A Big Surprise From the Apple Inc. iPhone 8 Teardown

Shortly after Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone 8 went up for sale, iFixit got hold of one, tore it down, and, with some help from the chip experts at TechInsights, managed to identify many of the key chips inside it and publish its findings.

As is the case with each new generation of iPhones, there's a lot of cool stuff inside the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. Perhaps the most surprising revelation from the tear-down, though -- at least to this Fool -- was Apple's selection of a cellular modem in the versions of the phones destined for networks that require support for the CDMA standard.
