Earlier
leaked images supposedly showed some of the components of the still-unannounced
iPhone 5 of Apple. Latest reports have indicated that these components have
apparently been put together to show an image of the next generation iPhone.
The image
initially emerged on an Asia-based website, iLab Factory, before it started to
spread to other tech-focused blogs (including this one). The image of an
assembled iPhone 5 showed the curved back, the speakers, screen display and the
buttons. However it only showed the black-colored option for the reported iPhone
5.
The supposed
iPhone 5 was reportedly assembled using the actual components of the device,
according to iLab Factory.
The image of
the supposed next generation iPhone also included the modified dock connector
at the bottom portion of the device. Earlier reports had hinted at the
possibility that Apple will be using a 19-pin doc connector for the upcoming
device instead of the current 30-pin connector.
If these
reports are accurate, it will make older devices virtually useless unless an
adapter is made available by Apple together with the reported iPhone 5.
The supposed
change in the dock connector for the iPhone 5 may have been due to the
repositioning of the headphone connector to the bottom of the device. The
headphone jack of the previous models of the device was located at the top.
The leaked
image of the iPhone 5 also showed some changes in the design that Apple
typically uses for its devices including a raised portion at the back as well
as the gun-metal sides. These may hint at the possibility that the leaked
images are not authentic although some industry watchers are still optimistic
about it.
Recent
reports had indicated that the upcoming iPhone 5 will become available between
September and October. Some reports have also hinted at a possible August 7
introduction of the upcoming device.
