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.

Mohombi It looks like that the phone is almost going to be just a screen?
I am 100% happy with the phone I've got and I doubt I will buy this one, but I will until they release some more intel on this. ;)
It looks like that it will break pretty easily seeming that the screen takes up most of the phone

Gws MOOOONNNEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Of course they do it for the money, why else would they make a 5s for?

KatsumiAngelBeatsFan What if they made a whole new phone, like a completely new phone with all new modifications. I'd find that interesting.
I agree, lately they have simply been making small improvements on their past products. I would like to see them roll out a whole new device
But people are willing to buy these little improvements so?

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.
Completely agreed. Waste of money anymore.

MoDOT What is a dual iphone? 2 for the price of 1 or not???
When they say dual iphone launch they are saying that there could be 2 iPhones released this coming fall.

Gossip iPhone 5S actually looks decent. Soon the whole phone is going to be a screen.
Maybe a little bit more of it but obviously not the whole phone. Yes, it does look nice.

pigKatsumiOnxTTG_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.
It didn't come out too long ago, so i wouldn't specifically call it dated. For some reason people tend to replace products before they are even a few years old
