On the right, the iPhone 4’s proximity light sensor. On the right? The same part in the iPhone 5. We’re getting pretty close to launch, boys and girls, but what does a part like this tell us about what the iPhone 5 will look like?
We asked iFixit’s Kyle Wiens about the differences. He noted that the corresponding iPhone 4 part (pictured above/right) contains the power button, noise canceling mic and proximity/ambient light sensors. The new iPhone 5 part doesn’t contain the mic, so it must be placed elsewhere on the iPhone 5.
Be patient, everyone! It’s coming!

I just paid $21.87 for an iPaad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $657 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, http://to.ly/aT8h
