iPhone 3G vs 3GS Parts

I was recently fixing an iPhone and the new LCD connector just wouldn’t pop on. Initially I thought I was shipped the wrong part but did not discover until I found the following image that it was the correct part and the person who’s iPhone I was fixing had actually given me the wrong model when I asked them which it was.

Unfortunately I could not find a higher resolution photo of this. So after clicking the image use Ctrl+ and Ctrl- to zoom in/out and get a better look at the differences.

Kill the iPhone’s Annoying AutoPlay Pop-up

There’s one major pain in the keister every iPhone or iPod Touch owner has to put up with on a daily basis. You plug in your phone simply to top up the battery and you have to deal with the annoying AutoPlay pop-up Windows insists on displaying. Try as I might, I cannot find an option to “Do Nothing” and am forced to click the big X at the top right, which does not jive so well with the “Always do this for this device” option. Disabling this feature is quite simple to do, if you know where to look.
