Apple’s iPod Touch is basically an iPhone, except with double the memory and no phone module, right? Wrong.
Analyst iSuppli has been pulling the iPod Touch to bits, and has discovered that while the two devices share 90% of the same components, there are other design differences between them. For example, the iPod Touch uses space-saving components in its wireless LAN module that aren’t in the iPhone.
Meanwhile, the iPod Touch uses a single printed circuit board design, rather than the two-PCB design used for the iPhone. iSuppli also estimates that Apple charges roughly double for a Touch than the cost of its constituent parts.
