http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20121112PB200.html Apple is expected to begin trial production of a new version of its iPhone 5, or iPhone 5S,
in December with initial production volumes likely to top 50,000-100,000 units, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report.
Facing low yield rates in the production of iPhone 5, Apple has accelerated the certification processes for related parts and components
for the iPhone 5S, the paper revealed.
While the speculated iPhone 5S is expected to enter volume production in the first quarter of 2013, Apple is also likely to release a new version of iPad a quarter later than
the iPhone 5S, since the display resolution of its latest version of iPad has come out lower than expected, the paper added.
