By now, we've seen our fair share of online photos that claim to show what the next-gen iPhone will look like. Now, a smartphone repair firm out of South Carolina claims to have gotten its hands on parts for new iPhone, including the front panel and flex cables.
In a YouTube video posted yesterday (below), an individual known as Justin from SmartPhone Medic walks viewers through a 3-minute overview of the new iPhone screen and cables.
Justin does not elaborate on how SmartPhone Medic obtained the iPhone parts, except to say that "we just got some new iPhone 5 parts in." SmartPhone Medic did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In the video, however, Justin places what he says are two iPhone 5 shells next to two iPhone 4S devices. The iPhone 5 front panels are longer and thinner than the iPhone 4S, while the camera and the proximity sensor have switched places.
The various cables, meanwhile, show off the rumored 8-pin dock connector and a headphone jack that is on the bottom of the iPhone rather than the top.
On Aug. 15, a SmartPhone Medic employee named Tyler posted another video in which he showed off buttons and SIM card trays for the iPhone 5. According to Tyler, the sleep/wake button atop the iPhone 5 is slightly smaller than those on the iPhone 4/4S, as is the home button. The sleep/wake button received by SmartPhone Medic is also a gun-metal gray color rather than the silver on the iPhone 4/4S.
The SIM card slot are also smaller. In June, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) agreed on a new SIM card standard, selecting the option pushed by Apple.
Apple has not yet made any announcements, but Cupertino is largely expected to unveil the next-gen iPhone at a Sept. 12 event and release it on Sept. 21.
