A never-used before Apple component leaks out, is it for a cheaper upcoming iPhone?

A part that is allegedly for an Apple device but never before used in an Apple product has leaked out and it might be the first real confirmation of Apple’s rumored plans to brings a more affordable iPhone to the market.

A dual-head vibration motor was photographed by iLab factory and it is said that the component will be used in an upcoming affordable iPhone.

Rumors so far have circled around the possibility of Apple introducing two iPhones this year. The first one is expected to be the iPhone 5S, the usual yearly update to the iPhone lineup. What’s more interesting is the theory that Apple is preparing another, more affordable iPhone to cater to developing markets.

Nothing is official just yet, but here is the part in question, take a look.

You 'push switch' the button against the 'dual-head' and it vibrates your 'senser'. By the way, whoever typed in those names might have been too focused on the vibrator that (s)he forgot the spelling of sensor.

I did a bluetooth file transfer this morning from a 6 year old phone.... Maybe Apple will bless their phones with customers with old technology.

A component never before seen in an appfail device? I'm guessing it's "integrity".
