Two months ago a video made rounds comparing side-by-side the current iPhone 4S front panel to a 4.07-inch panel allegedly belonging to a sixth-generation iPhone. Another, similar video just hit the Interwebs comparing the front panels of the current iPHone 4S and the rumored iPhone 5.
Some of the stuff that we gleaned from the seven-minute clip include a centered FaceTime camera and a taller panel, which aligns nicely with previously leaked schematics. More findings right below…
iPhoneinCanada [1] points to the clip and a series of images highlighting the differences between the two parts.
MacRumors [2] observes that “not only is the new part taller than the corresponding iPhone 4S part but it is also 0.1 mm thinner and offers more light transmittance and more scratch resistance than its counterpartâ€.
Here’s that clip.
The video is made by iPhone parts company ETrade Supply [3] so it’s entirely possible the company is simply looking to get some free press. As such, the report and the video should be taken with a grain of salt.
ETrade Supply also notes that the hole for the home button is 0.3mm smaller in diameter than the hole on the iPhone 4S and that the area around the home button of the iPhone 5 glass lens also narrows down, possibly indicating a smaller loud speaker on the next iPhone.
Here is the top part.
Notice the slightly narrower camera hole on the FaceTime glass lens of the iPhone 5 front panel. The light sensor hole is moved from the top to the left side of receiver and is also noticeably smaller.
Feel free to post your observations down in the comments.
