They shoot quickly during lunch break in the rest room and put the board back to the assembly line; no studio lightning or full-frame cameras around. But that's only a wild guess.
Got a tip for us?

Hoping for a ram increase
So what parts haven't we seen?
Any doubters on this doubling of secrecy ????

I'm finding these posts really annoying... It's like, "HUGE NEWS, THE NEW IPHONE IS GOING TO HAVE A LOGIC BOARD". No **** Einstein.
They look to be taken against white fabric, probably of an assembly line workers uniform, in a hurry....
No wonder they are blurry!

with all the parts we've seen they can easily build an iphone and find out the specs lol is the first time I saw they leak part by part enough to build the whole device 
Probably taken before the security guards notice the camera and start using their nunchucks on the photographer.
That's exactly what they are. If you click the link to the Chinese website you can clearly see the pics of the logic boards are on some type of device.
Apple will be at risk of falling seriously behind its competition if it continues to use a Cortex-A9 in the next iPhone.
this is getting ridiculous. it seems apple is really controlling all the leaks like in some cheap television show where you get one cliffhanger at a time till the season finale (the keynote). oh well, whatever. I will use my 4s until at least the next generation, it will serve we well. lets see which feature apple reserves for the elite of new iphone users, although the current hardware is still totally capable for it. sorry to be so pessimistic, but I had a couple of beer...
hhhmmmmmmm "strokes chin" I would believe that this, Mr Watson, is an enigma?
Doesn't exactly give any indication to show it's either legitimate or what chips are on it.

If Apple uses the same SOC and then they say only the new iPhone 5 can take advantage of certain apps they will be in a huge pile.
Not really as I'm not sure the A15's are out yet? It only needs a dual core A15 with a dual core PowerVR 6 series GPU, or even a single core one, and it will comfortably hold it's own for a good while then
Don't need any of this quad core malarkey in a 4" phone, better to have a battery life.
Only issue with the RAM increase is the drain on the battery, since this thing is LTE (it has to be, since Verizon and AT&T have both committed to only selling LTE smartphones from here out). I'd be willing to give up some RAM for better battery life - 768MB would probably be just right.

There is an argument to more cores meaning better battery life, especially if you can throttle the speed down even further.
Forget Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, it's far more exciting to take blurry pictures of upcoming iPhone parts...Why blurry? Were they taken in a hurry?
That's how I feel!! All the previous professional quality pics of leaked parts have been so suspicious. This finally makes me feel like it's the real deal. haha.
Bet your ass those pics were taken quick fast with small cameras.
We are talking China here. Get caught and they'll probably drag your family out back and shoot them in front of you.
my personal thoughts? it is not necessary to power the next generation iPhone with the latest A5X. The new iPhone doesnt really need to hav such high graphic performance like the iPad.
What the new iPhone needs is 3 things:
1). An increased memory space from 512MB to a full 1GB.
2). Also, Apple need to build a much more efficient n of course faster processor to power the unit without causing any overheat problems like the A5X chip in the new iPad.
3). A bigger screen since everyone's hands is getting bigger n itchier for bigger screen size.
If this logic board can fulfill all these 3 criterias, then honestly, I would definitely get the new iPhone when it comes out. But again, this is just my personal opinion.
