Sonny Dickson got his hands on some pictures in which the ?mysterious? chip shielding in the front assembly of the iPhone 5 was peeled back.
So what was underneath? The rumored, then discredited, NFC chip? A fingerprint sensor to go along with Apple?s recent, hasty acquisition of Authentec?
Nope, it?s definitely not either of those, but no one still knows for sure. The chances are, though, it?s nothing very exotic, but a required silion to make the new iPhone?s In-Cell touchscreen work.
