New High-Resolution Photos of iPhone 5S Parts Reveal Little

"High-resolution" photos....aka fakes....

If it wasn't snapped with a Polaroid or $80 Android smartphone camera hastily in a bathroom stall at the factory, it's not a picture of a real part.
 
WOW, AWESOME ... what more can I say ... as fantastic as it is, I can now put down my Galaxy S4 and start looking at iPhone parts ... awesome!!!!

Yes, thats sarcasm, and all of those getting excited, please go get a life (or try buying one of the next generation phones ALREADY built, on the market and available to buy today!)
 
Whats the point in showing a photo af the sim tray that's exactly the same as the current sim tray then?
Apart from that it's good to see the parts, but it's not like anyone didn't believe a new iPhone was going to be launched.

Meh, all anyone wants is photos of the new and different parts.

"New High-Resolution Photos of iPhone 5S Parts Reveal Little"

And yet you felt this was compelling "news" to post?

Lame.

:mad::mad::mad:
 
At some point (sooner then later) apple is going to have to change up the S release cycle. And while I still firmly believe that the iPhone, & iOS are much a better experience then android, I think that continuing on a 2 year cycle for new hardware is going to catch up and bite them. I think its already starting. Things are progressing much too quickly these days to continue on this trend.

Uhhh....just how is it you buy a next generation phone? If it is available now, it is a current generation phone, not a next generation phone. Nice try though! :rolleyes:

The "S" has never been confirmed by Apple. It's important to remember that everything, including the name is a rumor. No one's expecting a major design change, but nothing's confirmed at this point.

Nope. Won't find 5S in any "official" APPL release. Or interview for that matter. ;)
 
You add nothing to the discussion bitching about articles you don't like. If the article isn't interesting to you don't click it, end of story.

Some of the comments on here are every bit as bad as Youtube comments, I swear.
 
In curious how much Apple saves by putting in the rotational motor (or if there is some other reason for dumping the linear oscillating one). I preferred the linear one and assumed others either didn't care or that most also preferred it. I was hoping they'd bring it back!

A full comparison here: http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/09/28/yes-iphone-5-vibrate-differently/

Looks like the linear oscillating motor was dumped again, and they beefed up the vibration motor in the iPhone 5.

It took three pages for someone to mention Samsung? Slow day....
 
A return to beige?

I don't think Apple would ever go back to the past, beige is so passé.

I agree its odd, well if the iPhone 5 / 5S photo is correct, Apple have possible doubled the vibration feedback, as its gone from one counterweight to two with a larger rotational motor compared to the iPhone 5. Unless this will be used for vibration (aka silent) and possibly a dual purpose as haptic feedback. I actually suggested to Apple months ago to use the vibration motor as a haptic feedback system, which can be turned off and on. So, maybe this adds some credence to it. Maybe they took my suggestion on board.

Here's the thing, the rotational motor with counterweight is larger, requires more power and it vibrates heavier and louder and because of its design it runs at either full speed or stops, as its not a stepping motor - aka speed cannot be changed gradually - its on or off. Linear oscillators require less power, less room, and their speed can be altered from low to full vibration very quickly, plus they are not as harsh and quieter.
