A new report is claiming that the iPhone 5S will be announced at an Apple event on Thursday June 20, according to Japanese site MacFan via Macotakara. The site claims to have intelligence on the launch date of the new device suggesting that a media event with the announcement of the iPhone 5S would take place on this date and that the device would go on sale in early July.
The report also claims that Apple will be releasing the long-rumored ‘low-cost’ version of the iPhone at the same event, being targeted for developing markets. However, this version would apparently not be released to the public until August. Finally the report predicts that iOS 7 could be previewed at the same media event, although it is apparently not yet ready for a public release.
There’s no word on where the information comes from although it is consistent with previous rumors suggesting that Apple would be launching a new iPhone in June. No release date has been proposed for iOS 7.
