Latest Weibo leak shows supposed 4.7-inch iPhone screen backlight part

Weibo is continuing to be the source of unverified iPhone 6 leaks. This time, user “顾Gooey” has published some photos that he claims to represent display backlight components for the next-generation iPhone with a 4.7-inch screen. These parts appear similarly structured to the iPhone 5S and 5C version of the backlight component, meaning that the forum poster is either passing off the current-generation part as next-generation or that there is something legitimate about the components. The iPhone 6 is rumored to come in both 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch sizes, and it will run iOS 8, include a more efficient A8 processor, and likely feature a 1704 x 960 display with a sharper pixel density. Another unverified backlight component photo, below, from Weibo:

    If works and is a better solution, why not.

    I thought the iPhone had an edge backlit display, this seems to be a full display backlight which is nice.

    I don’t think they will have the huge bezels seen in all the mock ups, what if it’s actually 4.8 as originally speculated. I haven’t seen a mock up with that size.
