14 DAY TRIAL // TVC-Mall, a Chinese parts seller with a focus on Apple products, has reportedly obtained components destined for the next-generation iPhone, including the flex cable holding the Lighting + Jack connectors, and the speaker assembly.
Nowhereelse.fr picked up the two photos from TVC-Mall showing two new components supposedly designed for one of Apple’s upcoming iPhones.
The first one shows the Lightning connector flex cable (which also holds the jack plug), while the second one is a loudspeaker assembly. The images in and of themselves say nothing about the next-generation iPhone from Apple, except that it could look very similar to the current-generation model.
If that’s the case, we could be in for another S-grade upgrade this year (though I’ve personally opined against it).
Of note, the French site dishing out the photos says, “the serial number of the spare part (821-1567-06) suggests that it has indeed been designed to Apple's account especially for iPhone.”
