It took Apple Inc. more than six months to build the iPhone but curious gadget fanatics needed only minutes to tear one apart.

The information is more than just academic. Apple keeps a tight grip on information about parts suppliers so “tear downs” of its products are closely watched by investors keen to figure out how to place their bets.
