New iPhone Glass Compared To The iPhone 4S. Larger, and Very Scratch Resistant.

Posted August 3, 2012 at 12:42 pm by Charlie Pryor in iDevice

As the above states, the video you see here is a side-by-side comparison of parts that have been leaked for the new iPhone which is said to be coming this fall. Apple is almost always as secret as possible with information regarding their latest product developments, but that doesn’t mean their suppliers are as tight-lipped.

While there is really no way for us at this time to verify that it’s actually the real part, the design specifications are on par with what Apple would do.

Even if it’s not the case, and it’s another fake (like so many are from Asia), it’s still quite likely that a larger display is coming. Will you buy an iPhone with a larger display?

The precise measurement comparison between the two are as follows:

1. Size:
iPhone 4s: Height: 76.65mm Width: 51.60mm Display area: 3.6 inches Thickness: 0.9mm
iPhone 5: Height: 90.25mm Width: 51.60mm Display area: 4.065 inches Thickness: 1.00mm

2. Transmittance: iPhone 5 is better compared with iPhone 4s

3. The camera hole of iPhone 5 glass lens moves from the left side to the right middle above the receiver.

4. The light sensor hole moves from the top to the left side of receiver. Also, it becomes very small.

5. Home button
The diameter of home button hole of iPhone 5 glass lens is narrowed 0.3mm. That is to say the iPhone 5 home button will become smaller and the iPhone 4S home button will not fit for iPhone

6. Anti scratch ability:
The anti-scratch ability of iPhone 5 is better than iPhone 4s
