There is a whole load of internet that you’ve probably never seen, and won’t ever see in the future.

Do it for the lulz, or as a break from the incremental updates about the iPhone 6 launch, Scotland’s referendum, or Alibaba’s blockbuster IPO. Go ahead and step right up. ➤ theuselessweb.com | Via Product Hunt Thumbnail image via Tomislav Pinter / Shutterstock

Apple repair company iFixit is traditionally the first to get inside Apple’s new iPhones every year, and it continued its run today after hosting a live teardown of the new jumbo-sized iPhone 6 Plus.

Overall, iFixit gives the device seven out of ten for repairability….
