iPhone 5 Proximity Sensor Potentially Leaked

SW-Box href="http://www.sw-box.com/Iphone-5-Proximity-Light-Sensor-Flex-Cable.html">say they have the iPhone 5 proximity sensor. I don’t really have the technological background to pick apart if this is legit, but here’s how SW-Box is describing it:

Micro-architectured to stand the tests of time and heat, this flex cable is evidence of solid engineering: dynamic light sensing diodes and high flow terminals allow it to properly pick up proximity for fully featured functionality at a surprisingly low cost. Each cable comes with the necessary adhesive strips so they can be pressed down into the iPhone 5 back plate for easy DIY iPhone 5 fixing.

Unfortunately, they don’t have any iPhone 4 proximity cables on hand to do a quick visual comparison, but I believe it looks href="http://www.diytrade.com/china/4/products/6983572/Wholesale_iPhone_4_Proximity_Sensor_flex_cable_Replacement_for_Apple_iPhone_4.html">a little like this. As you can tell, there’s a definite redesign internally, with some parts being shuffled around.
