TAIPEI — According to Analyst Kuo Ming Chi of Financial Services Group KGI, who has had a notable record in predicting Apple hardware launches, the successor to the iPhone 5 will be announced in June and launched in July.
Citing Mr Kuo, Apple blog Appleinsider said Monday the Cupertino-based company will launch the flagship iPhone 5S and a less expensive version made out of fibreglass and plastic.
Mr Kuo also said the iPhone 5S will have a faster A7 SoC, a “Smart Flash” that uses white or yellow LEDs to ensure high-quality photos, and a fingerprint security chip from AuthenTec, which was acquired by Apple.
The 5S will continue to use the same shell as the current iPhone 5 but will have a slightly larger 1600mAh battery.
The New York Times also said on Monday the iPhone’s biggest competitor, Samsung’s new Galaxy S IV could include an eye-scrolling feature, which would let users read text without using their hands.
The Galaxy S IV is thought to be unveiled at an event in New York next week. AGENCIES
