Apple will launch 128GB iPhone 5S

16 August, 2013 

It is all but certain that Apple will be unveiling two new iPhone models, iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, onSeptember 10. Both devices have been leaked numerous times and have provided us some valuable information and now, we have an interesting prediction from a popular analyst, who claims that Apple will be launching a 128 GB model of iPhone 5S.

According to KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will also be selling its iPhone 5S with a whopping 128 GB of storage. If the predictions from the analyst, who has been quite accurate in the past, turn out to be true, then iPhone 5S will be the second Apple product after iPad 4 to feature the massive storage capacity.

The 128 GB model of the iPhone 5S would cost $499 (on contract) under the Apple's current pricing scheme.

Ming-Chi Kuo also expects the upcoming iPhone to be powered by a new A7 chip that features 1 GB of LPDDR3 RAM. The latest chip is said to be built on the ARMv8 architecture and will be 20% more energy efficient than previous A6 SoC.

The analyst also confirms that the iPhone 5S will indeed house an upgraded camera with bright F/2.0 aperture and dual-LED flash. This means that the iPhone 5S camera should have better low-light performance than the previous models.

Lastly, Apple is also expected to unveil a gold color option for the iPhone 5S in addition to the classical Black and White paintjobs.

Photos of Apple iPhone 5S chassis components surface

14 August, 2013 

There are plenty of rumors going around about the iPhone 5S, including things like a dual-LED flash and a fingerprint scanner. Now, leaked components of the next-gen iPhone show changes to the top of the back and around the home button, which might be due to the inclusion of just those components.

Another noticeable change in the components is that the mounting points for the motherboard have been moved around slightly. It seems to fit the previously leaked images of the back just right, but of course, none of these changes guarantee that we will see a more powerful flash or a fingerprint reader.

There was some talk of a 4.3" screen too, but neither the front nor the back pieces of the alleged iPhone 5S chassis seem to support that. Here's a better look at the front and the home button assembly.

The Apple iPhone 5S along with its lower-cost sibling, the iPhone 5C, will be unveiled on September 10 and released on October 25 if the rumors are to be believed.
