The guys from iFixit, tear down the new iPhone 3G S and filmed with another iPhone 3G S the quality of the video is very good and the frame rate runs smoothly. Externally, the new iPhone is differentiated only by its new model number — A1303 — and the lettering on the back cover, which is now shiny like the Apple logo. Similarly, the internal physical design is also virtually identical to the iPhone 3G, with iFixit reportedly “struggling to differentiate the two.”
Architecturally, nearly all of the handset’s components have reportedly been relocated to the front side of the main logic board, including the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Flash memory chips. The battery is identified as a 4.51 Watt-hours, or 1219 mAh, which is about 6% larger than the iPhone 3G’s battery. Also discovered was an additional antenna connection near the dock connector, though its function remains unclear.

The iPhone Flower Garden App looks absolutely fantastic. The concept is very simple simple : plant seeds in a pot, water them, and watch them grow into flowers, all done with a wonderful UI (user interface) and eye candy animation. You unlock new types of flowers as you go along, some of which will grow immediately, and others that take days of tending and watering. When you have flowers in bloom, you can cut various flowers from different types and combine them to make a beautiful bouquet that you can send via email to that special someone. Future improvements and functions for the iPhone Flower Garden app, may go beyond the “grow/cut/send” concept of the current version. Eventually, the developer will be adding in the ability to cross polinate between other Flower Garden users to create completely new breeds of flowers. In other words, the first online flower growing game!? The developer mentioned the future ability to actually grow flowers into messages for the recipient. So a user could create a flower seed with a message that you can send to someone. As they tend to the seeds, they will grow into a flowery message for that person. The iPhone Garden App is available for iPhone and iPod Touch
