First Look at Latest Apple iPhone's Core: Rapid Repair to Give 3G S Fans
Insight - Literally - Into Speedy New Device

iPhone 3G S Inner Workings Will Be Revealed Online for Do-It-Yourselfers,
Thanks to Rapid Repair Technicians

KALAMAZOO, Mich., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Rapid Repair, the most well-known
and reputable national online repair service for consumer electronics,
announced today that it will give iPhone fans a first peak at the technology
inside Apple Inc's recently revised smartphone with a launch-day iPhone 3G S
disassembly on Friday, June 19. Images of the disassembly process will be
posted to the company's website at www.RapidRepair.com as it unfolds, shortly
after Apple stores open for the 3G S launch.

Rapid Repair technicians will expose and examine the guts of Apple's latest
iPhone to date, to analyze its performance capabilities and see how it stacks
up against other comparable devices, most notably the Palm Pre - its biggest
competitor just released a few weeks back. Rapid Repair will use the knowledge
gleaned from the disassembly to create an iPhone 3G S Repair Guide for
do-it-yourselfers who opt to make repairs on their own.

"The smartphone market is very competitive right now, and the demand for this
latest iPhone is bound to be high," said Aaron Vronko, service manager at
Rapid Repair. "With more users, comes more need for repairs. We're happy to be
able to facilitate that for customers."

The 3G S is Apple's fastest, most powerful iPhone yet, containing
re-configured internal components to deliver a speed increase of 2.1 times in
launching applications. Viewing attachments is almost 4 times as fast, and
even graphically intense applications benefit from a performance boost of
almost 3 times. Rapid Repair technicians will inventory the iPhone 3G S' new
internal components, and offer commentary on the layout of the internal
technology to provide guidance on the ease of do-it-yourself repairs. These
insights are much anticipated, since it has been highly speculated that the
device's new "speed" is the result of an upgrade to a nearly 50% faster 600
MHz Samsung System-on-a-Chip processor based on the ARM Cortex-A8 core and the
much improved GPU in Imagination's new PowerVR GSX.

In addition to doubling the system memory and a few other adjustments, the new
iPhone is expected to match the recently released Palm Pre in hardware. Rapid
Repair will focus on putting this speculation to rest with definitive answers
and a comparison of hardware in prior iPhones and the current crop of
smartphone competitors.

Images and commentary on the iPhone 3G S disassembly will be posted as soon as
they are available at
http://www.rapidrepair.com/guides/iphone-3g-s-repair/iphone-3g-s-dissasembly-repair-guide.html
and the do-it-yourself iPhone repair guide will be posted within a week.
