For this week’s giveaway, we’ve teamed up with GRID Studio to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win a 256GB 10.9-inch iPad with WiFi and cellular connectivity. GRID Studio is a company that creates framed wall art by recycling Apple products.
GRID Studio buys old iPhones, taking them apart and arranging each component carefully under glass to turn a hodgepodge of parts into something new. Each piece of the iPhone is labeled, with interesting device details and facts about Apple’s history added in for art that’s sure to appeal to Apple enthusiasts.
This week, GRID Studio is having a spring sale, and the GRID 4S is available for just $99, down from $170. It’s a good price on a pivotal part of Apple’s past, featuring all of the components from the 2011 iPhone 4S.
The iPhone 4S was the last iPhone introduced during Apple co-founder Steve Jobs’ lifetime, and it was the first iPhone Apple CEO Tim Cook released without Jobs. It was the fifth iPhone that Apple came out with, and in the name, the “S” stood for Siri. The iPhone 4S was the first iPhone that included Apple’s personal assistant.
Compared to the iPhone 4, the iPhone 4S included an upgraded A5 chip, an 8-megapixel camera, and up to 64GB RAM. It ran iOS 5, a major operating system update that brought features like iCloud and iMessage. All of the internal components from the iPhone 4S are thoughtfully arranged in GRID Studio’s piece, and there’s even a look at the default app arrangement that was available at the time.
The GRID 4S measures in at 11.7 by 16.5 inches, the same size as an A3 sheet of paper. It features a white background with a black frame, which allows it to match with any decor. GRID Studio also has a range of other iPhone pieces available, with a 15 percent discount on everything this week.
