iPhone 5S Release Date Sept. 6? Bigger Screens For iPhone And iPad? This Week In Apple Rumors
This is an early look at what
appears to be the casing of the lower cost Apple iPhone (now known as
the iPhone 5C), presumably intended to slot below the iPhone 5 and 5S
and replace the 4/4S. The iPhone 5C and the 5S are expected to debut
around September 2013.
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to This Week In Apple
Rumors, our regular look at unconfirmed gossip and questionably sourced
reports radiating from Cupertino. This week we heard speculation about
an early September iPhone 5S release date, bigger iPhone and iPad
displays, and what Apple may be building for cars. And we saw a video of
what some believe is the plastic case for a new, less expensive iPhone. So without further ado, here's This Week in Apple Rumors.
Sept. 6 iPhone 5S Release Date
The iPhone 5S may be just over a month away. Cult of Mac relayed a report from the German blog iFun
that says the next iPhone will be "coming to market" on Sept. 6. iFun
cites a very credible source "to be taken seriously," according to a
HuffPost translation.
If true, the release would come a bit earlier in the year than
previous versions of the iPhone to hit the market. The iPhone 5 was
unveiled on Sept. 12 of last year and went on sale in the U.S. nine days
later. The iPhone 4S was announced on Oct. 4, 2011, and went on sale in
the U.S. 10 days later.
The site also said to expect "two new device types, and this doesn't
mean two different color or memory variations." Hmmm ... could it be two
different screen sizes?
Bigger iPhone and iPad Displays
On Monday, The Wall Street Journal rekindled earlier reports that Apple is testing bigger screens
for its iPhone and iPad. While the size of the rumored iPhone screen is
unclear, the WSJ said Apple asked its suppliers "for screen designs for
a new tablet measuring slightly less than 13 inches." The iPad has a 9.7-inch display and the iPhone 5 has a 4-inch display.
Apple finally took Donald Trump's advice, said Donald Trump.
Plastic iPhone Case (On Video!)
There have been rumors for months that Apple is working on a cheaper version of its iPhone that would have a rear casing made of plastic. Michael Kukielka, a.k.a. DetroitBORG, says he got his hands on the casing (thanks to Sonny Dickson), and made a video.
DetroitBORG calls it "a merger" of the iPhone 3GS and the iPod touch.
It's thicker than the iPod touch and bit wider than the iPhone 5, and
has the 4-inch display of the iPhone 5.
