The latest iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 release date rumors suggest that the supposedly iPhone 5s budget phone will not be launched at all by Apple. The highly anticipated multi-colored phone has been removed from Apple’s lineup, as the company will overhaul the whole iPhone product line via the iPhone 6, according to a report by the Stabley Times.

There have been widely circulated rumors that instead of an iPhone 5s, there would be cheaper iPhone 6 versions, which would have a plastic casing. The launch of such budget iPhone, that is not an iPhone 5S, may happen the same time the flagship iPhone 6 will be released.

What the rumors indicate is that the whole iPhone product line-up might experience a dramatical reboot, with various iPhone 6 variants expanding the selection of iPhone range in terms of features and specs, making all iPhones obselete by end of the year.

Stabley Times noted that such giant move on the company’s part to really change the line-up of their mobile phone offerings is a key motivator why it’s eager to divest itself of all iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 inventory. The prolific news blog said that the earlier models would not serve the role of bargain back-ups once the iPhone 6 arrives.

According to Stabley Times, the iPhone 6 is in the tech giant’s next set of product releases and the company has “telegraphed” the move in different ways. And if the rumors are true, the phone will signal an overhaul of the whole iPhone prodct line.

The first hint that Apple showed that iPhone 6 is coming to town is the announcement of the massively overhauled iOS 7. The new interface, noted Stabley, will not be wasted on an iPhone 5s, which would only look like a better iteration of the iPhone 5.

Apple has also paid a huge amount to hire the former CEO of Yves Saint Lauren to serve as a fashion director, with the intention of helping Apple products gain more mainstream fashionability.

It’s a move that shows that the company is determined to steer its products to more mainstream fashionability. The new hire hints that that must be counting on the professional knowledge of their new fashion hire to upgrade the look of the iPhone, since the past iterations have all very much looked the same.

The new retail prices of the iPhone 5 is also a sign that it will lose its attractiveness and market appeal once the iPhone 6 is released. Rumors pointed that the Cupertino company wants the latest iteration of their flagship mobile device to have a more stylistic edge.

The all-time low price of the iPhone 5 is a concrete step that Apple is officially erasing iPhone 5 inventory before it comes out with the iPhone 6.

Other hints that the tech giant is showing are the various components that have leaked out of Asian factories, most of which are far too different from what many would consider as fitting to an iPhone 5/5s body.
