(Credit: Apple) MacRumors claims new photos allegedly of the iPhone 5S show a tweaked rear shell and the phone's internals. The only really notable change from earlier peeks that the photos reveal of the iPhone 5S rear shell (at bottom) is a larger LED flash. Note that alleged iPhone 5S rear shell images have appeared as far back as December of last year. The iPhone 5S -- a device that's widely rumored and expected, though Apple has said zilch about such a product -- is also expected to boast a higher-resolution camera. Earlier reports have indicated that it may sport a 12-megapixel camera with improved low-light mode. MacRumors also posted purported photos of the main logic board -- matching previous leaked images -- showing a new layout for components.
