The general rule of thumb is this – the closer a particular device is to being released, the more leaks and rumors one is able to see hit the news wires and portals. I guess you can say that for a highly anticipated device like Apple’s upcoming iPhone 5S, it would be an insane security program being in place if not a single photo or rumor of what the iPhone 5S will carry appeared. Having said that, here is an alleged iPhone 5S specifications sheet that was leaked online, where it boasts of the long rumored fingerprint sensor as well as an A7 processor from Apple themselves.

The iPhone 5S would most probably not up the ante when it comes to its display size, with a 4” display being in place still, accompanied by an A7 processor with a redesigned Home button as rumored. The battery life has also said to have improved, sporting a new standby time of 250 hours, up by a good 225 hours from its predecessor. Not only that, the back camera would be an 8-megapixel shooter with dual LED flash and F2.0 wide aperture lens, while being able to record Full HD video at up to 120 frames per second. For selfies and FaceTime conversations, a 1.2-megapixel camera ought to be able to get the job done.

It ought to offer support for China Telecom, but until an official announcement is made on the iPhone 5S in China, we would take all rumors with a grain of salt. Check out a photo gallery of the rest of the purported iPhone 5S specifications right after the jump. [Translated Source]

According to the rumors, it is widely believed that the iPhone 5S could debut a new hardware feature in the form of a fingerprint scanner that would be embedded in the home button of the phone. This rumor has been corroborated by leaked packaging photos and leaked components that suggests that Apple could be doing something different with the iPhone 5S’ home button compared to previous generations. Thanks to an European Apple patent, an embedded fingerprint scanner seems to be more or less a sure thing. (more…)

It has been consistently rumored over the last few weeks that China Mobile, the largest mobile carrier in the world, will be launching the new iPhones soon. Apple CEO Tim Cook had a meeting with the carrier’s chairman recently, who said that China Mobile is keen on selling the iPhone. It was rumored recently that Apple is ready to start shipping units to the carrier, however as per famed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, China Mobile’s iPhone launch might be delayed till November.

China Mobile has over 700 million subscribers, analysts believe that Apple might sell as many as 20 million additional units if the iPhone is launched on this carrier. Before China Mobile can do that though, it needs to complete the roll out of its TDD-LTE network, which might cause the launch to be delayed. In a note to investors, Kuo says that the carrier’s TDD-LTE network hasn’t been properly prepared as yet. He also predicts that China Mobile will use the iPhone 5S as the flagship device for promoting its own TDD-LTE network, so its essential to get the network in place first before it starts blowing the trumpet. The new iPhones are expected to be launched in China, on two of China Mobile’s rivals, on September 20th.

Apple might be less than two days away from unveiling its brand new iPhones, that doesn’t mean the leaks and rumors are going to stop. Earlier today we picked up on a purported iPhone 5S box that hints at the possibility of it having a fingerprint scanner. Apple is also expected to unveil the iPhone 5C this year, its first ever budget smartphone. The alleged logic board of iPhone 5C has leaked online, it sports minor changes as opposed to the iPhone 5 logic board. iPhone 5C’s internals are expected to be quite similar to the existing iPhone.

Since much of the logic board pictured here is covered by protective EMI cover, the internal circuitry is almost completely hidden. The accelerometer is thought to be repositioned or hidden beneath five connection points used for the speakers, microphone, display and other components. The area where the chip is located on iPhone 5 is said to be identical on this purported iPhone 5C logic board, this isn’t much of a surprise, since Apple is expected to go with the same processor so as to reduce build cost. Apart from these subtle tweaks, not much can be gathered about the upcoming budget iPhone from this part. The new iPhones are expected to be released on September 20th after the announcement on September 10th. [Image via Weibo]
