Next-Gen iPhone Motherboard Leak Suggests Alterations To Camera Design [IMAGE]

We’ve already heard today that the next-gen iPhone may not be called the iPhone 5S, but rather the iPhone 6, and to add even more speculation to the discussion, it looks as though the forthcoming device, whatever it shall be named, may also sport a tweaked camera design.

There’s no doubt that the iPhone 5′s camera, despite having only been modestly enhanced from the iPhone 4S, is one of the best on the market, and aside from Nokia’s PureView handset range, few vendors could stake a claim to offering a superior snapper than that of the current Apple flagship.

According to a leaked motherboard, which is described by the fairly reliable French blogNowhereelse.fr, has a component of the next-generation Apple smartphone, the camera could well be among the alterations when the iPhone 5S / 6 is eventually announced. Although the part bears an uncanny resemblance to the iPhone 5′s mobo, there are notable differences, and since we don’t recognize this from any other iOS device, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that we could be looking at the next iPhone’s motherboard:

Nowhereelse.fr has emerged from obscurity to posting regular leaks of Apple hardware in recent months, and more often than not, has come up trumps. Invariably, Apple has brought noticeable improvements to the iPhone’s camera through the generations, and although the standard of last year’s model remains high even in light of devices such as the Galaxy S4 and HTC One, there’s certainly scope for Apple to deliver a top drawer point-and-shoot experience to the increasing numbers of wannabe photographers.

Nowhereelse.fr cites Japanese retailer Moumantai as the source of the hardware, and as you can see above, while the same component within the iPhone 5 was connected to two separate ribbons, this version is very much a unified affair.

While it’s certainly possible that we could indeed be ogling the motherboard of the next-generation iPhone, it could also comprise part of the well-document low-cost iPhone – a device said to widen the appeal to consumers shopping for mid to low-end smartphones, while also helping Apple grab some of the lucrative, emerging markets in parts of Asia.

We’ll keep you informed should we learn of any more info, so stay tuned.

New iOS 7 Concept Is Both Clean And Functional With A Very Intuitive UI [VIDEO]

We’ve seen quite a few iOS 7 concepts during the past couple of months, and given that the general consensus seems to be one of Apple’s mobile being real need of some rejuvenation, this should perhaps come as no surprise. We have been steadfast in its tracking of these concepts, and today, we have come across a modest, but perhaps realistic concept design based on what Apple will have been able to achieve by the time WWDC 2013 comes around.

As the vast majority of you will likely be aware, Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference will commence from June 10th this year, and although we’re expecting the wraps to be taken offOS X 10.9, by far the most pressing issue is that of iOS 7. Scott Forstall, former iOS SVP and so-called "spiritual partner" of Steve Jobs, is no longer a part of the company, and with SirJony Ive now lending his creative wisdom to the software side of things, the tech world hopes for some more encouraging enhancements moving forward.

Since the German site Apfelpage.de has sought to be realistic in this particular concept, it packs in less of the speculative features we’ve become accustomed to in some of the other iOS 7 ideas. Bringing toggles to the lock screen – something covered for a long while within the jailbreak scene – the concept then goes on to detail several interesting alterations and enhancements.

Both the Notification Center and multitasking bar are integrated into the lock screen as well as the home screen, and are accessible by lifting the area where the camera slider currently resides. Nothing appears to have been done about the multitask bar per se, and given just how one-dimensional and fiddly the feature currently is, this is a little disappointing. Personally, I hope Apple concentrates heavily on bringing much more enhanced functionality to multitasking than is currently on offer.

The concept then goes on to throw in one or two other goodies, including a revamped, Mailbox-like Mail app, and overall, this effort is perhaps indicative of some of the changes we could actually see on June 10th. Hopefully, as well as ridding the OS of all traces of skeuomorphism, Ive’s influence will help vastly improve iOS 7′s functionality, and I, for one, cannot wait to see what Apple comes up with.

Check out the concept below, and let us know what you think by sharing your thoughts in thecomments section.
