iPhone 5S Release Date Rumor Roundup

Welcome the the iOS Doc iPhone 5S release date rumor roundup. Here we will try to gather all the rumors regarding the release date and specs of the next iPhone model. Stay tuned as we are constantly updating this article as soon as new information surfaces.

While many of you only think at the new iPhone 5, where to buy, search for great deals and make holiday gift plans, we are here to tell you that rumors regarding the iPhone 5S begin to surface. According to our sources the production of the new iPhone 5s will start? as early as January 2013. We are encouraged by the early surface of other Apple models like the iPad 4 and of course iPad Mini which seen the stores shelves just 8 months after the iPad 3 was released. This Apple marketing tactic could surprise us with a new iPhone 5S much faster than we imagined.

iPhone 5S Release Date

If we were to analyze the recent Apple release schedule the release date for iPhone 5s could be somewhere in the Spring of 2013.

According to the Comercial Times website, approximately 70.000 iPhone 5S units will exit Apple production lines somewhere in Q1 2013.

Although these claims can be considered nothing but good news by many, these rumors are not likely to be 100% accurate considering that the iPhone 5 has not seen enough shelf life until now yet. Regardless to say that Apple profits are still rising considering that the new iPhone model has not reached all foreign markets just yet. Switching form a one year upgrade process to a 6-8 months one with a release of iPhone 5s in Q2 2013, Apple will definitely surprise us all.

According to Digitimes, the iPhone 5S release date will be postponed and will not reach consumers earlier than the next summer or early fall. “Apple is expected to introduce its next-generation iPad and iPhone series around the middle of 2013… Component orders placed by Apple, which climbed to high levels prior to the iPhone 5 rollout, will rise again between March and April, the observers indicated.”

iPhone 5S Rumor Roundup

Other sources state that Apple may rush iPhone 5S production due to the low output rates of the iPhone 5 at Foxonn. It seems that the parts that you all love inside the iPhone 5 are so fragile that many of the break very easily and some don’t even make it several hours after the production process.

Although Apple has a wonderful holiday product line that includes the iPhone 5, the iPad 4 and the iPad Mini, it does not mean that the company has stopped working and started resting on the laurels of success. If we were to take look in the past the next generation of iPhone will be named iPhone 5S and will pack as we were all accustomed to, a better display, a more potent camera, a bigger random access memory capacity and of course a faster CPU and graphics core. As the winter holidays are approaching? parts of the new iPhone 5S are begging to leak. It is the case of the supposed new back plate of the new iPhone 5S that surfaced with the help of the ETrade Supply.

We can not help to mention that the rumored back plate is very similar to the one we say today on the iPhone 5. This has not surprised us much if we were to think at iPhone 4 and 4S.

MacRumors also stated that? ” This iPhone 5S part is, however, somehow different from the iPhone 5 models in many ways, the mose noticeable fact being the arrangement of the screw holes for attaching the iPhone 5s logic board.

Below you can see the actual 2 back plates:

I am sure your eye notice the essential differences between the screw layout of the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 5S (in the left).

On the other hand, I wouldn’t bet this will be the actual back plate of the iPhone 5S. You will ask me, why not? There are 2 reasons for that. The first one is the actual source of the photo remains unknown and the secondly, this part could be just an?alternate design of iPhone 5 back plate that was tested by Apple.

What do you think? Should the iPhone 5S be released this summer?
