SAN JOSE, Calif.--You could call the new Apple iPhone 4 an iPad Nano because it uses at least seven chips from the popular Apple tablet, according to analysts from UBM TechInsights that have done a teardown of the new smartphone. STMicroelectronics won a coveted design win for its MEMS gyro in the handset.
The teardown specialist is preparing a full report on the iPhone 4. UBM TechInsights is a division of United Business Media, the publisher of EE Times.
Like the iPad, iPhone 4 uses Apple's A4 as its applications processor. However it uses a version with twice the memory—512 Mbytes of Samsung Mobile DDR SDRAM. Specifically the part uses the Samsung K4X4G643GB, a package-on-package stack of two 2 Gbit die.
