  • We're ready to start pulling things apart, but we'll restrain ourselves just long enough for an X-ray scan. Our ingenious pals at Creative Electron show us what we're up against this round.

  • Do our X-ray eyes deceive us, or does this look a lot like an iPhone? Well, except for that snappy removable battery, of course.

  • Small metal backing in the center of the phone, logicmotherboard stage right, battery at center left—could it be phone Feng Shui?

  • An X-ray lineup confirms the G5 almost perfectly splits the difference between the iPhone 6 (left) and 6 Plus (right).

  • Looks like that end-cap module is more than just a battery holder and USB. Time to pop that sucker open.
