464-20负载不敏感功率放大器模块
Avago ACPM-7181 Power Amplifier绿色 - 安华高科ACPM-7181功率放大器
TriQuint TQM9M9030 surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter蓝色 - TriQuint TQM9M9030表面声波过滤器
TriQuint TQM66052 (possibly a PA-Duplexer Module)
紫色 - TriQuint TQM66052（可能是个双重功率放大模块）
Step10
第10步
More fun chips on the logic board include:电路板上还有很多好玩的芯片：
TI 343S0538 touchscreen controller红色 - TI 343S0538触摸屏控制器
STMicro AGD8 2135 LUSDI gyroscope橙色 - STMicro AGD8 2135 LUSDI 陀螺仪
STMicro 8134 33DH 00D35 three-axis accelerometer黄色 - STMicro 8134 33DH 00D35三轴加速度传感器
Apple 338S0987 B0FL1129 SGP, believed by Chipworks to be a Cirrus Logic audio codec chip
绿色 - Apple 338S0987 B0FL1129 SGP，Chipworks说是Cirrus Logic的音频解码芯片
Step 11第11步
How 'bout a close-up of that Apple A5 chip? 1 GHz Dual-core processor with 512 MB of DDR2 RAM... Yowza.近距离观察一下Apple A5芯片怎么样？1G双核处理器，512 DDR2内存，嗷嗷。
How do we know it's 512 MB? Check out the marking, specifically E4E4, denoting two 2 Gb LPDDR2 die—for a total of 4 Gb—or 512 MB. Thanks, Anandtech!我们怎么知道它是512M呢？仔细检查标记，明确地是E4E4，表示两个2Gb LPDDR2的模组——共计4Gb——也就是512MB。谢谢你Anandtech！
Oh hey, what's this? According to Chipworks, our German iPhone (marked in red) has Samsung DDR2 RAM, while the Aussie iPhone 4S (yellow) contains Elpida DDR2 RAM!嗨这是个啥？根据Chipworks的说法，我们手中的德国版iPhone（红色标记）用了三星的DDR2内存，而澳洲的iPhone 4S（黄色）却用了尔必达的！
If Siri has an address, this is it. Though iCloud integration can be used with any iOS 5 device, Siri only works with the dual-core-equipped iPhone 4S.如果Siri有地址的话，这儿就是了。虽然iCloud集成可以用于任何iOS5设备，但是Siri只能在装备了双核的iPhone4S上使用。
Come on out, Siri. We don't wanna hurt ya. We just wanna talk.出来吧Siri，我们不想伤害你，我们只是想谈谈。
Chipworks was cool enough to provide us with a die photo of the A5 processor.
Chipworks太酷了 ，还给我们提供了A5处理器的芯片版图。
Step 12第12步
Let's see what's on the other side.我们看看另一面有什么。Siri，转个身。。。谢谢。Siri, roll over... Thank you.
Step 13第13步
Murata SW SS1830010.Murata SW SS1830010.
Step 14第14步
We find the same 960 x 640 pixel Retina display that debuted in the iPhone 4 last year.
4S使用了与iPone4相同的960x640视网膜显示屏。
The hardware might not be new, but the iPhone's display is still impressive. Graphics performance is also likely to be improved with the A5 powering it.
虽然硬件没有更新，但是iPhone的显示效果让人印象深刻，性能方面也可能由于A5的加入而产生巨大飞跃。
We noted that the Verizon and AT&T iPhone 4's display assemblies had different mounting tab locations. While most of the 4S has resembled the CDMA iPhone 4, the display assembly appears to be the same as the one found in the GSM version.
我们注意到在Verizon和ATT版本的iPhone4上，显示屏卡扣的位置是不一样的，而4S与CDMA版本的iPhone4更为相像，显示屏也不例外。
What appears to be the ambient light sensor and status LED comes off the display assembly.
环境光线感应器和状态指示灯在显示屏上。
Step 15
第15步
Cryptic markings under the display cable read FA11 110717 4M0 816-0420 05 768 46 37.9 1032 GZ MB, or more commonly known as "Attack at dawn from the north."
