Super-early iPhone prototype had 5″x7″ screen, serial port

  This doesn't appear to be Apple-designed at all, especially with the armkorea.com marks all over the LCD and breakout boards. It looks a lot like an off-the-shelf Samsung ARM11 development board. I'd say the iPhone engineers were using this for their first ports of OSX to ARM.

    Yes. This one: http://www.littlechips.com/sbc_main.htm http://www.littlechips.com/sbc_main.htm (ARM9, apparently)

  Of course they have serial ports… that's how you'd debug it.

  I'm pretty sure the production iPhone has a serial port as well. USB!
