Even as the
excitement from the release of the iPhone 5 has yet to subside, a new report
has hinted at the possible release of the latest model of the smartphone
offering of Apple. According to a China-based website, the iPhone 5S of Apple
will be released into the market in the first half of the coming year.
According to
the report, around five to ten million iPhone 5S units will be manufactured in
December and will be available early next year. Sources within the industry
supposedly provided the information on the report, which can be taken with a
grain of salt since Apple normally has a one-year interval when it releases a
new model for its products.
In addition
to the reported iPhone 5S, the company will reportedly introduce a new iPad and
the iTV in the coming year. Although the name ‘iPhone 5S’ may possibly be used
by Apple for its next model of the device, the accuracy of the report
particularly in connection to the supposed release schedule of the iPhone 5S
appears doubtful.
Although the
report did not specify what kind of device the iTV will be, earlier reports had
hinted of the device that the name will be used on. A number of reports had
pointed to the possibility of an Apple TV that will be named iTV while other
have hinted of a new Apple TV set-top device, which is used as a DVR while
facilitating cable programming.
The website
has indicated that Apple had reportedly passed some samples to regulators on
order to get certification and begin the mass-production of the reported Apple
iPhone 5S.
Even as
industry watchers have doubts on the veracity of the report on the supposed
iPhone 5S, if it is proven to be accurate, it will be a major shift from the
traditional release schedule of Apple for its products. The shift may have been
prompted by the increasing competition that the company is facing in the
smartphone market.
