Will
the next gen iPhone 5S shake the world like the arch rival Samsung Galaxy S IV
did? The long-awaited next generation iPhone will enter mass production
by the end of this month, according to Jefferies analyst Peter Misek.
Peter Misek believes
that Apple is going to order about 50-55 million iPhones for the fourth quarter
out of which, 5 million will be iPhone 4Sand up to 25 million of its upcoming
flagship smartphone. Lastly, Peter Misek expects
Apple to announce its iPhone 5S in late September or in early October. The iPhone 5S has a history at the rumor mill. Pictures in December showed an
exterior identical to the iPhone 5, just a couple of months off the launch of
the iPhone 5. Other pictures surfaced last month. More recently, a
Korean news outlet expected a version of the iPhone 5Swith LTE-Advanced
technology. A recruitment
firm, which is responsible for hiring at Foxconn’s plant in Zhengzhou in
northern China, has begun recruiting workers on a large scale, indicating that
mass production of the iPhone 5S has begun, CNET reported, citing China Business News.
The report by
China Business News was based on information from an anonymous source at the
Zhengzhou plant, who said that Foxconn currently has 210,000 workers, which is
way below the 300,000 people employed during the production peak in 2012.
Therefore, the company is now assumed to be filling assembly line positions
with new employees. “As the seasonal
hires file onto the production floor, it is widely believed that Foxconn is
preparing to enter the mass production phase of the so-called ‘iPhone 5S,’ a handset
thought to carry over the design of the iPhone 5, but with upgraded internals,”
an Apple Insider report said. The unidentified
source also provided a new twist in the iPhone 5S tale, saying that the
Zhengzhou plant is working on a completely different iPhone, which could
feature a “borderless” design, an aluminum and carbon fiber shell, and weighs
40 percent less than the iPhone 5.
The iPhone 5S is
expected to have a form factor similar to that of the iPhone 5. However, the
device is likely to feature a more powerful processor, a fingerprint sensor, a
longer-lasting battery, an improved camera with dual LED flash andslow-motion video
capturing capabilities.
Rumors are rife that Apple will launch the iPhone
5S, along with iOS 7, in September, followed by a release date in the fall. The
Cupertino, Calif.-based tech giant is also rumored to be working on a more
thoroughly redesigned iPhone 6 for 2014, which will follow this year’s iPhone
5S. Also Multi coloured iPhones are expected
