No sooner had the passions around poutihnut iPhone 5 and iPad mini, as the news of Apple another novelty beginning to haunt the World Wide Web. In particular, it was reported that as recently as December, the US company plans to launch iPhone pilot production of next-generation source unit refers iPhone 5S. I wrote about this website DigiTimes, Referring to the Chinese publication Commercial Times. There is an opinion that the manufacturer has decided to shorten the development time of each of the following smartphone models. Accordingly, iPhone new generation may appear after about six months after release of the precursor, as in the case of iPad 4Gen.
According to Digitimes, Apple plans to release later this year from 50 to 100 thousand. iPhone 5S, so to speak, under the test batch. It was also decided to accelerate the process of certification of suppliers of components. It will begin full production of the device in the first quarter of 2013. It should also be noted that the acceleration of the production cycle may be due to a desire to avoid a deficit, which happened with the iPhone 5.
In addition, the source spoke about Apple's plans to release a new generation iPad mini. This allegedly happened in a quarter after the release of the iPhone 5S. The reason for haste is the resolution of the display device constituting of 1024x768 pixels, which is lower than that of the vast majority of competitors and that moment users criticized the most. In the next generation of compact tablets the company will establish Retina-display with the same resolution as in the iPad 3Gen / 4Gen. Nevertheless, it is necessary to be critical of distributed DigiTimes and Commercial Times rumors. Both sources in the past repeatedly made mistakes. For example, journalists Commercial Times wrote that the release of the iPhone 5 will be held in the summer, but in fact the gadget will appear in the autumn.
