New iPhone 5S this summer?

March 6, 2013 - 14:53 By Korea Herald
The next iPhone, likely to be dubbed the iPhone 5S, will arrive this summer, probably in August, an Apple-watching website reported.

The website iMore, citing “sources familiar with the plans,” said the 5S will retain the form factor and size of the iPhone 5 but will be equipped with an improved camera and an advanced processor.

The source also said Apple could also be releasing an updated line of iPads, including an iPad 5 and a second generation of the smaller iPad Mini even earlier, possible in April, PC Magazine reported Tuesday.

Although many Apple watchers have assumed the next iPad Mini would come with the high-definition Retina display, the source said that would not be the case.

One analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, said the new iPhone could be timed with the release of the iOS 7 operating system and may include a fingerprint identification component.

He reported a possible July debut and said Apple‘s apparently accelerated release schedule could be “an effort to avoid repeating the fatal mistake of last year of the delayed iPhone 5 launch, which gave competitors room to grab market share.”

There have been rumors of a low-cost iPhone to be introduced at the same time, but Apple head Tim Cook has suggested the company would continue to offer the iPhone 4 and 4S as a low-cost alternative and as an entry into developing markets. (UPI)

삼성에 이어 애플 아이폰5s 출시하나?

5일(현지시간) 미국 IT 전문매체 ‘씨넷’은 IT 전문 블로그 사이트 ‘아이모어(iMore)’를 인용해 “아이폰5S가 올 여름, 차세대 아이패드는 올 봄에 나올 것이다”고 보도했다.

이어 “외형은 전 모델과 같지만 프로세서와 카메라의 성능이 개선될 것 같다”고 덧붙였다.

보도에 따르면 아이폰5S는 올 8월 출시 예정이며 아이패드5와 아이패드미니2가 이르면 4월에 공개될 전망이다. 또한 애플이 아이폰5S 외에도 개발도상국을 대상으로 한 보급형 아이폰 제품도 내놓을 것으로 예고했다.

아이폰5S는 더욱 빨라진 프로세서 A7과 아이폰5에 이용됐던 것보다 조금 커진 배터리를 장착하고 ‘스마트 플래시’로 불리는 LED기술을 이용한 카메라도 채용될 것으로 점쳐지고 있다. (코리아헤럴드)
