“A pair of parts claimed to be for both Apple’s anticipated 4.7- and 5.5-inch ‘iPhone 6’ models were posted online Friday, showing very different designs not only from each other, but from the current iPhone 5s,” Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider.
“The images shared by Nowhereelse.fr suggest that while the iPhone 5s home button cable looped around with a 180-degree turn, the 4.7-inch “iPhone 6″ version will be a straight cable, while the 5.5-inch version may have a slight curve,” Hughes reports. “The parts, if they are indeed legitimate, imply that Apple will have very different internal layouts for both of its anticipated upcoming ‘iPhone 6’ models.”
Hughes reports, “Identification numbers associated with the cables match up with previous leaks and parts from Apple, which bolsters speculation that the parts are indeed legitimate.”

If the internals components aren’t identical these new phones will be a failure. People want to know that things the will never see and have no real interest in are the same in their phone as they are in someone else with a different model.

Otherwise, I’m really confused.
The mentally confused and deranged statement of the day.
I would have hoped the sarcasm wouldn’t need to be pointed out.
I was just thinking to myself what imbeciles we’ve become that it’s news that the shapes of internal parts in two different devices are…well, different! We’ve really stooped low this time.
For those of us who repair iPhones for a living, the apparent change in the design of the home button and flex/fingerprint sensor cable in the 6 could be a welcome change from the 5S, preventing the delicate cable from being torn/damaged when removing and replacing the screen…
It looks like the “iPhone 6” button will be the shape of a rectangle.
No, because samdung said Apple must have patented curves.
The plot thickens…
Well duh? They have to look different. That way you and everybody else knows if you have the latest Apple gadget.
