Contrary to previous reports, rumours originating from Germany are now claiming that Apple's next iPhone could be on sale by 6 September.
According to what translations of calls a 'credible and very serious source', the iPhone 5S could 'come on the market' by the start of September, which suggests it could be announced at the end of August. German blog iFun
The source also added weight to rumours about a second, cheaper model and even a large-screen iPad being announced the same day by claiming Apple will unveil 'two new types of devices' in addition to the iPhone 5S.
THE LATEST APPLE RUMOURSApple has unveiled a new handset every year since it announced the first iPhone in 2007.
The first four models - iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4 - were all unveiled in June and went on sale around a week or so later.
More recent models, including the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5, were announced in October 2011 and September 2012 respectively.
Rumours of a summer release for the iPhone 5S began in April this year when sources close to the electronics giant, including manufacturers, leaked details that production had started.
Reports from an American magazine in May suggested the iPhone 5S would be announced on 10 September and go on sale ten days later.
Then last week, reports from China claimed the release could be pushed back until the end of September and possibly October because of 'production problems'.
The iPhone 5S is r umoured to have internet speeds around ten times as fast as 3G .
It is also poised to be released with a built-in fingerprint scanner, and it is this technology that was believed to be causing the delay.
The new iPhone 5S model is expected to look identical to the current iPhone 5 but includes a faster processor and updated camera.
It will also run iOS 7, the major new version of Apple's iPad and iPhone software launched in June.
Reporter Dave Smith from said: 'By all accounts, the iPhone 5S will look identical its predecessor the iPhone 5, with the exception of a few cosmetic changes.
'Apple has reportedly adopted dual-LED flash for its rear-facing camera, which means that circular flash is now pill-shaped, and many believe the iPhone 5S camera has been improved from the 8-megapixels in the iPhone 5, likely to 12-megapixels.
He added that iPhone 5S has also reportedly received a battery upgrade from the iPhone 5's 5.45 Whr capacity to a higher capacity of 5.92 Whr.
In June, rumours claimed that the California-based company was also set to launch a low-cost version of its iPhone 5 handset as early as September.
It will be the first time in Apple's iPhone history that the company has unveiled two handsets in the same month.
It was originally dubbed iPhone Mini, then iPhone Lite, and now leaked pictures from showing plastic cases suggest it could be called the iPhone C.
The cheaper handset is expected to be made of plastic to keep costs down and may be sold in a range of colours including white, black, pink and blue.
According to analyst Brian White from Topeka Capital Markets, t he iPhone Mini could be made of plastic and could cost as little as £63 ($99).
Other prices put it much higher at £260 ($400) and it is likely to be closer in price to Apple's iPhone 4.
Apple does not comment on future products before its launch events.
The speculation seems to contradict comments made by Phil Schiller, Apple's marketing chief, who told Chinese newspaper the Shanghai Evening News earlier this year that 'despite the popularity of cheap smartphones, this well never be the future of Apple's products.'
Other rumours include that Apple could launch a 4.7inch iPhone model - which would put it in close competition with Samsung's 4.8inch Galaxy SIII - as well as a 5.7inch 'phablet-style' device.
A Chinese source claims the company will stop making its current flagship phone when it releases its next handset.
The reports claim Apple wants to focus its attentions on, and ultimately promote more sales of, the newer designs.
Elsewhere, a different Chinese source sparked rumours Apple could soon announced a 13-inch iPad after the company had requested larger touchscreens.
