iPhone 5S spotted with dual-LED flash, slightly bigger battery

Android

Earlier we've seen several internal components of upcoming iphone 5S that have leaked on the internet.

Now more rumoured images started showing up both the internal and rear shell of upcoming iphone 5S.

Interestingly, the above leaked image shows the same redesigned logic board leaked earlier this week. The above image hints that this might possibly be the next iphone.

As expected, Apple seem to follow its tradition with the same design of iphone 5 on the next iphone also.

The only change appeared externally is the the dual LED flash rather than the single unit found on the iPhone 5.

The processor is unnamed with the traditional A-series logo not printed onto it. That means unfortunately we can't get an idea of whether Apple will be launching a new chip in the iPhone 5S.

 The new battery also has a higher capacity of 5.92 Whr, compared to the 5.45 Whr capacity of the iPhone 5's battery. Whether this makes a huge real world difference, particularly if the processor is more powerful, we will have to wait and see.

 The battery also has several blank boxes printed on it where various regulatory logos would be, suggesting that this is a prototype battery yet to receive final certifications.

Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 5S later this year alongside a lower-cost iPhone with a plastic shell that will be available in different color options. Rumors suggests that Apple could release the new iPhones around the September.
