iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 Release Date Soon Based on Parts Supply
iPhone 6 or iPhone 5S release date could be soon, depending on supply chain
We are keeping a close eye on iPhone 5S or iPhone 6
release dates as we anticipate a summer release. That would put it
ahead of its now usual fall schedule, but based on rumors coming from
parts supply chains, the iPhone 5S/iPhone 6 could end up back with a
fall launch since reports say production would begin around July.
Chinese partners and manufacturers are just waiting for parts in the
supply chain, and there may be a very small chance that there will be
two iPhones launching at once.
One of the two could be a cheaper iPhone, which is the recurring theme every single year. Could the iPhone 5S be the cheaper model while the iPhone 6 is the new flagship? Generally, the cheaper iPhone tends to be an 8GB or 16GB model of the previous year's iPhone. So if there were to be an iPhone 5S and iPhone 6 launch, it would change that normal course. I'd anticipate an iPhone 5S with the iPhone 5 at 16GB selling for around $99 if we're to go with Apple's history.
Earlier today the rumor said that the cheaper iPhone would have plastic parts, which is a little hard to believe, but not beyond the realm of reality. It's not like Apple hasn't used plastic before with its 3G and 3GS models.
Then there is the whole business about an iPhone 6 launching. We've heard plenty of rumors and speculation talking about its camera, retina display and other parts, but historically, Apple has launched an "S" version of the iPhone following a new iteration of the device. This would mean that an iPhone 5S is far more likely than an iPhone 6 launch this year. We've even mentioned it in an article before: it's not likely to happen any time before summer 2014.
But if you insist on keeping an eye on the latest and greatest and unreleased model, we have a page where we constantly update any news and tidbits we get for the iPhone 6, so check it out and keep it bookmarked.
