iPhone 5C logic board reportedly leaks, not dissimilar to iPhone 5
Judging by leaked photos this weekend, Apple isn't making too many internal changes for the iPhone 5C handset, in order to keep build costs down
If you're into this sort of thing, the photo above purportedly shows the front and back of the forthcoming iPhone 5C's logic board component.
The photos, which have emerged on Chinese social networking site Weibo and picked up by AppleInsider, show a component extremely similar to the equivalent part of the current iPhone 5. According to the report, there are only a few 'slight tweaks.'
Although it's difficult to read too much into the leaked photo, the consensus seems to be that this means that the internals for the so-called budget iPhone 5C device will be kept similar to the iPhone 5 for the purpose of keeping the cost down.
Recent reports and leaks have suggested the iPhone 5C will also have a plastic case in a multitude of bright colours, which should also enable Apple to sell the device for less than its premium iPhone 5S handset.
It seems almost certain that Apple will unleash the iPhone 5C at its launch event on September 10 at its Cupertino campus.
The phone is thought to be landing in the UK on September 27, a week after the iPhone 5S launch, giving Apple the opportunity to enjoy two successive weekends of big sales, rather than bundling both releases into one queue-inducing few days.
Speculation has suggested the device will have an 8-megapixel camera andcost anywhere between £230 and £320 depending on the storage space.
