iFixit Rips the New Apple TV to Shreds - 30 Pin Dock Connector?
Without breaking a sweat, iFixit has revealed all the internals of the 2nd gen Apple TV to the world. Ranking an 8 out of 10 on their fixability scale, you shouldn’t have much problem taking it apart yourself. Though we thought there wasn’t a single byte of storage in the new set top box, we were forced to think again when the site found 8 GB of Samsung K9LCG08U1M NAND Flash inside. iFixit calls this “remarkable for a $99 device.” The A4 processor is the exact same as the one in the iPhone 4, iPad, and new iPod Touch. Model number A1378 has precisely 256 MB of RAM, also found in the iPad. And lastly, the most interesting discovery was a hidden 30 pin dock connector port. Hackers, nudge nudge.
