An alleged photo of an iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro motherboard has leaked and is circulating on social media via Twitter account LeoRepairYao.
The board does not provide us with many visual clues, but one notable aspect is that it has a more elongated design as opposed to the more compact boards seen in recent higher-end iPhone models. Fine print indicates that the board was manufactured in the 40th week of 2019, aka the first week of October.

Who the hell cares what the inside looks like???
Possibly, iFixit tech-heads and fanboys. The average consumer who sees this circuit board won’t even know what they’re looking at.
I do. I made specific recommendations to Tim about the placement of the 5G chip, and he listened. Glad to see it. Also glad my influence is more viral than influenza.
More comments from CitizenTV+, please. If you aren’t too busy in your daily back to back meetings in Cupertino, of course. Love it!
DNA is kind of important.
So you’re saying that a new phone has design changes? Astonishing!
Did the 5G chip come from Commie Huawei China or not??
I would like to see, a slide for a nano memory card and two slides for nano sims! This is especially useful for traveling overseas, and secondly for on the fly backup and adding more storage. These options are available on competitor phones.
Sorry, it won’t happen. People will lose or have nano memory cards stolen, and people are cheap and will buy cards with slow speeds. Takes up too much space on the motherboard, too. Apple already has iPhones with two sims but only in China and Hong Kong, sadly.
