In an investors note this morning, Jefferies analyst Peter Misek says Apple is planning to release the iPhone 5S in June of 2013, reports Business Insider.
Misek is predicting the iPhone 5S has a new "super HD camera/screen, a better battery, and NFC," and "possible updates include an IGZO screen for Retina+, 128GB storage." He's also predicting it comes in 6-8 colors, presumably similar to the iPod Touch which comes in a bunch of colors.
Apple has released its last two iPhone models in the fall; however, the iPhone 3G and iPhone 4 did come out mid-year.
Misek's report appears to corroborate another from DigiTimes which said the iPhone 5S will enter volume production in the first quarter of 2013.

This company's policy is interesting. Super HD screen, super camera, then they might add 'bluetooth file obex'. Why did the iPhone 5 not already have a 10 mp camera with HD? Instead they gave customers an 8 mp camera. Why not give customers what they want? Take a look at Meizu or Xoom; they are Chinese companies putting hardware in their phones and selling out quickly. I have been in the mobile business for 10 years and Apple is following Nokia's steps; they will likely dominate for some time as Nokia did.

First of all Samsung does not name the updates to the OS. Google does. Its called google android not samsung android. And to say that they suck just cause you don't like their phones is simply unhelpful.

NFC is so useless right now. When's the last time I saw someone paying with an Android? Nobody yet.

Tim Cook has decided to take the same approach that everyone else does, releasing multiple releases of new products every month, without waiting for them to be perfected. But that focused approach by Steve Jobs is why Apple has such a reputation as a reputable company now. Unfortunately, he thinks he'd rather piss away a reputation for being a quality company in exchange for a short term gain in market share.

They will never make an iPhone with NFC. It is totally useless and merchants in the USA will never adopt it.

This will never happen. Apple is way to cheap to do that. Here is the main modo of Apple. " give you the least amount of features at the most cost as possible "... And Samsung already has these features without the extra cost.

I understand that you're paid to publically degrade Apple, but you really need to stop making stuff up. While Apple products cost a little more than other rip-offs, that's because of the better quality of their products. They've NEVER raised their prices since they first released the original iPhone, despite some impressive improvements. True, Samsung has introduced some newer features sooner, but that also leaves users feeling like it's not as 'finished' as Apple products are, and THAT's why we pay the extra money for Apple products that we do!
