Case manufacturers have obtained schematics that they believe accurately depict the design of the upcoming iPhone 5S and low cost iPhone, reports AppleInsider.
As in previous years, and despite the risk of being wrong, manufacturers have already started making accessories based on the specifications.
The diagrams below show an iPhone 5S handset that looks like the iPhone 5 with the same 4-inch screen, home button, and FaceTime camera. The low cost iPhone or 'iPhone Lite' is shown to be slightly wider and taller, as well as 0.8 mm thicker than the 5S. It has rounded off back edges similar to the iPod classic.
Below you can see a rendering by a well-known third party case manufacturer that attempts to recreate the 'iPhone Lite' based on the blueprints they have obtained.

People should stop buying iphones and start using dixie cups with strings attached. Of course there is probably a patent already for that from apple.

I know right.. They also said they wouldn't make a smaller ipad, and also said that the iphone is the perfect size that doesn't need to be changed but we all know what's coming. LIES

this is why you get a 5, wait 2 years for contract then get the 6 and so on and so forth until ATT figures out how to drop your unlimited plan then you get something else.

Don't expect the 5S to have a finger print scanner. The 6 will most likely have that.

I really wanted to see some front facing speakers ! Apple had got the ear plug right by moving it to the bottom of the phone so why can't apple put the speakers where they belong ? HTC One Did !
Tired of cupping my hand...............DAH !
