iPhone repair site iResQ.com has posted photos [2] of the parts for the iPhone 4G [3] that will be released later this year.
As we can see, the most notable feature is a front panel, which is approximately 1/4” taller than the iPhone 3GS [4].
You can also notice the reflective surface on the new front panel that is located just above the earpiece slot. iResQ suggests it is a likely location for a proximity sensor, though that wouldn’t explain the need for the mirrored surface to be visible on the front of the device.
The LCD appears to be factory glued to the digitizer. This looks more like the iPhone 2G [5] than the 3G or 3GS, as the latest versions have a digitizer that can be separated from the LCD. This means for us that the 4G screen repair prices will be much higher since both parts will have to be replaced at once.
