Purported iPhone 6 Parts Show Improved Speaker and New Vibrator Motor Design

More purported iPhone 6 parts have surfaced today, showing off sim card trays, touch ID home buttons, a rear embedded Apple Logo, an improved speaker and a new vibrator motor design.

The sim card trays and touch ID home buttons hint that Apple will be using the same colors as the iPhone 5s for the iPhone 6, including space gray, white/silver and white/gold. The images show a slightly curved sim card try, indicating that it was designed for the iPhone 6's new curved design. You can also see the Touch ID home button ring colors, which match the sim card trays.

In addition, we see the embedded Apple logo, which has previously surfaced. Apple has not used an embedded Apple logo on the iPhone since the original launch in 2007. However it has used embedded Apple logo's on certain iPad devices.


Finally, the latest set of photos show a larger, improved internal speaker as well as a new rectangular vibrator motor design. A larger speaker does not necessarily mean improved sound, but it is likely that Apple will improve the iPhone's speaker volume and sound quality. No word yet on why Apple decided to change the vibrator motor design, but we assume it is to accommodate internal changes on the upcoming device.

Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 6 in 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models on September 9, alongside a wearable device.
