The Orange. Nature's mysterious orange sphere. Believed to be the hybrid between a pomelo and a mandarin, the Orange is a staple food that has been cultivated since ancient times.

So what components make up this juicy device? Here are the tech specs:

Orange peel

Orange seeds

Orange pith

Orange pulp

Orange juice

Orange color (corresponding to a 620 nm wavelength)

Before we could start penetrating the thick outer peel protecting the Orange's sweet innards, this small mechanoid appeared out of thin air. Cue Final Fantasy battle theme.

After a protracted tussle, the Orange emerged victorious. The fate of the mechanoid is unknown—it vanished mysteriously into the arcane shadows from whence it came.

Strike a pose; Juxtapose. We set up our customary comparison shot to contrast the Orange to an Apple.

What exactly adheres the outer layer to the Orange? We aren't really sure. We're familiar with how much adhesive devices these days employ and are prepared to act accordingly.

In any case, the only sure-fire way to know is to heat the Orange up with our heat gun. This has never been done in the history of Orange disassembly. This truly is one small step for an Orange, one giant leap for fruitkind.

At this point, we are fairly confident that the heat gun sufficiently loosened any adhesive in the Orange. Time to get to the tearing down!

To our surprise, our normal approach does not seem to apply to this strange device.

Oddly, we have no luck with a guitar pick, plastic opening tool, tech knife, ruler, pair of tweezers, or even an iSesamo!

Having no luck with our vast array of poking, prodding, and prying tools, we figure a little more heat might be necessary.

With no other option in sight, we turn to our last resort for impossible-to-open devices: the Pentalobe screwdriver.

Phooey! That didn't seem to work, either. We are running out of ideas…

Just when we think all hope is lost, a tool descends upon us from the repair heavens as Morgan Freeman's voice booms throughout our teardown room.

Behold! The oOpener!

A tool rumored to open any orange in the universe, we had only heard about the oOpener in old repair myths shared around company campfires.

While most disassembly tools, such as the iOpener, can be fabricated, the oOpener is said to only be available to those who are pure of heart, mind, and vision of a repair-friendly world.

We quickly get to work slicing through the Orange's thick peel with the oOpener, spiraling down like whirlybirds in the breeze.

Having the right tool for the job is a truly heartwarming experience. We hold back the overflow of nostalgia as the oOpener brings back fond memories of early spudger escapades.

A plastic opening tool allows us to finish the job started with the armor-piercing strength of the oOpener.

Prying things open with a plastic opening tool—finally a familiar tune for us.

It took us ten steps, but we finally managed to penetrate the impenetrable.

As an added bonus, the Orange comes with a free accessory, the Orange Peel—an amusing, Slinky-like contraption, guaranteed to deliver hours of fun.

Results may vary. Your Orange Peel may not actually look like a Slinky. Do not try to use Peel as a Slinky. Do not try to use Peel as any form of toy. Do not give Peel to children. Consult a doctor if you feel that your Orange Peel is not Slinky-y enough.

Now that we've removed the rind, let's take a brief scientific look at the make-up of the Orange in the first ever segment of Fruit Science with iFixit!

Oranges and other citrus fruits are of the order Hesperidium—a kind of berry with a tough, leathery rind.

The three important layers of such fruits are the exocarp (rind), mesocarp (pith), and endocarp (the delicious edible part).

One final obstacle stands between us and sectioning the Orange into its component wedges.

Gentle prying with a plastic opening tool separates the navel, freeing up the top of the Orange for separation.

This appears to be yet another irreversible step; the Orange's repairability score will likely take another hit.

We notice the resistance of some natural adhesive as we slowly pull the Orange apart.

It appears that if you are not careful enough whilst pulling the Orange apart, you will tear the sectional membranes of the Orange.

We love modular devices, and this one is as modular as they come. Having modular components makes replacing each component a lot tastier easier.

All ten major internal components of this device are easily removable. However, we are worried that they might not go back together as easily as they come apart, a common problem in fruit repair.

Though the Orange's repairability is highly questionable, we do admire its end-of-life design. It is completely recyclable, compostable, and delicious-able. We hope that devices like this will some day catch the attention of other device manufacturers and help keep electronics out of landfills…unless they are compostable, of course!

Sectioning the left half reveals another component: the central column of the Orange.

Turning a wedge over reveals more of the pithy mesocarp. Its utility is currently unknown; we suspect possibly EMI shielding?

It's time to unlock the deeper mysteries of the Orange.

Unlike some of our more complicated teardowns, a steady hand and a sharp blade are the only tools we need to get a view of a section's internal structure.

With the wedge split, we get a serious look at the Orange's seriously small seeds.

These extremely small components seem to be nested deep within the device. Repairability will definitely take a hit for this one.

Navel Oranges, such as this, have small, sterile seeds that cannot be used to reproduce more Oranges—a cutting from an existing fruit-bearing tree must be grafted to another tree.

We assume the device is supported by Orange Mobile but it remains to be seen if it will be released to other carriers in the future.

Orange Repairability Score: O out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

Normal operation requires breaking the outer case.

Partition membranes and linings are exceedingly fragile, and will break during casual use.

Impossible to reassemble after opening.

All components secured with some sort of natural adhesive.

Internal components filled with acid.
