Photos of Assembled 'iPhone 5' Front Panel with Home Button, Front Camera and Shielding Installed [Update: NFC?]

That's a meaningless statement. The "front panel" has looked the same since the original iPhone and that's all they're showing here.

I meant in general as there have been other leaks. The back panel doesn't look much different either...just slightly two-tone - big deal.

Double down on secrecy

I'll see your EM shield and raise you a front panel buddy!

with all these parts leaked - anyone see anything that could be NFC or even more exciting acutec? (fingerprint tech aapl bought) maybe the shielding is more than just durability?
 
Sadly, I don't don't see anything compelling to upgrade from my 5th gen IPhone 4s. The bigger screen won't do it, and we're not LTE in the Detroit, MI area…

I just noticed, at the top of the Camera it appears there is a second sensor or the sensor is in a different place than has been shown in earlier leaks next to the ear piece?

Nope, thats the reflection of the flash lens from the guy taking the photo
 
Political issues that have been included in the text of this photo.
It is Senkaku issue.
Since I was a little anxious...
 
The Japanese in the watermark

The full quote is:
"釣魚島は中国のもの、蒼井そらは世界のもの"

Literally translated as Japanese it means that "The fishing islands are Chinese and Aoi Sora is the world's." I believe the slogan uses the Chinese name for the islands, but I'm not certain.

These islands are referring to the Senkaku (尖閣) Islands. (Japanese Name)

Aoi Sora is a Japanese AV actress who gained notarity in China back in 2002.
Her name is also a homonym with "blue sky."

So basically, from what I read on it, it's a political gag directed at the Japanese and that has gained popularity among many Chinese regardless of gender since around Spring.

I'm still a little reserved about this whole taller screen, but I'm excited to see what Apple has in store 🙂.

While this new screen is taller than the current iPhone... a 4" 16:9 screen is nothing new.

They were popular... about 2 years ago 😉
 
Honestly, the best part of those photos is the new Home button.

The old design of the past 5 iPhones was unreliable. This one looks like the button can now be easily replaced.
 
I don't like how the macrumors main page opens in desktop view and when I click on comments, it defaults to the mobile version. I have to scroll down and choose desktop view.
 
I'm finding it strange that for weeks now, rumors seem to revolve around the look of the thing.

I'd be far more interested in rumors about its phone capabilities.

LTE ? If yes, for everyone, or once more only for the US like in the new iPad?
NFC ?
Memorysizes? 16/32/64 or will we get 64/128/256? or only 8 again, since iTunes is now in the Cloud?

There seems to be very little information about the actual capabilities of this new phone, but a shi..oad of information about how the display will be a little elongated to accomodate more pixels.
Or have I been missing rumors? Recent ones?
