(Reuters) - An Australian teenager who has built an online following by leaking pictures of upcoming Apple Inc products has done it again, showing off the purported fingerprint scanner of the latest iPhone ahead of its expected launch next week.
Sonny Dickson, who lives with his parents in suburban Melbourne, attracted attention in August after he released detailed pictures and videos of the new grey and champagne casing on the upcoming iPhone.

Dickson told Reuters he has five to 10 sources in China who buy Apple prototype parts directly from factory-line workers, which are then sold from $250 to $500.
His sources then send him photos and videos of the parts, which are posted under his name on his website and YouTube channel, which generate ad revenue.

Initially communicating via Weibo, a Chinese microblogging service, Dickson said he and his suppliers moved to a secret website to discuss business.

"I've been doing this for many years, so I know what looks fake and what's not," said Dickson, a high school graduate with a penchant for luxury iphone accessories such as watches that pepper his photos on the online Instagram service.
"I trust what they say to me - but I also back up the story with other people to make sure what I'm posting is legit."


Spending 12 hours a day maintaining his website, Dickson said his blog views spiked to a million hits last month, making him A$2,000 ($1,850) from web traffic in August.
"Most of the traffic is from the U.S. - I've had 590 hits from Apple and about 53 from U.S. Homeland Security in August," said Dickson, noting he had tracked IP addresses from Washington D.C. and Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California.

While Dickson denies he is breaking any laws, experts are not so sure, for more; link to post

A video by Lewis Hilsenteger of Unbox Therapy has popped up on YouTube showing what the new iPad case will look like: smaller, flatter and sleeker, but with the same 9.7-inch display.

Its case is more in line with the cases of the iPad Mini and iPod Touch in form factor, with the brushed aluminium back that Apple prefers for the iPad. Gone are the gently curved edges; instead, it favours the flat, squared design of the iPad Mini.

Apple has also shaved some width off the bezel, while maintaining screen size — it comes in at just 17 centimetres wide, compared to the iPad 4's 18.5 centimetres. It's large enough for Hilsenteger to wrap his hand around, although your mileage may vary.


The speakers and buttons have also changed. Apple has opted for two volume buttons rather than a rocker, and two speakers on the bottom edge, one on either side of the charging port.
