Compiled iPhone 5 Front Panel Surfaced With No NFC Technology (Report)

Alleged parts for the iPhone 5 haven’t stopped to surface the Internet until now. We have seen a fully assembled iPhone 5, hands on video of iPhone 5, different leaked parts of the iPhone 5, dock connector of the iPhone 5, and today we are going to discuss about a new assembled front panel leaked with everything installed on it from home button till FaceTime Camera. Over here from everything, we mean the shield, home button, FaceTime Camera, proximity sensor, and all the things are assembled in this newly leaked front panel of the alleged iPhone 5. In this new leak, we are seeing more parts than the previous leak of the alleged iPhone 5 front panel.

The newly leaked front panel of the iPhone 5 doesn’t only shows LCD attached to the face panel, but also displays how the home button is attached to the front panel with a metal bracket for its protection. The front panel also shows a shielding frame for the display that was previously seen as a separate part and the front facing FaceTime Camera is also installed with additional shielding protecting it.

After going through all the part leaks and rumors, we have seen everything was same from different sources. This newly leaked fully assembled iPhone 5 front panel gives us a clear idea about how the front panel may look when it is fully assembled. However, the front panel looks the same as of the iPhone 4/4S despite a 4-inch screen, reallocated FaceTime Camera, and proximity sensor. The upcoming iPhone 5 would feature a two-tone UNI Body design with two metal stripes in the center back and top/bottom made of plastic or glass.

With all the preceding leaks, we have gotten a clear idea about the forthcoming iPhone. We would suggest not going with all the parts leaked because nothing has been officially said by Apple regarding the iPhone 5. We are not officially confirmed about the September 12 Media Event. We are waiting for Apple to make its move and send out the Media Invites.

The story doesn’t ends here. This new fully assembled iPhone 5 front screen brought a mysterious Square Shaped that is clearly visible on the top of the backside of the front panel. This square shaped hardware was a real mystery until the Japanese Blog; Macotakra reported that the square shaped hardware chip seems to be of NFC (Near Field Communication) Sensor.

The claim regarding the NFC Sensor looks legit according to the preceding confirmation made by BGR sources stating that the iPhone 5 would feature NFC Technology, 4G LTE, and a 4-inch screen.

Today, the NFC Technology chip that was spotted in the above leaked assembled front panel was closely examined by AnandTech. After examining the so-called NFC Chip, AnandTech simply declined the presence of NFC Sensor in the fully assembled leaked front panel of the iPhone 5 by saying:

Given the primarily metal backside of the new iPhone, it’s highly unlikely that NFC is in the cards for this generation. In fact, given the very little space at top and bottom dedicated to those glass RF windows, you can almost entirely rule it out.

Later on Jim Dalrymple, the Apple analyst connected with the iPhone 5 release supported the statement made by AnandTech with his traditional “YEP.” This means that we are not going to see a NFC Technology sort of feature in the upcoming iPhone. This NFC Technology feature predicted to be used with the iOS 6’s passbook feature that is still in Beta stages. However, Apple hasn’t commented or confirmed anything regarding the payment process via the Passbook in iOS 6. It is believed that they will use Bluetooth or QR Codes to make out the payments.

In addition to all the above rumors, leaks, confirmations, and reports, we personally believe that Apple should introduce NFC technology in the upcoming iPhone 5. If Apple needs to beat its competitors out then they should introduce NFC Technology in the upcoming iPhone 5. If they fail to introduce iPhone 5 NFC Technology, many of the Apple users might switch to its competitor’s Samsung Galaxy S III that is featuring NFC Technology in it and much more features.

Samsung Adds 4 Additional Colors to Galaxy S III, Launch at IFA 2012

After doing amazing sales by Samsung of its Galaxy S III Flagship, the Korean company has finally decided to move on with some additional color schemes for the handset made for humans and inspired by nature. The new color scheme is taken from the Earth’s finest colors starting from: Amber Brown, Garnet Red, Sapphire Black, and Titanium Grey. These are some of the new color schemes that will be introduced in the Galaxy S III Flagship by Samsung.

The colors are originated after getting inspiration by Nature. The phone embraces a pure and clear material on the back called Hyperglaze.

