Fourth Generation iPhone Parts?

On February 8, 2010, in Hardware News, Rumors, iPhone News, by admin

iPhone repair site iResQ has posted photos of what it claims are parts for the fourth-generation iPhone presumably due for launch later this year in June or July. Among the most notable features of the claimed parts are a front panel that appears to be approximately 1/4″ taller than the current iPhone 3GS.

Also present on the new front panel part is a “reflective surface” located just above the earpiece slot on the iPhone. It is not immediately obvious what the feature might be, and iResQ offers no speculation on its function beyond suggesting that it is a likely location for a proximity sensor, although that would not explain the need for the mirrored surface to be visible on the front of the device. The only thing that we can think of is that maybe there will also be a front-facing camera next to it.
