iPhone 5S and iPhone 6 release date (update)

iPhone 5S:


We were hearing rumors about the next Apple phone since December 2012. The rumor was that iPhone 5S will make its first debut in May 2013. But since it's already 2 months since the rumored debut, and we haven't seen the release of iPhone 5S, leading many people to believe that Apple might postpones the official release until 20th September 2013.

This date was based on the fact that iOS 6 was released 100 days after the OS was unveiled; add 100 days on to the iOS 7 reveal and you get the 18th September. And of course, this is just another rumors about the Tech World, don't put expect it to be VERY accurate. 

Now, moving on to iPhone 6...

Another theory is iPhone 6 will debut in early 2014. Apple needs to observe the performance of iOS 7, which would featured in iPhone 5S.
