It may have only been on sale for weeks, but online rumours claim Apple is about to begin making the successor to the iPhone 5, believed to be called the iPhone 5S.
A Chinese site claims the firm is set to begin trial production of the new model next month, although has no details of what new features it may contain.
The Commercial Times estimates that full commercial production of the rumoured iPhone 5S will begin as early as Q1 2013, with the December run only expected to return between 50,000 and 100,000 units.

IM FUCKING TIRED OF APPLE.

I love their products. I love having a Mac, and an iPad and blah blah blah, but Jesus their business practices are such shit. I wish someone would fucking say something like "hey guys maybe its time we just make another iPhone with everything on it so we don't have to fucking milk everyone every four months".

I think they should really wait for another few months. Weren't a lot of people furious because they brought out the iPad 2 to soon? They should wait at least 6-8 months before sending out a new one. I was pretty pissed that Siri couldn't be updated for the iPad 2, that you had to actually by the iPad with Retina Display (3) to have Siri. But it's all good business on there part, well, smart business at least haha

Shocker! If you just got the iPhone 5, then buying this supposed new phone when it comes out would be ridiculous and a complete waste of money. On the other hand, if you've had the same phone for a few years (like me) and its a dinosaur at this point, then you should probably wait it out a bit to see if this rumor is true. Otherwise, you will just be pissed that you bought what you though was the next big thing and then found out that something even better is right around the corner. Then again, I'm an Android guy so it doesn't even affect me...

I'd hope they started making the 5S, that shits coming out next september, not much time...

Ok people, they aren't releasing it next month, they started designing and such. There's a new iPhone once a year. Why are we complaining? That's how it's always been. Motorola released the Droid, Droid 2, Droid 2 Global, Droid 3 and Droid 4 between october 2009 and february 2012, 5 phones, not even 3 years, why isn't everyone all up and arms with them?! Even the droid 4 was released just 5 months after the Droid 3!!!

My thoughts.. calm down. The 5S not coming out Q1, I can guarantee you that.

Typical Apple. If the average consumer that just purchased the iPhone 5 is going to wait outside the nearest Apple Store, freezing their asses off just to buy the 5S, then they are dumber than I thought.
