With iPhone 5 rumours circulating and escalating to a crescendo before Apple’s September event, a new video has been created by the Smartphone Medic repair company to add more fuel to the rumours. This video compares the leaked and rumoured iPhone 5 parts with the existing iPhone 4S parts, providing a tantalizing glimpse into what might be Apple’s next big release.
The biggest difference shown in the video is the screen size, which appears to be larger than that of the iPhone 4S. This aligns with previous rumours suggesting that Apple is moving towards a bigger display to compete with other smartphones on the market. The new screen size could potentially offer a better viewing experience for users, making activities like watching videos, playing games, and browsing the web more enjoyable.
Another significant change highlighted in the video is the new smaller docking connector. This has been rumoured for some time and is expected to replace the current 30-pin connection. The smaller connector could make the device more compact and might also pave the way for new accessories and peripherals designed specifically for the iPhone 5. This change, however, may require users to purchase new adapters or accessories to be compatible with the new connector.
Design and Build Quality
The video also hints at other subtle design changes. The iPhone 5 parts appear to have a more streamlined and possibly thinner build compared to the iPhone 4S. This could mean that Apple is focusing on making the device not only more powerful but also more aesthetically pleasing and easier to handle. The materials used in the construction of the iPhone 5 could also be different, potentially offering better durability and a more premium feel.
Additionally, there are rumours about the iPhone 5 featuring a unibody design, similar to that of the MacBook line. This could enhance the overall strength and rigidity of the phone, making it less prone to damage from drops and impacts. The unibody design might also allow for a larger battery, which could improve the device’s battery life—a common concern among smartphone users.
Software and Performance
While the video primarily focuses on the hardware aspects, it’s worth considering the potential software improvements that could come with the iPhone 5. Apple is known for integrating its hardware and software seamlessly, and the iPhone 5 is expected to run on the latest version of iOS. This could bring new features, improved performance, and better security to the device.
For instance, there are speculations about enhanced Siri capabilities, more robust iCloud integration, and new camera features that could take advantage of the improved hardware. The combination of a larger screen and more powerful internals could also make the iPhone 5 a better platform for augmented reality (AR) applications, which Apple has been heavily investing in.

We will have to wait until next month for Apple’s September 12th keynote to see if the rumoured parts are actually from the new iPhone 5. As well as rumoured reports of Apple announcing a new mini iPad device, as always we will keep you updated.
