There is an unverified report out of China this morning that purports to show some new iPhone 5S production photos, and includes some specs that seem at least probable.
The production shots above claim to be of the iPhone 5S but with the case expected to be identical to the 5, it is hard to tell the difference.
Specs for the iPhone 5S from this same leak include NFC reader (which was taken out of the iPhone 5 late in production we’ve heard), a Fingerprint Reader (which may or may not be causing production delays), Sharp 4-inch 1136×640 (and maybe LG) IGZO display for power savings and better image quality and new 12 megapixel backside camera with dual LED flash.
Other specs mentioned in the report include 2GB of RAM, an A6 CPU at a higher clock with improved quad-core SGX 554MP4 (upgrade from the 3-core PowerVR SGX543MP3 in the iPhone 5) and improved LTE.
If these specs are true, the iPhone 5S will be a really nice bump up from the iPhone 5.
Of course, all reports like this should always be taken with a grain of salt, except for those of your on a low-sodium diet like myself, so we’ll need a few grains of Morton’s Salt Substitute.
