Check out the latest teardown analysis of the iPad 3G from iFixit:

  • The 3G iPad is visually distinguished from its Wi-Fi-only sibling by a black plastic RF window.
  • the iPad is unlocked, and not tied down to a specific carrier.
  • Due to the addition of 3G connectivity, there’s an extra antenna cable that must be disconnected before the two halves are free.
  • Some major differences include the 3G chip, SIM card board, and the plastic antenna cover at the top of the case.
  • New to the 3G iPad, there’s an antenna attached to the backside of the display assembly. The copper foil piece seen in the picture connects to the silver metal LCD frame. Apple has cleverly used this same piece of metal for both structural and electrical purposes.

The 3G iPad cost $130 more than the Wi-Fi-only version. The latest teardown of the 3G model performed by iSuppli, shows that the additional parts required for 3G connectivity cost an estimated $24.50.
