Yet more images of Apple’s iPhone 5S have leaked online, revealing a dual-LED flash and a slightly larger battery cell. This time we have a relatively clear photo showing what kind of hardware the smartphone has tucked under the hood, along with one of the handset's back side.
MacRumors has received several images that appear to show both the interior and rear shell of Apple's upcoming iPhone 5S. The device appears to carry the same redesigned logic board that appeared earlier this week, suggesting that this is indeed a new iPhone.
Just like the images we saw earlier this week, the iPhone 5S looks pretty much identical to the iPhone 5 – it even has the same two-tone pewter colour scheme. The logic boards present on the two leaked shots were also identical, claims Mac Rumors.
Interestingly the chipset present on the handset isn’t marked with an identification/model number. Apple’s chipsets carry the ‘A’ brand – the iPhone 5's A6 CPU, for instance – although here for some reason it’s been left blank.
Reports suggest Apple’s next iPhone may carry an A7 CPU, although nothing has yet been confirmed.
The battery carries a more recent Apple Part Number of 616-0652 compared to the iPhone 5 battery, which has carried several different part numbers including 616-0611 and 616-0613. The new battery also has a higher capacity of 5.92 Whr, compared to the 5.45 Whr capacity of the iPhone 5's battery. The battery also has several blank boxes printed on it where various regulatory logos would be, suggesting that this is a prototype battery yet to receive final certifications.
On the rear of the device a dual-LED flash is clearly present, giving us the first real indication that Apple’s next iPhone will feature a radically evolved imaging suite. Reports suggest the iPhone 5S’ camera will be one of its major USPs.
The rumored iPhone 5S is expected to arrive later in 2013 alongside a cheaper iPhone model. Both are likely to come with the same 4-inch screen and iOS 7 pre-installed. The low-cost iPhone, however, will probably be thicker and plastic-made, while the pricier iPhone 5S will most likely stick with the current model's aluminum design.
