iPhone 4th Gen Parts Found – Taller?

Some interesting photos came to light earlier this week, further stoking the rumor mill. iPhone repair site iResQ claims to have gotten their hands on parts for the fourth generation iPhone.

It hasn’t been confirmed that these parts are authentic yet but take a look at the images below, they look real enough. The following observations have been made from looking at these images;

1) The LCD appears to be factory glued to the digitizer which is more similar to the first generation iPhones than the iPhone 3G and 3GS. The digitizer can be separated from the LCD on the 3G and 3GS models, which should be interesting to all, but for the repair folks like us–this means that the 4G screen repair price will be higher since both parts will have to be replaced at once.

2) The iPhone 4G front panel seems to be about 1/4″ longer than its predecessors.

3) There is an interesting reflective, mirror-like surface directly above the speaker. This is likely a spot for the proximity sensor. If that’s what is is, it’s in a different location than previous models.

As we draw ever closer to the impending unveiling of the 4th gen iPhone around March/April, images like these are going to come thick and fast.
