Rumor: Apple to release next-gen iPhone in Japanese marketplace on September 20th

Today’s rumor mill is focused on the land of the rising sun and when it’ll receive the next-gen iPhone handsets.

Per CNET, Apple is set to release both a next-generation “iPhone 5S,” as well as a less-expensive “iPhone 5C,” in the country on Sept. 20 through cellular carriers SoftBank and KDDI.

The rumor has it that Apple will release the two handsets simultaneously on Sept. 20, a date that jibes with a rumor that claimed the company is planning to announce the devices at a special Sept. 10 iPhone event.

In addition to the supposed release date, the publication said Apple will debut a new gold color option for the iPhone 5S, a rumor that has quickly gained traction over the past week.

Apple’s current partner carriers SoftBank and KDDI are expected to have both the iPhone 5S and 5C available on launch, while NTT DoCoMo will once again go without.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
