comparing pictures ones of logic boards cdma , gsm iphone 4 models seen in teardowns ifixit (see steps 13 , 14), interesting note new logic board carries form factor more similar of cdma iphone 4 sim-card slot squeezed onto board. inclusion of sim-card slot on new logic board has resulted in reshuffling of chip locations on front of board, while side remains quite similar cdma iphone 4 logic board.

notably, relatively large area on front of logic board designed house main processor device rectangular in nature on new board, suggesting designed rectangular a5 system-on-a-chip found in ipad 2 rather square a4 chip found in iphone 4 , original ipad. apple of course expected use a5 in iphone 5, there has been question whether apple step a5 cheaper iphone 4s model or continue use a4 in order hold costs down.

iphone 5 expected "world-mode" phone capable of running on both gsm , cdma networks. presence of sim-card slot on new logic board indeed confirm gsm compatibility device, whether iphone 5 or 4s, , cdma compatibility come inclusion of specific chip supporting dual standards. such chip qualcomm already used on cdma iphone 4, accommodation similar chip on new logic board can not confirmed given board unlabeled.

1 of more prominent differences in actual logic board form factor between gsm , cdma iphone 4 semicircular cutout @ bottom of board. cutout fits around new circular vibrator used in cdma version, change vibrator used in gsm version. presence of cutout on new logic board suggests apple continue use circular vibrator found in cdma iphone 4.
