  • After completely dissecting the logic board, we turn our attention back to the rear case.

  • Not even a healthy heap of adhesive can stand up to our mighty spudger!

  • The Lightning connector assembly, which includes the headphone jack, loudspeaker, and lower microphone, comes out next.

  • It appears that the Wi-Fi antenna is also embedded into the assembly. The iPhone 5 now includes support for 2.4 GHz and 5 Ghz.

  • Antennas are sized to be fractions of full wavelengths, so the 1.23" of a quarter 2.4 GHz wave is close enough to the 1.18" of a half 5 GHz wave that a single antenna can serve both frequencies.
