iPhone 5S Nano SIM Trays Surface?
As you probably know already, there`s been almost seven month now since the new iPhone 5 was released, so the iPhone lovers are now looking forward to see the next generation version -the iPhone 5S. As far as we could find out, this summer could turn into that moment we`ve all expected, because it looks like there are new proofs related to source parts that were already sent to Apple`s Asian suppliers in order to begin the effective assembly process.
Knowing this, it`s not that surprising to discover more and more of the so called original parts everywhere in Asia, like for example the vibrator motors and the Home buttons. According to the data dropped a few days ago by Moumantai, a Japanese parts shop, it seems that we`re talking about an iPhone`s 5S SIM tray.
Anyway, as far as we know, the new trays are similar in size and shape with the Nano SIM trays that you can find on the actual iPhone 5, the only difference is represented by the gold and gray colors the new ones have. Now, if we think about the info we saw in the last reports related to new colorized iPhone 5S, the new colored trays seem to fit perfectly. Keep in mind though, that these data were mostly extracted from supply chain members and analyst reports sources.
You can search and see the images with the new trays posted yesterday on Moumantai`s blog.
As you probably remember, when the new iPhone 5 was released seven months ago – in September 2012, the new Nano SIM trays were the first advertised parts related to this new smartphone. This way, Apple`s new device was the first smartphone that included the tiny SIM tray, making possible its slender appearance.
Anyway, nowadays there`s not such a big deal anymore to have Nano SIM`s incorporated in your smartphone, so the leaked news related to Nano SIM`s that would have different colors, is not representing such a big news anymore, like it did in 2012.
But, anyhow, these info are meant to make us think that Apple is looking forward for a new iPhone generation.
Even more, according to Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal, it seems that Foxconn started again the recruitment process. As far as we could find out from the announcement made by an anonymous Foxconn executive, they are mass employing new people in order to start the mass production of a new iPhone in the next few months.
It looks like, the delay of the new Apple products are related to some technical issues the company had in the manufacturing department, according to the well known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI Securities. This means, the new lot of iPhones are expected to be released somewhere in the fall.
The news was strengthened by another announcement made these days by Reuters, which stated that the release of Apple`s new device could be delayed due to some fingerprint sensor problems.
We are sure you are aware of the new specs of the next gen iPhone model, such as a powered up A7 chip and a 13 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, but the most awesome feature is expected to be the fingerprint scanning through a special sensor placed beneath the Home button. This feature will be the one to define the new iPhone device.
The Register sources let us know, that Apple is still facing some challenges related to the actual iPhone model. It looks like there are more than 8 million iPhones that were returned to Foxconn, because the devices didn`t seem to be suitable for sale. Knowing these, we think Foxconn is about to gain over $1 billion by fixing the devices.
It’s exactly the same in terms of shape and size to the Nano SIM trays used on the current iPhone 5, with one exception: the leaked ones are in gray and gold colors.
