New images of leaked parts reveal iPhone 4S antenna, iPhone 5 case back

Rumors that Apple plans to release an updated iPhone 4 model — referred to on tech blogs as the “iPhone 4S” — alongside the iPhone 5 this fall gained momentum on Thursday evening as images of purported iPhone 4S parts were published by MacRumors.com. The site says it received parts belonging to the iPhone 4S case from supplier iPatchiPods.com, an online iPhone and iPod repair shop. If these components are believed to be authentic, it appears as though the iPhone 4S will feature a redesigned antenna that may help alleviate attenuation resulting from the notorious “death grip.” In addition, MacPost published an image of what is purported to be the rear back from Apple’s upcoming iPhone 5. The redesigned white case back is said to be from a prototype device and it bears the model number “N94,” which we reported belongs to a forthcoming iPhone. MacPost also published several images of various supposed iPhone 5 parts we’ve already seen in the past. The image of the iPhone 5 rear cover and another image of the iPhone 4S antenna assembly follow below.

    If that’s the back of the iPhone 5, it’s kinda boring. Lack of a redesign means you get a “meh” reception like the 3GS ultimately did (regardless of whatever performance benefits it has, but regular people never think that way).

      Would you like it to be shaped like a fish or a star?

      There’s not much you can do for shapes of devices these days.

      No no no.. it’s no the same.
      The new iPhone will have adamantium antenna, and magical self-healing factor.. so it will not blend anymore.

        Maybe that’s why he retired. everyone else wanted to go to 4″ and he steadfastly refused.

        When did they say that?

      • Plazmic Flame

        This has always happened. Apple says one thing until the market changes. People have demanded for a bigger phone so they’re doing it. I don’t know if it’ll be 4 inches but I can definitely seeing it bumping up to 3.7 inches…

  • Chris

    No more lines in band!

  • Steve Lee

    I dont understand why they want to re-design the antenna part? when so may user finally learn to hold them right. so with the new Iphone….. we have to learn how to hold them right ?? ok we need steve back to teach us how to hold them… again….

    LOOK LIKE THE SAME SHIT TO ME JUST A LIL BIGGER COME ON APPLE SOMETHING NEW NOT MINOR UPGRADE!!!

    • Head Honcho

      How can you see that it is bigger?   There aren’t pictures if the 4S and 5 together.  Looks the same size to me.

  • GUEST

    That back piece looks like the current iPhone 4. In a previous post, the new iPhone 5 camera shows the flash down, and to the right – in the 5 o’clock position. That doesn’t match up with the above picture.

  • S. Jobs

    Remove the pictures please.

  • Yelmer

    Can’t believe Apple has 1 year and 4 months between the iPhone 4 and 5 models and the design will be almost the same………. #fail

    • Anonymous

      Oh no. The execs at Apple will probably read your comment and cancel the new phones.

    • Anonymous

      Why the # in front of “fail”? This isn’t twitter, toolbox

  • Chackakon

    That iphone 5 case looks pretty small. Hope it has a 4.3″ screen or bigger

    Somewhere an Apple fan boy is rubbing it out to these pictures.

    If that’s the back of the iPhone 5, the front better be a work of art.  Cause with a back like that you may as well use the same case as the iPhone 4.  Hopefully, these photos are just fake/wrong.  Apple has done a pretty good job at keeping the new iPhones privates.

  • Head Honcho

    I talked to a worker from the Foxconn factory.  He said his friends are working on the iphone 5 and they had told him it was barely different that iphone 4 with the same 3.5 inch screen.   Pretty disappointing.
