Photos reveal next-gen iPhone sensors, display shielding

There won't be much element of surprise at Apple's next iPhone media event, with even more component parts surfacing online Thursday.

The latest leaks reveal sensors, buttons and covers for the sixth-generation iPhone, which Apple is expected to debut during a media event September 12.

Seemingly out of nowhere, images surfaced from a website called iColorOS, which showed a number of parts rumor enthusiasts have already seen plus a few ones poking out for the first time.

Metal mystery

Included as part of the images is a thin sheet of metal, presumably used as protective EMI shielding for the back of the handset, which is widely rumored to arrive with a longer four-inch display this year.

Although the true nature of the mysterious piece of metal is unknown at this time, it gives a glimpse into what a larger iPhone might look like.

Unfortunately, the iColorOS website appears to have gone down, redirecting to a splash screen for OS X Lion Server.

With all of the next-gen iPhone component leaks flying back and forth, it seems like just a matter of time until a fully assembled unit finally sneaks out.
