The PCB seems slightly different compared to a previously leaked part

A while ago, an alleged iPhone 5S motherboard got leaked in photos, and it seemed to align perfectly with leaked cases. Another one is making the rounds today.

But this one’s a bit different. Which means one of these two motherboards (if accurate, of course) is for the rumored low-cost iPhone, while the other is for the iPhone 5S. Since neither printed circuit board (or PCB) has any chips on it, it’s hard to say which is which.

I mean, in all fairness, the applications processor slot shown in this picture could hold a next-generation A7 chip, but it could just as well house a custom-tailored A6 for the rumored plastic iPhone.

Nothing new under the sun as they say, but I’m compelled to report on these leaks for consistency reasons. We wouldn’t want to miss out on any potential tidbit that might just turn out accurate.
