Check out these high quality photos that compare the alleged digitizer and lcd screen assembly of the iPhone 5S with that of the iPhone 5.
The part photos were originally posted some time ago but have resurfaced on various sites today.
Notice the different in ribbon cables and screw placement which indicates modifications to the logic board. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the photos that confirms rumored features such as a fingerprint scanner.

Forget that. I got rid of my iPhone 5 expecting that rumored fingerprint scanner. Maybe the iPhone 6 will have it and again Apple will be late when Samsung releases one with a finger scanner.

I thought about that myself but nothing beats idevices working with AppleTV through airplay , no one else made that possible yet or atleast as easy and smooth operation.

The surface that's going to be discontinued all together in 6 months. Have fun with that. Look at microsofts track record with products. The kin for example. Do you really trust them? Their products are junk.

I gotta upgrade my 5 to the 5s. That ribbon cable is impressive.

Further reassuring me that buying the HTC One and ditching Apple was the right decision.
From iPhone to HTC One and from iPad to Windows Surface Pro 8... couldn't be happier.
