Is the storage (I.e. 16gb, 32gb etc) for any 5 phone model located on the mother/logic board? ALSO are all or any 5 models interchangeable?

THEN LETS GO CRAZYyyy

Would a mother/logic board from any 6 model fit into any 5 model? Since they've changed the physical design of the phone I'm taking not but who knows!



I was told a battery from a 5 connector would not fit a 5c and it did soo (I know battery life etc isn't as good) but it fit! It was a temporary set up though while I waited for a replacement.
 
The NAND storage is located on the logic boards on all iPhones.

I'm sure its not impossible but I'd imagine interchanging them would be quite the trick.

The iPhone 6....no way...