The Sapphire Black color in Samsung Galaxy S III Flagship was previously rumored to arrive in the U.K in about a month. After that rumor, a new news enclosed in stating that a Glossy Black Galaxy S III with 64GB of Capacity is in works. The targeted launch is set for October depending on the carriers that will provide the users with this new iconic color.

However, the Korean company also noticed that the obtainability of all the colors totally depends on your country and the carrier/retailer providing you with the latest colors or not. So, don’t expect all the colors landing at your place. The color scheme is directly proportional to the carriers/retailers.

Before the above iconic mentioned color scheme arrives at your local stores or with your carrier/retailers, we would like to share all the iconic color scheme Galaxy S III with color definition done by Samsung Tomorrow.

Lets start with the first color scheme of

Amber Brown:

Inspired by the mysterious and unique gem, which was believed to sustain the secrets of the earth inside it. The deep, rich colour of Amber Brown redefines the classic colour and emphasizes the beauty of the advanced organic design of the GALAXY S III.

Garnet Red:

Rare and special, the gemstone Almandite Garnet was worn as an amulet by the ancient Egyptians who believed the stone contained protective powers. Garnet Red holds the delicateness and elegance of Almandite Garnet, in line with the GALAXY S III’s soft curves and smooth lines.

Sapphire Black:

A colour that adds the mysterious power of dark stones to the refined, deep sophistication of the colour black, Sapphire Black is inspired by the stones used by the ancient people of India and Persia for protection, with the belief they strengthened one’s willpower.

Titanium Grey:

Inspired by the colour grey as a symbol for intelligence, insight and curiosity, all of which are embodied within the design of the GALAXY S III. Titanium Grey expresses the feeling of modernity and wisdom bringing a futuristic element to the handset.

Above posted are some stunning images of the Samsung Galaxy S III colors scheme coming on an unknown date. The Korean company hasn’t told about any official launch date regarding this new color scheme.

We hope the company announces this new color scheme today at the IFA Unpacked Event.

A part from all above the release details, what Samsung Galaxy S III colors did you liked the most? We personally liked the Garnet Red one, though we have a Pebble White Galaxy S III. Garnet Red Looks nice.

Danish Telecoms Stocking iPhone 5 NANO SIM Cards Prior to Announcement

The Danish Telecommunication Companies are stocking the iPhone 5 Nano SIM Cards before the iPhone 5 is released. The Danish Telecom companies are making the Nano SIM Cards based on the previous rumor suggesting the iPhone 5 to have a new SIM Card Slot that will be Nano. This rumor was leaked in preceding month when the SIM Frame of the iPhone 5 was leaked in wild. The leaked part of the iPhone 5 suggested a Nano SIM Card would be placed in the upcoming release of the iPhone by Apple.

This Nano SIM Card is not a new Technology or invented by Apple. This is the first time that any company is using Nano SIM Card Technology into their Smart Phones. This Nano SIM Card is just like a sister of the prevailing Micro SIM Card that is being used in iPhone 4/4S. The only difference between them is of the height. The Micro is smaller and the Nano is smaller than Micro.

You can see clear difference between the present Micro SIM Card and Nano SIM Card that is being produced by Danish Telecom and other cellular companies worldwide. Until now we have came across Danish Telecom of Denmark that is making these Nano SIM Cards to get ready for the upcoming iPhone 5 launch.

The official sources of Mobilsiden.dk states that:

Original:

“Vi har implementeret nano-SIM i vores systemer, så vi er sådan set klar, når der kommer produkter, der kan bruge denne kort-type,”

Google Translation:

“We have implemented nano-SIM in our systems, so we this is evident when there are products that can use this card type,”says sales director Michael Bech from Telia to Mobilsiden.dk.

The Nano SIM Card is predicted to be coming in the upcoming iPhone 5. The reason noted by ekstrabladet, for Nano SIM Card is Apple needs ample of space for the larger Battery in the iPhone 5.

So far, we only got a bucket full of rumors regarding the iPhone 5. We only know an unofficial date of the Media Event that was confirmed by various major sources and still needs to revealed by Apple. The Media Event is set for September 12. The same day, we will pour out the rumors from the filled bucket to store in rumors for future.

Thanks to Gokcan Yildirim for sharing this interesting piece of information with us.
