All the latest iPhone 5S rumors we've found:


REVIEW: COULD THE 5S BE JUST AROUND THE CORNER?



  • The iPhone 5 may still be quite new, but anticipation of the iPhone 5S and its imminent launch is high.


  • We would have been the first to label these rumours as rubbish, so soon after the iPhone 5, but the early arrival of two iPads – the iPad 4 and iPad Mini – in October shows that even when it comes to its product launch cycles, Apple can be unpredictable.


  • Apple will no doubt be feeling the pressure to get its next phone out on the market as soon as possible. Interestingly, it's likely that initial designs of the iPhone 5S will have begun under the watchful eye of Steve Jobs. But is it really as important a product as some suggest?


  • Kuo isn't the only one predicting a delay. After visiting Apple's manufacturing partners in Asia, Peter Misek, an analyst at Jefferies, has also said that he expectsiPhone 5S delays.


  • While Cook may have said that there's nothing new until September, it doesn't mean that it's necessarily Apple's choice, with rumours of delays. Ming-chi Kuo of KGI securities thinks that the iPhone 5S will be delayed, because of new technology


  • All-in-all that's as clear as mud, then. The only thing that seems to be certain is that the iPhone 5S will be an update to the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 6 will be a completely new model, most likely released next year.

IPHONE 5S RELEASE DATE
Any new phone from Apple will almost certainly be the 5S rather than an iPhone 6. Many analysts believe we won't see an iPhone 6 or cheap iPhone until 2014 (although, of course, not everybody agrees with this!). 

The iPhone 5S release date could be as early as June. However, we believe it's still likely that we'll see another iPhone later in 2013, probably around the September/October timeframe. That will pit it up against rival Samsung, who will surely introduce the third generation of the Samsung Note, the Samsung Note 3, at IFA 2013.

There's no easy way to describe this, but rumours of the iPhone 5S release date are a complete and utter mess. If you believed every single snippet of information, then the new iPhone could be released in practically every month until September 2013. Law of averages would seem to suggest that one of these dates is correct, although Apple could just release in October just to prove everyone wrong.

Anyway, here's what we've got. Most recently, an internal memo from Japanese network KDDI was leaked. This stated that the company would start taking pre-orders on Jun 20th, before the iPhone 5S is released in early July. Alongside the launch date, the leaked memo contains some alleged specs, including that there will be a 13-megapixel main camera.

CAMERA
The compact camera market has been suffering due to the quality of smartphone cameras. It's clear that the camera is something that people really care about, wanting to take high-quality photos without having to carry two devices.
While the iPhone has been known for the quality of its integrated cameras, in recent months the competition has overtaken Apple. Competitor's phones, such as the Nokia Lumia 920, HTC One and Sony Xperia Z, have all been sold on the quality of their cameras.
While the jump to a 12-megapixel sensor would improve the resolution of photos, giving your larger photos, there is always the worry that it will increase noise. One of the problems with fitting high-resolution, but physically small, sensors is that there's less light per pixel. This can have a knock-on effect, particularly when shooting in low light.

FEATURES

It's claimed that the iPhone 5S will have a higher-resolution display than the iPhone 5, potentially based on the new IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide) material. If true, it would provide the 5S with a brighter and more detailed screen than the iPhone 5, while also potentially dropping the thickness of the handset - albeit, only slightly.
This seems more likely following CES 2013, when the Sharp IGZO display technology was displayed for the first time inside a 32in 4K monitor.
That release certainly got the rumour mill going and it's been suggested that Apple has already approached Sharp about its technology, but not just for the iPhone 5S, but also for the upcoming iPad 5.
Recent rumours have stated that the iPhone 5S may launch with two or three different screen sizes. With the increase in popularity of large-screen smartphones, such as the 4.99in Samsung Galaxy S4, Apple is said to be interested in offering a range of different options to customers.
128 GB CAPACITY
The rumours of a 128GB version would seem to be true, as we know that Apple now has that capacity, thanks to the recent launch of a 128GB iPad 4.
The update to the iPad 4 was a completely new model with a new price, so we'd expect the same range of capacities and prices to be available from the iPad 5: 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB. With Apple now using 128GB storage in its tablets, the question is whether or not it will provide the same range of capacities in its iPhone and iPad Mini range, too.
Given that the capacity is now available to Apple and that the smartphone market is even more competitive, we'd say that a 128GB version of the new phone is more than likely.
PRICE
If there's one thing you can count on for Apple, it's reliable pricing. Pretty much every time a new product is launched, it costs the same as the outgoing model.
That would mean, unlocked, that the iPhone 5S would cost £529 for the 16GB model, £599 for 32GB model and £699 for the 64GB model. If there is a 128GB model, we'd guess that it will cost £799. Deals will, of course, be available from mobile operators if you buy the phone on contract.
DISPLAY
iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 will include a Super HD screen display and camera according to new reports in December 2012. The China Times says a 'Touch On Display' panel is being developed by Taiwanese supplier Innolux with 10 point multi-touch and a 0.5mm thickness. Apparently the site spoke to sources inside Apple's supply chain.
It's been reported that the handset would have a Retina+ Sharp IGZO display, which would have a 1080p Full HD resolution. It's also been widely reported that Apple could introduce two handset sizes as it seeks to compete with the plethora of Android devices now on the market.
WIRELESS CHARGING
According to CP Tech, Apple filed a patent application last month for Wireless Power Utilization, a wireless charging system with near-field magnetic resonance (NFMR). That means we'll get wireless charging at last.
Needless to say, TechRadar will be keeping a close eye on all the iPhone 5S rumors and will bring you the latest  developments as they emerge - on this very page.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster believes the 5S will also have a featureoriginally destined for iPhone 6: a fingerprint reader.
