You won't find that information here, there are no Apple engineers here and opening your iPhone voids your warranty. I am assuming you are referring to the internal earpiece.

Yes, earpiece. I understand the warranty issues but I did the measurements on a replacement part from ifixit or similar. On-line teardown photos clearly illustrate the difference between iP5 and iP5s & iP6 speaker modules. Just incredibly curious about the purpose of the second voice coil and figured someone here might know.
I believe the terms of service for this forum preclude discussing unauthorized repairs.
No, they don't.

Speculation about future Apple products or services is not allowed on this forum.
However, many companies plan ahead for compatibility with future products, services or hardware. For example, there was an expansion slot designed into the original Nintendo Entertainment System, but that expansion slot was never used. The designers put it there just in case they decided to use it in the future.
It happens all the time. But until the company tells you what to use it for, it's just... there. In short, don't worry about it. Consider it to be a GNDN item until Apple tells us otherwise.
My mistake...I stand corrected. So, how do I get the back off of my iPhone?
That would depend on which model iPhone you have. But when people ask such a question I refer them to http://www.ifixit.com since they have both video and photo guides and a good forum for asking questions.
Thanks...I was just kidding. I have no desire to void the warranty on my new iPhone 6! 😁
Why does iPhone 6 earpiece speaker have four terminals?
