You know the rigamarole by now -- product gets
introduced, product takes forever to ship, and at long last, product hits the
hands of a few lucky souls. And then, the fine folks over at
iFixit rip said product limb from limb in the name of science. This go 'round, they found twelve larger chips and a smorgasbord of other bantam components within Apple's first
Thunderbolt cable, and they didn't hesitate to suggest that the $50 asking price was at least
somewhat justified. A Grant's worth of dissection photos await you in the source.
