  • Nine Phillips screws bite the dust and the plastic antenna frame doesn't budge. But a secret tenth screw behind a liquid damage indicator grants access.

  • Under the plastic midframe, we get up-close and personal with that oversized slider mechanism.

  • The slider button moves a hefty metal plunger, which flips a mechanical switch soldered to the motherboard. The X-ray image provides an even better view.

  • Why the seemingly overwrought design? Is it something to do with ingress protection? Or maybe it gives the switch better tactile feedback? Share your best guesses in the comments.
