With an approaching 2013 release date, the Apple 5S is seeing a surge in online rumors. In addition to the phone's features and new OS, a tech blog is claiming that they got their hands on a prototype of the device.
On Friday, tech blog Techdy claim that they somehow acquired the body model of the new 5S. In addition to the 40+ photos they posted, they also claimed that:
“The budget iPhone will be made substantially from plastic (we can feel it’s actually polycarbonate material). It will have a 4" screen, like the iPhone 5, and interestingly, the budget iPhone actually has a shape that’s similar to Apple’s original iPod. When we hold the budget iPhone in our hands, the plastic chassis does not feel cheap at all. Unlike the plastic build quality of the Samsung Galaxy phones, the plastic material used on the budget iPhone feels more sturdy.”
Techdy continued about the new design:
"From the front, the budget iPhone looks almost identical to the iPhone 5. But if you look closer, the front glass of the budget iPhone sticks out a little. And the main differences are most obvious on the rear."
The blog also addressed the release date of the device. If history is any indication, the tech giant will be releasing their upcoming iPhone in the fall of this year, sometime between August and September...though some reports suggest the device won't be available until the new year.
While many tech resources cannot agree upon an official release date, they do seem to agree upon which operating system will be loaded on the device. The majority of tech-review blogs, and more credible outlets, claim that the phone will be pre-loaded with iOS 7, Apple's newest venture into the world of mobile operating systems.
