New photos allegedly of the iPhone 5S clearly shows it's internal components, a dual-LED flash, and possibly a new A7 chip, reports MacRumors. The site received the photos below as follow up to photos previously posted which showed the interior and rear exterior of the upcoming device.

As seen in one photo, the chip carries an Apple model number of APL0698, suggesting that this is indeed intended to be branded as an A7 chip rather than a modification on the A6 chip found in the iPhone 5. The original A6 chip carried a model number of APL0598, with the A6X found in the fourth-generation iPad carrying an APL5598 model number, demonstrating how Apple varies the first digit for members of a given A-series family and increments the second digit when transitioning to a new family.

Other features noticeable include 1GB of Elpida DRAM, a dual-LED flash, and a main chip identifier of K1A0062. Previous chips had a number that started with N. It's suggested that perhaps this chip was produced by TSMC instead of Samsung.

MacRumors was also able to determine that the device was assembled in December 2012 making it a very early prototype.

Apple is expected to release the iPhone 5S this fall.

Nice oblique picture of the new camera. Also why cover up SN on the last picture but not on screenshot of inside? F2LJF1... I hope the camera improvement is better than "we totally redisigned the camera lens cover for better picture quality."

I won't purchase it until its jailbroken. Just like I did with my iPhone 5 . I waited until the jailbreak came out.

ye, you buy it only when jailbreak is out, and probably you will get a updated version of the iOS which might be some you can't actually jailbreak... Smart persons should just buy the phone when it gets out if the plan is to jailbreak so that you will have (in this case) iOS 7.0

I am with you bro. No point buying an iPhone 5S unless it can be jailbroken
