A Comparison of iPhone 5 Components with iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S

The holiday season is nearing every day and so is the date at which Apple will finally be unveiling the iPhone 5. Everybody is excited about what the new iPhone will offer in terms of features. But all those features will depend on hardware and the internal components of the iPhone 5. Thus to compare the new phone with its predecessors, we should start with a comparison of iPhone 5 components with those of iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.

Very recently images were leaked of internal components of the iPhone 5. These images were leaked on a French site, NowhereElse. While these might only be rumored components, they seem far too detailed and far too in line with the specifications that are already rumored. Take a look at this image:

As you can see the image is a comparison of the internal components of the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and the iPhone 5. The first row of components is basically the electric motors that are used to provide the phone with the vibration functionality. As is apparent, the iPhone 5’s vibration motor is similar to that of the iPhone 4 rather than the iPhone 4S.

The other components basically look like the wiring structure of the phones and show how connections will be routed. The new iPhone 5 seems to have much simpler design for inner flex cables. We imagine this to be because of the newly positioned headphones port. A simpler design will definitely mean more power efficiency.

As the days draw near, we will be seeing even more iPhone 5 related news. How much of all the upcoming news is true and how much is rumored will only be determined by the actual iPhone 5 which we shall see soon enough.
