iPhone 5S Release Date & Features: Leaked Photos Point to Different Design [PIC]
Some leaked photos could be pointing toward a slight difference in the design for the upcoming iPhone 5S, although nothing is confirmed and the validity of the photos remains unknown.
C Technology released photos of the alleged iPhone 5S box, which features a picture of what the iPhone is apparently supposed to look like. The home button is shown with a silver ring around it, which could be related to the fingerprint scanner that has been discussed in the rumor mill. Will the iPhone 5S even have a fingerprint scanner? Will it be designed the way it is in these photos? We really won't know anything for sure until tomorrow's anticipated unveiling ceremony.
The photos from C Technology were the topic of discussion this weekend on tech and business blogs as each expert tried to get the latest scoop on the upcoming iPhone release. Businessinsider.com said the photos are "a bit fishy" because of the plain background on the pictured iPhone screens from C Technology. The website said that Apple usually has a colorful wallpaper on the background in these situations. Perhaps if this picture is real then it could mean that Apple did not feel a colorful background was necessary since the cheaper iPhone 5C -- which should be unveiled tomorrow as well -- is expected to have several colorful options.
Tomorrow's unveiling ceremony will finally put an end to speculation about the specifications and details surrounding the next iPhone release. The rumors from the beginning were indicating that there would be a cheaper phone option and a costlier phone option, but the New York Post recently reported that the iPhone 5C might only be released in China after Apple apparently reached a deal with China Mobile. To complicate matters even further, however, reports today questioned whether Apple ever completed a deal with China Mobile.
Week after week, the rumors have continued to mount. Finally, the time has come for Apple to pull the tarp off their secretive product.
