Apple will release a test iPhone 5S in December

According to the DigiTimes resource, Apple is shortening the life cycle of its devices and plans to release a test batch of a new generation iPhone in December.

According to rumors, a trial version of the new device codenamed iPhone 5S will be released in December this year in the amount of 50-100 thousand pieces. The reason for such rapid actions is Apple’s decision to speed up the certification processes of device components before it appears on the market.

In this scenario, the Taiwan branch of Commercial Times confirms, we can expect a new seventh-generation iPhone almost in the first quarter of 2013.

Thus, Apple significantly shortens the time gaps between the releases of its devices, shortening the life cycle of gadgets and the difference between them (it will be much more difficult to make revolutionary products every six months). Recall that only 7 months have passed between the releases of the iPad 4 and iPad 3, when Apple previously withstood one-year pauses between updates.
