Foxconn has reportedly started production of the iPhone 5S, reports Japanese blog Macotakara.

According to the site, the new smartphone is being produced on the same line as the iPhone 5 which suggests minimal changes to the device.

In the last day two separate rumors have surfaced in regards to the release date of the iPhone 5S. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple will unveil the new iPhone 5S, a lower cost iPhone, and iOS 7 in June with devices set for release in July. iMore predicts that Apple will release the iPhone 5S in August and new iPads as soon as April.

Macotakara also reports that Japan's largest cellular provider NTT DoCoMo is reducing orders for Android devices which hints that they might finally carry the iPhone.

The iPhone 5S is expected to feature a faster processor, improved camera, and a fingerprint scanner.

iPhone is a software platform. Not hardware. Is iOS 7 ready? Is there an iOS7 beta? If not: They have not started production. Every single iPhone so far have followed this pattern: About 3 month before release a beta iOS is released. Then hardware...

if apple does not change their game, then they are going to regret... no1 wants to see 5s... may be iPhone 6 with brand new everything...

"no one wants to see an iPhone5S" That is nerd thinking. Somehow every single iPhone have sold double then the previous version. Including the S versions. Why? 99% of the population aren't nerds. Most phone buyers don't even care about what phone they buy (The reason for the majority of Android sales) Gzh, GPRS, MPIX, HSPA, BluetoothERD2, WAP2.1, Wifi AC and so on... People don't care. The spec thinking have killed many computer/phone companies. When you buy a car: Is it because of the specs? No. The specs only have a small influence. People want "new" things. Just look at the graphic cards. Each year AMD/Nvidia rebrand last years card, just to make them new. With Apple there have at least always been better hardware.

Finger print scanner eh? If its as big as a Galaxy then I won't buy it. I'm hoping more company's will sign on to Passbook. The Camera is SOMEWHAT ok; but iOS 7 needs to be REALLY REALLY Worth the reason to buy it.

why would ios7 have to be really good for you to buy it when the iphone 5 4s and 4 will get ios7 anyway and will have exactly the same software apart from it will be a tiny little bit faster on the 5s with a better camera
