More "evidence" for dual iPhone launch in September?
According to their "very credible and serious source"
'The next-generation iPhone will be according to our information on 6 September come on the market. In addition to that day, “two new types of devices” to be available – and thus are not two different color variations or memory meant. This information can reach us from a very credible and serious source.'
If you can get past the hilarious translation courtesy of Google, then we can assume that the website is talking about two iPhones, the 5S and the plastic variant that's intended for the lower end market, which is expected to come in a range of colors.
The image below, added to the KnowYourMobile article shows a few spec differences between the current iPhone 5 and 5S, noticeable differences is the screen for the 5S at 4.2" with a different screen resolution and PPI, although the dimensions remain the same for both devices.
The next generation iPhone 5S, allegedly also comes with a bigger battery, 2GB of RAM, dual LED flash and iOS7, while the plastic variant is widely expected to be based on the current iPhone 5, in terms of technology.
Of course you'll need to take this rumor with a fistful of salt, because Jim Dalrymple of The Loop has already "Nope'd" the 6 September launch date, making iFuns "credible" source looking much less credible.
One way or the other, we'll all find out sometime in September.
In another addition to the abundance of iPhone leaks and rumours flooding tech sites in the past weeks, packaging for a cheaper, plastic iPhone has been revealed, touting the name 'iPhone 5C'. This name would make sense, considering that Apple's latest generation high-end smartphone will likely be branded 5S, to fit in with previous years.
Most interesting about these cases, revealed on the WeiPhone forums, is their shape and material. The rounded white plastic matches the leaked casings we have seen many of recently, and still matches Apple's minimal aesthetics. In the past, however, Apple has opted for cardboard boxes for their iPhones, but perhaps they are too expensive to produce for a cheap device like this.
There has been some debate over what the 'C' could stand for in the name. Rumours of colourful iPhones point us towards the name 'iPhone Colour', although 'Cheap' may also be a viable, albeit a tasteless alternative. Could this be a phone limited by region, known as the 'iPhone China'? Tim Cook recently spoke out about the importance of China to Apple:
I continue to believe that in the arc of time China is a huge opportunity for Apple, and I don't get discouraged over a 90-day kind of cycle that can have economic factors and other things in it
Apple recently announced that they sold 31.2 million iPhones, a record figure, in the June quarter. More iPhone models would undoubtedly add to this number quite considerably.

buddamen124 Apple is going down the drain ever since Steve died, there's no new innovation at all for theses phones and wished there was actually something totally brand new that we've never seen before. If that were true I might decide to buy it but apple lost my vote.
Exactly, that is the real problem with Apple, No New Innovations

With my luck, if I got the iPhone 5s on day 1, it would be broken before I leave the store.

What if they made a whole new phone, like a completely new phone with all new modifications. I'd find that interesting.

KatsumiOnxTTG_Tman hmm to upgrade from 4s to 5s or wait for the 6...
I'd say wait for the 6, it will probably have more features :)
I suggest keeping the 4S for a while longer.. There really isn't anything wrong with it.
Tbh, The 4s is pretty dated phone, I wouldn't recommend it.

If Apple are to release two iPhones it will most likely be so that they can release the more expensive iPhone for more than they normally do!
