  • Hey YouTube, it's ICU

  • and today I'm excited to bring you a quick unboxing in depth HD look

  • In comparison between an all new iPhone 6

  • leaked back housing component straight from Apple's supply chain in China

  • And the company's current flagship iPhone 5S

  • This video is brought to you in part by Free App Life

  • Where paid apps, gift cards and electronic devices

  • are available for free

  • Stick around to the end of this video for more information on Free App Life

  • As well as my upcoming iPhone giveaway

  • Now, without any further ado,

  • let's begin the quick unboxing process of this component

  • I'm cutting through all of the tape that's surrounding the Styrofoam box

  • And lifting the lid of set box reveals numerous pieces of bubble wrap

  • That are actually protecting another piece of bubble wrap

  • Which has the actual component embedded inside

  • To undoubtedly protected during its track from China

  • Now, between this piece of packaging, we have the actual iPhone 6 housing

  • Which has been sealed into an antistatic bag

  • that has a block over the Apple logo

  • to ensure that it would make it here successfully

  • And now, let's switch views and get a closer look

  • At the part when compared to the corresponding component from last year's iPhone 5S

  • Which I obtained after my exclusive coverage on the 5 pre-released iPhone 5C shells

  • Now, while most differences are immediately noticeable

  • Let's compare the shells top to bottom

  • And probably the most noticeable difference is

  • the relocation of the power and lock button to the side of the iPhone 6

  • Presumably to accommodate the larger display

  • Allowing easier access to the button for most

  • Now, on the back, the camera, noise cancelling microphone and the flash cutouts are in the same sequence

  • However, instead of the pill shaped true-toned dual LED flash system

  • that was introduced with the iPhone 5S

  • The iPhone 6 component features a circular cutout for the flash module

  • While the purpose of this particular shift isn't fully clear at this point in time

  • And it appears as though it's a step backwards for Apple

  • I'll further discuss the topic in part 2 of this video

  • On the left of the device, as foreseen on the 5th generation iPod Touch

  • followed by the iPad Mini, iPhone 5C

  • and finally the iPad Air

  • It appears as though the volume rocker buttons for the iPhone 6

  • will receive Apple's soon to be consistent pill shaped buttons

  • And above the rocker, we have cutouts for the mute toggle

  • In the middle, some thing's changed between components for iPhone generations, the Apple logo

  • Now we'll go more into depth during a segment on the topic in this video's sequel

  • As well as provide inside information from my supplier

  • and comparisons between Apple logo for a leaked back housing for other Apple products

  • I wanted to briefly highlight the differences

  • First and foremost, the iPhone 5S component

  • featured a metal Apple logo that was pre-embedded by this stage of production

  • The iPhone 6 component is lacking the same treatment

  • And a closer look at the inside reveals a strangely shaped recess

  • that simply hasn't existed on previous back housings

  • And speaking of this stage of production,

  • because I received this iPhone 6 back housing so early

  • It doesn't have the same imprinted iPhone moniker on it

  • That the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C leaked components that I received from last year had

  • Continuing our look at the inside of the shells,

  • you'll notice while the screw types have remained the same

  • The position for the points for mounting internal components have shifted radically

  • When looking at the mounting positions for another iPhone 5C shell as well as for the iPhone 5S

  • They all have 3 primary anchor bases on the right of the interior of the housing

  • Suggesting not only a significant physical redesign

  • But also an equally drastic internal design shift

  • Flipping over to the back momentarily,

  • you'll notice that it got now the glass and internally plastic windows

  • That easily allow for communication signals, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,

  • and cellular data to pass through the otherwise all metal enclosure

  • And have been replaced with what some consider to be extraordinarily thick plastic windows

  • that span the width of the device

  • And attach internally to the plastic top and bottom sections

  • Just like on the corresponding component for the iPhone 5S

  • Moreover, the thicker bands fit in perfectly with other rumors circulating as of late

  • That suggest the iPhone 6 may feature 802.11ac Wi-Fi and NFC

  • The latter being the less likely of the two possible editions

  • But either way, the thick improved brakes or bands

  • definitely suggest the next generation iPhone will utilize more intensive signals

  • Wrapping up this comparison with a look at the bottom

  • The 3.5mm headphone jack and lightning connector cutouts

  • have remained mostly the same, but that's about it

  • The grills for the microphone and speaker

  • have shockingly departed from the iPhone 5 and 5S design

  • Like the volume rocker, in favor of something that more closing matches other mobile devices in Apple's iOS lineup