一串神秘代码被写在显示排线下：FA11 110717 4M0 816-0420 05 768 46 37.9 1032 GZ MB。翻译成人类语言就是“攻击将在黎明从北方发起。”
Crikey! We've provoked the flex ribbon cable connectors! Stand back! They seem to be guarding the markings C1113320826DJGHT-A1MOXF... possibly the code for unlocking the pixie dust vault?
我们挑开了排线，它好像藏起了一串代码：C1113320826DJGHT-A1MOXF... 可能这就是打开藏有“精灵之尘”地窖的密码！（我擦要不要这么搞我完全得不到这个笑话的笑点诶）
Step 16
第16步
Out comes the vibrator motor. It appears that Apple elected to go with the linear oscillating vibrator that we found in the Verizon iPhone 4 as opposed to therotational electric motor with counterweight in the AT&T version.
振动器出现，看上去Apple选择了Verizon iPhone4上的线性振荡器而不是ATT版本的配重旋转电机。
This vibrator motor is quieter, softer, and all-around less annoying than its counter-weighted predecessor.
振荡器的点击更安静，轻柔，比他的前辈好多了。
Step 17第17步
A peek at the underside of the home button.
HOME键背面一瞥。
Legend has it that if you press the home button from this side, your iPhone will actually be sent to the moon (we refrained from testing this theory).
传说如果你从这一侧按下HOME键，你的iPhone会直接被发射到月球去（我们强忍住了亲身尝试这个传言的欲望）
Again, notice the white and red liquid indicator strips.
请注意白色和红色的透明指示条。
Step 18
第18步
Siri, please stop staring at us like that. Come on, you knew we had to see what was inside; we're curious, ya know?
Siri，请不要那样盯着我们，我们很好奇的，必须看看里面，好不？
To get Siri to stop staring, we recruit the help of ourplastic spudger to remove the second camera.
为了让Siri不再盯着我们看，我们在塑料挑线器的帮助下卸下了第二颗摄像头。（Siri好可怜啊）
The front-facing VGA camera is good for exactly two things:
前置VGA摄像头有两个用处：
Communicating via FaceTime
FaceTime通话
Taking self portraits a la Myspace FacebookGoogle+
往Myspace、Facebook、Google+上传自拍照
Step 19
第19步
We have reached the end of our journey. We are happy to announce that not a single trace of anyCyberdyne Systems components were found...it seems for the time being our judgment day is not upon us.
我们来到旅行终点，很高兴地宣布没有找到一个来自塞伯坦星系（变形金刚的老家）的任何零件，看来我们的审判日还没有到来。（译者注：请表示你被戳到笑点了）
iPhone 4S Repairability Score: 6 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair). Very little has changed from the iPhone 4 in terms of repairability.
iPhone4S可修理性得分：6/10（10分表示最容易修理），与iPhone4差别不大。
The iPhone 4S is still held together primarily with screws and limited adhesive.
iPhone4S仍然用螺丝和少量的粘合剂进行组装。
The rear panel and battery are both easy to remove and replace (provided you have the right kit and/or correct screwdriver).
后面板和电池很容易拆卸更换（只要你有合适的工具和正确的螺丝刀）
Apple is again using Pentalobe screws to secure the rear panel and keep people out
为了让用户不去动后面板，Apple还是使用了Pentalobe螺丝
The LCD and glass -- a carryover from the previous generation -- are fused together, making cracked glass repair more costly.
沿用了上一代设计的LCD和正面玻璃层是连在一起的，这让屏幕碎裂的修理费更加昂贵
Lots of smaller components are soldered to one ribbon cable, increasing the cost of repairing just one component.
很多小元件被焊在同一条排线上，增加了只维修一个元件的费用（译者注：当然最简单的是把坏的摔掉出门再买一个新的）
译者：国外的技术宅简直太蛋疼了，发个拆解报告还开这么多玩笑，译者水平实在有限一边看一边恨不得把自己吞掉 T_T 请不吝赐教！
