Apple rumored to hold special event on September 10th to release new iPhone

According to foreign media reports on August 11th, Beijing Time, the American blog website AllThingsD today released a message that Apple Inc. will hold a special event on September 10th to release the new version of iPhone. In the past, AllThingsD has been very accurate in reporting news about Apple's new product releases, so if there are no special changes in the next few weeks, Apple will definitely release the next generation of new iPhones on September 10th.

The release of the new version of iPhone on September 10th by Apple will have important significance. At present, although Apple can generate a large amount of revenue from the iPhone, globally, due to the continuous emergence of low-cost Android devices and the strong pressure from competitor Samsung, the market share of Apple's iPhone in the global smartphone market has also declined.

Apple still refused to comment on the above rumors. However, AllThingsD did not report detailed functions of the new version of the iPhone. In the past few months, other media reports and rumors have already provided many clues about the functions of the new version of the iPhone.

People do not expect too much from this new version of the iPhone. First, it is estimated that there will be no significant changes in the design of this new iPhone. Many analysts in the industry and tech journalists have already expressed that the new version of the iPhone is the so-called "iPhone 5S", which will be very similar to the current iPhone 5. However, some internal components of the new version of the iPhone may have significantly improved, such as faster processor speed and better camera effects.

There were also numerous reports earlier indicating that Apple might embed a fingerprint sensor into the home button of the new version of the iPhone. A few weeks ago, developers had already discovered the code for the new iOS 7 operating system of the iPhone, which is currently the strongest evidence found by the industry regarding Apple's plan to add a fingerprint sensor to the iPhone 5S. Theoretically speaking, the fingerprint sensor will make it convenient for users to unlock their phones without needing to enter a four-digit password as they used to.

As for the iOS 7 operating system, Apple may announce that it will be available for everyone to download for free. Last year, shortly after announcing the release of the iPhone 5, Apple also announced the updated version of the iOS system.

Finally, it is worth noting that there are also numerous rumors indicating that Apple will also launch a cheaper version of the iPhone. This phone will feature a plastic shell and may be named the rumored "iPhone 5C" in the industry. It is claimed that the price of this cheaper version of the iPhone will be much lower than the new version of the iPhone, but it may help Apple gain more market share in the low-end smartphone market. Some people in the industry also claim that this plastic-shelled iPhone may come in multiple colors.
