HTC has posted a teaser image for its next generation smartphone that features components from a disassembled iPhone 6, reports AnandTech.

The flagship smartphone HTC teased is likely the HTC U12 which is expected to launch around now. The company posted what was presumably an image of the disassembled device to Twitter today with the following tweet:

"Coming Soon. A phone that is more than the sum of its specs."

HTC Teases New Smartphone With Photo of iPhone 6 Components

Caetronianus, an AnandTech reader who repairs phones for a living, recognized the components as belonging to the iPhone 6.

"That's an iPhone 6."
"I repair phones for a living, so iPhone components are very familiar to me."

Most of the components in the image, except for the SIM card tray, appear to belong to the iPhone 6. It's unclear if HTC intended to do this.

The company has yet to comment. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

I think there’s a little bit of a code there, one battery, one motherboard, one dock connector but two of everything else, and the lcd/digi flex connector is cut off. Interesting

Damn... another joke of a company. HTC has had its iPhone clones, not a surprise they can't stop loving it.

HTC teaser ad: “Our components are beautifully engineered to be better than the iPhone 6 but not their X (10). Coming this May 23, 2018.”

Maybe their components look ugly for marketing purposes. Lol
