Following a
video from earlier this week that appeared to show a partially assembled device,
Sonny Dickson shares new alleged high resolution photos of the low-cost iPhone,
potentially named the iPhone 5C. A prominent poster on Chinese microblogging site Sina Weibo, C Technology, also claims (
via phoneArena) the low-cost iPhone in China will be priced at 3000 yuan off contract, which is equivalent to $490 and in line with current pricing on the iPhone 4.
The photos show the shell from various angles, including views from the back and side of the device, as well as the shell's interior which includes a set of metal linings and screw holes. The images also appear to be consistent with previous alleged
sightings of the device, with notable features such as an
8-megapixel camera, Lightning connector, speakers and flash for the phone.
The part appears to be nearly identical to
previously seen in high-quality photos and a video last month, with pin holes instead of full cut-outs for a number of physical features like power/volume buttons and the SIM card slot.
Like other sightings of the device, the phone in these photos does not appear to have the required legal information and certifications on its lower body, making it unclear as to whether this is a final version or a prototype, although such information is generally printed on the devices at different stages of production.
According to the most recent
report, Apple is expected to launch the low-cost iPhone in early September, alongside the upcoming the iPhone 5S.
