Rumor: iPhone 5S and iPad 5 to Launch Mid-2013

[Maura]

For the second time in just a matter of days a rumour has surfaced about the possibility of Apple launching an iPhone 5S, sooner rather than later. According to a report on BGR today, Digitimes has published news passed on to it by unnamed market sources, who have told the paper that the next iPhone will be released by mid 2013. Digitimes also says that the same sources have told it that Apple also plans to release another iPad by mid 2013 as well. While the iPad story seems a little unlikely, given that the fourth-gen iPad has only just launched (although you never know, stranger things have happened!), the news about the next iPhone, possibly the iPhone 5S, follows on from other rumours that Apple has already started testing the next iPhone. One credible reason for this is to correct the design flaws that have made the current iPhone 5 rather difficult to manufacture.
