Could This Be The New iPhone 5 Parts?

There has been a few photos circulating around many of the news sites, apparently showing parts for the next iPhone. Whether these are true Apple parts or not we shall have to wait and see. For now we'll have a look at these photos, pair them with the rumours and then see whats what.

These photos were sent by a source for 9to5mac.com after the original ones form ifixit got around. Who sent them? We do not know. But going by the photos, a lot of the rumours were true. Whether they are for a prototype or the real thing remains to be seen.

This picture shows the front panelfrom a black iPhone and the back case from a white iPhone. Even from the first glance we can see some big changes. Most notably is the small dock connector. WHY APPLE? I don't know why Apple have decided for a smaller dock connector. Probably because it would most definately give way to the larger speaker. Sacrifice one for the benifit of the other.

   The speaker has been redesigned to match the unibody style case that was rumoured. It is now bigger with (I hope) a better sound quality than previous models. Apple seem to be keeping theMicro-sim that we seen in the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s. Other reports suggest that Apple may be going along the lines of Simcard-less phones. Meaning a small chip may hold the key to your calls rather than a plastic card.

   The front facing camera is again present, but has been moved to the centre of the phone and ABOVE the earpiece. The home button is still present, thankfully.
   One last thing from the picture that is going to niggle me, is the earphone jack. Instead of being in the top left of the phone where it has ALWAYS BEEN. They have now placed it down in the bottom left. I don't know why this will bother me, but trust me it will.

The above picture shows a frame for the iPhone. Noted again is the space for the home button.

Lastly, we have a shot of the back covers for both black and white. Notice the two-tone colouring of each of them? I'm literally sat here shaking my head at this one. The black one doesn't look as bad as the white one, in my opinion. and again on the white case we can clearly see that the metal Antenna band is attached to the case rather than being seperate like the iPhone 4/4s.
   There is one thing that I wouldn't have noticed, but others seemed to have picked up on it. Between the camera and the flash there is another hole. This is rumoured to be a second microphone for better sound quality whilst recording.

Some have said that these are fake photos because the 'iPhone' fonton the back just isn't 'Apple' enough to convince them.

    What do you guys think of the 'iPhone 5' parts? Are you all for the two-tone backs. the headphone jack on the bottom? Smaller dock? That's got to annoy a lot of you guys who have entertainment systems that support you current iPhone and aparently NOT this one. I really don't like this new phone parts. Is it a prototype? I hope so and not the real thing.
