Fanfare, please Apple will announce the next iPhone 5S during a press conference on September 10. This date from AllThingsD fits with other announcement dates in the past as well as true predictions.
Analysts are wondering what Apple will do about the mid-range or low-cost alternative iPhone 5C. Some analysts contend that because the iPhone 4/4S are still selling well with contracts there is no need for a cheaper iPhone 5C in the United States.
iOS 7 was announced in June, is going through beta testing and should be ready in time for announcement.
The iPhone 5S is expected to have a fingerprint scanner, mogul slow-motion video, 13MP pixel camera, AirDrop media sharing, offline voice dictation and other features found on competing smartphones.
There is no news if the next iPad will also be revealed, although there have been reports that Apple is experimenting with new iPad sizes.
iFans are waiting for the next big thing, which Samsung claims it already has. There could be an iWatch and maybe... we'll have to wait and see.
The first iPhone was introduced in June 2007 for the first four years its size did not change, processor, display resolution and camera changed. With the release of the iPhone 5, the screen size was increased to 4" which compared to most other makers is seen to be small in comparison, now.
Recently Apple services for iTunes and iCloud went down for an outage for several hours.
