iPhone 5S to launch next year with iPad mini 2 in tow
Apple will launch its iPhone 5S smartphone early next year, according to a report.
It is thought that trial production of the iPhone 5S could happen as early as next month, according to Digitimes. Volume is likely to be between 50,000 and 100,000 with a possible release during early 2013. See also: iPhone 5 review.
"Facing low yield rates in the production of iPhone 5, Apple has accelerated the certification processes for related parts and components for the iPhone 5S" said Digitimes.
Full blown production of the iPhone 5S is expected in the first quarter of next year. We would be surprised if Apple launched the next generation iPhone so soon after launching the iPhone 5. Announcing the iPhone 5S in June or later would seem more likely.

Apple will also release a new version of the iPad a few months after the iPhone 5S, "since the display resolution of its latest version of iPad has come out lower than expected" said Digitimes suggesting an iPad mini 2.

Broomcin110 said: Im beginning to believe them - I do think that Apple is coming out too quick with too much and there is really not an improvement or upgrade to anything they are selling It is just cool to have the latest and greatest I just bought my 1st iPhone and dont look to replace it any time soon It does enough and cost me enough
Chheangly Yea said: What a false report This rumour is definitely to harm Apple The rivals are trying to confuse the customers Dont believe this at all By the way the picture of iPhone 5 in the article is a fake iPhone made in China
Smile said: Just how credible are these reports Are all these rumors are placed by people wishing to put buyers off of buying the latest Apple products in the hope that something newer will come along perhaps
