Next week Apple will spill the beans on the iPad 2, which can only mean one thing: It’s time to start focusing on the iPhone 5 — which will (probably) be announced in June.
The site suggests the unconfirmed part could be the digitizer panel for the next iPhone. Interestingly enough, the part appears to have a larger cutout section for a screen which could support earlier reports from DigiTimes that the new model will feature a four-inch display to compete with some Android devices.
Besides being unconfirmed, the photo is problematic because the part doesn’t appear next to anything — giving it no scale. It could just as easily mean that the upcoming iPhone could be smaller if the screensize remains the same and the bezel shrinks. The screen could also be any other size, there’s really no way to tell.
Regardless if this is a legit part or not, it seems like Apple has a few changes in store for the next iPhone besides a larger screen.
Stay tuned. The iPhone 5 rumor mill is sure to heat up in the coming months. iDealsChina, the website that leaked the part photo, seems to hint that more photos will be popping up soon.
