I don't think a logic board is drumming up excitement
Excuse me, I don’t quite see it... Will the logic board be that long? I don’t get it, I can’t visualize it.
Remember when Apple was exploring the idea of needing to gas up your laptop?

Legitimate question, but what do expect Apple to do that have not already? When you have thousands of employees working at a factory, they Don’t have direct control over everybody’s intentions intentionally leak schematics/hardware/code. There’s nothing Apple can do to fully stop this, they can only slow it down the best they can, but even so, they’re so popular in media, it will never be controlled. It is what is.

Or Apple is strategically leaking info to drum up interest during a pandemic.
Looks like it caught fire, but someone managed to put it out, fortunately...

I think this has a lot more to do with this pandemic having everyone work at home and not allowing Apple to send in their special agents to Foxconn to monitor leaks due to travel restrictions.
Manufactured week 40 of 2019.
This board has a classic "L" layout of what you would normally expect for an iPhone. But it's a mirror. The only orientation that now fits would be SIM and volume buttons on the same side.
Looks like they're finally bringing back some legacy ports to an Apple Device. Many here will be pleased.
It’s possible instead of stopping leaks they are “controlling” them. They get to stoke the fires of interest and leave very little for leakers to talk about. Supposedly Jon Prosser’s source is an Apple employee...
The charging port is not exclusive to computer connectivity. How about charging in your car? How about CarPlay? How about charging practically anywhere you don't have your expensive Apple-exclusive charging pad?
Doing away with the port is unlikely in 2021. Now, 2041, possibly.
It's one side of what will be a multi-layer PCB, along with other PCBs. cf here:

It's not much of a leak because it reveals nothing new. Apple has been using multi-layer PCBs for what? two years now already. The only interesting part would be the CPU, and even then what can you see from the outside (unless it has weirdo packaging like the A12X/A12Z...)?

Apple is going thermonuclear on delivering leaks.

I don't think that's necessarily the date, because if it was, iFixit's iPhone 11 was built in 2016.

Yeah, I know Apple is using a piecemeal approach to connectivity, but eventually they’ll get it right with our most likely port-less future.
Agreed. I can only think it’s due to more people working from home due to COVID, rather than a general collapse of their secrecy, but will be interesting to see how long it continues once offices reopen.
