And the leaks just keep on coming! By now it should be clear that Apple is having a sixth-generation iPhone assembled in Asia, and you can now add a logic board to your pile of leaked photos from the handset.
MacRumors is reporting that images of the front and back of a sixth-generation iPhone logic board have surfaced, revealing "distinct" differences from the current iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 logic boards.
Originally posted to Chinese forum Weiphone and then discovered by French website Nowhereelse.fr, the logic board "lines up exactly with those of the previously leaked shells," which certainly makes for compelling evidence that they are indeed the real McCoy.
With Apple widely expected to unveil the next iPhone at a media event as early as September 12, the continual flood of leaked parts isn't much of a surprise -- despite CEO Tim Cook's insistence that Apple plans to "double down" on such incidents.

Gang,
The real reason I suspect this is not the final version is that the DOCK connector is not included.
From my sources the new dock is either going to be 15 or 19 pins and since there seems to be lock down area at the base of the phone and since the 3.5mm headphone connector is down there also I would think they are going to change the board again before it hits production.
Thanks
G.
