iPhone 5S release date revealed as September 20

The iPhone 5S release date has been leaked as September 20 and the iPhone 6 will follow weeks later

The iPhone 5S will be released on September 20 according to Forbes.

International Business Times revealed the information, speculating Apple would release the next iPhone just a couple of days after iOS becomes available to the public.

IB Times says it came to this conclusion after applying previous launch patterns.

'Given the timetable announced for Apple's redesigned mobile operating system iOS 7, we fully expect to see Apple's big iPhone launch coincide with the release date schedule of iOS 7 -- specifically in mid-September,' says IB Times.

Both Forbes and IB Times agree that the iPhone 6 will be released very quickly after the iPhone 5S, 'to avoid excess lines at the Apple stores'.

The iPhone 6, or iPhone Light will be available in a range of colours and will be launched at a lower price point than the iPhone 5S, according to IB Times.

However, the iPhone 5S has previously been hinted as the cheaper iPhone, while the iPhone 6 is being marketed as the more premium device.

IB Times says the reason for both iPhone devices coming out in September 'is to make room later in October for another announcement, this time for a new full-size iPad and a retina iPad Mini—and maybe a new Apple TV and/or an iWatch—just in time for Christmas shopping.'

Possible iPhone 5S prototype pictured with larger battery, dual LED flash

Yet more images of Apple’s iPhone 5S have leaked online, revealing a dual-LED flash and a slightly larger battery cell. This time we have a relatively clear photo showing what kind of hardware the smartphone has tucked under the hood, along with one of the handset's back side. 

MacRumors has received several images that appear to show both the interior and rear shell of Apple's upcoming iPhone 5S. The device appears to carry the same redesigned logic board that appeared earlier this week, suggesting that this is indeed a new iPhone. 

Just like the images we saw earlier this week, the iPhone 5S looks pretty much identical to the iPhone 5 – it even has the same two-tone pewter colour scheme. The logic boards present on the two leaked shots were also identical, claims Mac Rumors.

Interestingly the chipset present on the handset isn’t marked with an identification/model number. Apple’s chipsets carry the ‘A’ brand – the iPhone 5's A6 CPU, for instance – although here for some reason it’s been left blank. 

Reports suggest Apple’s next iPhone may carry an A7 CPU, although nothing has yet been confirmed.

 The battery carries a more recent Apple Part Number of 616-0652 compared to the iPhone 5 battery, which has carried several different part numbers including 616-0611 and 616-0613. The new battery also has a higher capacity of 5.92 Whr, compared to the 5.45 Whr capacity of the iPhone 5's battery. The battery also has several blank boxes printed on it where various regulatory logos would be, suggesting that this is a prototype battery yet to receive final certifications. 

On the rear of the device a dual-LED flash is clearly present, giving us the first real indication that Apple’s next iPhone will feature a radically evolved imaging suite. Reports suggest the iPhone 5S’ camera will be one of its major USPs.

The rumored iPhone 5S is expected to arrive later in 2013 alongside a cheaper iPhone model. Both are likely to come with the same 4-inch screen and iOS 7 pre-installed. The low-cost iPhone, however, will probably be thicker and plastic-made, while the pricier iPhone 5S will most likely stick with the current model's aluminum design.
