4.5 inch Apple iPhone 5S coming in 2014?

A report from Japan says that the Apple iPhone 5S will be available in 2014. Besides having a 4.5 inch screen, which is a half inch larger than the glass on the current version of Apple's iconic smartphone, the model will have a polycarbonate body. While that will make the Apple iPhone 5S thicker than the Apple iPhone 5, it might also make it more durable than the current handset. There will be some other changes with the Apple iPhone 5S such as the dual LED flash that will be put one on top of the other on the right side of the camera lens, according to the report.

We have seen a confusing number of rumors this year, perhaps more than ever, discussing the successor to the Apple iPhone 5. There has been speculation about a 4.8 inch Apple iPhone Math, and rumors about a version of the phone with a 12MP camera to be released around the holidays. One consistent thread throughout the speculation is that the Apple iPhone 5S will have the A7 processor under the hood, which is the successor to the A6X currently powering the fourth-generation Apple iPad. Oh, we almost forgot one of the most important new features belonging to this rumored version of the Apple iPhone 5S. That would be the tag with a price of $330 on it.

While you do have to take this report with a grain of salt, there is a reason why. If the Apple iPhone 5S won't be released until next year, what version of the Apple iPhone will be released in 2013?
