The site's sources say that the device is ready for production and it can be shipped anytime.

Unfortunately, the design of the handset, its battery capacity and amount of RAM on board remain unknown. If the company is really planning to market the device as an updated iPhone 5s, it may get 1GB of RAM, 1560 mAh battery and similar external look, however, these are only my assumptions.

Many things point to the release of a smaller 4-inch handset next year. Several analysts including Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities have recently released reports suggesting the new Apple smartphone is just around the corner.
