More iPhone 5 Component Pictures Leak, Battery, Camera Lens, Audio Flex Cable

[Phillip Swanson]

Another round of alleged iPhone 5 component pictures have leaked (thank you TVC Mall), and while not terribly exciting, do offer a few potential hints at what iPhone 5's camera and battery performance could be.

The first rumor that would get the axe if these components turn out to be legit: the iPhone 5 sporting a dual flash system. The leaked camera component retains the single flash system of the iPhone 4, and hopefully sports the rumored 8 megapixel sensor.




The leaked pictures of the iPhone 5's battery show a battery that is nearly identical to the iPhone 4's battery. The specs of the batteries are nearly identical too. The alleged iPhone 5 battery is rated at 3.7V and 5.3Whr and the iPhone 4's is rated at 3.7V and 5.25Whr. The similar specs might mean the iPhone 5 could see battery performance verily similar to the iPhone 4. Battery life could also be better or worse depending on how energy efficient iOS 5 and the newer A5 processor are.

Lastly the iPhone 5's audio jack flex cable has been leaked, brining the number of leaked components thus far up to five (the proximity sensor, and front facing camera lens previously leaked). Expect more leaks in the next few weeks as iPhone 5 production likely ramps up to meet it's rumored October release.

If this is real it is not 4G

I was wondering if anyone could confirm me that iPhone 5 would really be released on October 7 2011 or not? And is Apple really going to release it without any events?

No one can confirm for sure, what do you think?

And I'm pretty sure I read there's an event scheduled on Sept 7
Just wait

Seems lacking ... For a new iPhone ... I'll wait for next year's model as well if these parts are used for this upcoming new iPhone.

If this is real it is not 4G

Everyone has been saying it won't be 4G for months. I have seen no reason to believe otherwise... Just saying...

[Poseidon79]

Can I pre-order yet?

[Donnutt]

I will wait for iphone 6

Me too. Cause just by looking at these parts I'm completely convinced the iPhone 5 is not worth my time...

If this is real it is not 4G

no one ever said it would be 4G, especcially since no carrier in the world even has 4G. You might be thinkin of LTE which is out in countries like Canada, Japan, South Korea and the Scandanavian countries, which is a step towards 4G, but does not meet 4G standards

I have been saving my upgrade since March. Come on Apple.

If we knew for sure.. why would we be seeing all these rumors, release date ideas, and be 75% clueless of the new iPhone? We don't even know for a fact if it's going to come out, or have "iPhone 5" as its name.. lol. You'll know when we know.

[Wolftamer]

There should be an event in Sept. Apple normally does hold one around that time. Usually some phone and mac news thrown in, but also normally the time for iPod news to come out. Although it's expected iPhone will headline it this year. (and possibly iPad)

[BrettEliot]

Technical faults are the first major problem iPhone 5 is going to face. If you are thinking this is wrong then don’t forget what happened when iPhone 4 was launched. Rumored specs and features of the 5th generation iPhone clearly show that iPhone 5 will have a lot of new features and Apps. in it. Most of them will be introduced for the first time through this smartphone. So, there are chances that this phone will have a few minor technical faults in it.

If there is ANY department that they should be trying to find new innovation in, it should be battery technology.

[iKillYou]

Might as well start calling it the iPhone 4GS lol.

Please tell me you'e kidding. Battery life in iPhones is far superior to any Android phone on the market. Battery life is the first thing all my friends complain about when switching to a different smart phone. Apple controls both hardware and software on their products which allows for much better optimization compared to any other hardware provider on the market.

lol.

So basically they're leaking the iPhone 4 once again.

That's true, I am quite satisfied with my battery life. Now as for screen size ...

If this is real it is not 4G

how can you tell by looking at a camera part and a battery that a phone is not 4G? these parts are in no relations to 4G...
