I don't like the lack of the app on the Ipad.

Late last month, a photo surfaced showing what was claimed to be the iPhone 5 logic board with an A6 chip prominently displayed. There were some questions about the validity of the photo, but now a new pair of photos posted by HDblog.it [Google translation] show in greater detail not only the A6 chip but also other chips included on the logic board.

Beyond the A6, the new photos also show that the Qualcomm chip located opposite the nano-SIM tray from the A6 is indeed the MDM9615M modem, which has long been rumored as the chip to supply LTE compatibility for the iPhone 5. As noted in our forums, Apple's leaky search engine has also just revealed that the company will be posting a page addressing the new iPhone's LTE capabilities.
The other side of the logic board reveals flash memory from Hynix, as well as several other chips from the likes of Murata, Skyworks, and Avago supporting such functions as Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, power amplification, gyroscope/accelerometer, and more. Apple has been rumored to be cutting back on Samsung memory orders, but the presence of Hynix memory is not explicit proof of such a move given that Apple has long sourced memory from multiple suppliers as seen in teardowns showing memory from Samsung, Toshiba and others at various times.

GPRS, EDGE, EV-DO, HSPA, HSPA+, DC-HSDPA, and LTE support
HSPA+ is 21Mbps, DC-HSDPA is 42Mbps, and LTE is a max of 100.
New A6 chip. 2X faster CPU and 2x graphics compared to the A5. 22% smaller and more energy efficient.

So I guess no mention of NFC huh?
Must've been due to the aluminum back cover which would block the antenna. Oh well, I guess NFC won't be taking off as quickly for a while here in the states.

"iTunes, the world's most popular media player" should be "iTunes, the world's most bloated media player"
Hope they fixed that.

Question, I currently have iPhone4 with the unlimited data plan with AT&T, upgrading to a 2 year contract, my plan would be grandfathered, right???
Will they make met get a new plan since they are introducing 4G? If I'm not grandfathered, I aint getting the iPhone 5.

I was gonna go white this time around...but the black anodized backing is too sexy.
I really hope they didnt botch iTunes. I liked it a lot in its current form.
