One month from today Apple will announce the iPhone 5S to the world at a press conference, according to a report today.
The iPhone 5S launch event is said to be scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 10, claimed sources who spoke to AllThingsD.
Previous rumors point to the next smartphone having a bumped up processor, likely the Apple A6X or the A7, a better camera to compete with the 13-megapixel Samsung Galaxy S4, and superfast LTE-Advanced.
There's also a lot of anticipation surrounding a possible fingerprint sensor, which is thought to be used to unlock the smartphone in addition to other security-related functions.
One item on Apple's agenda we know about for sure regards hearing more details about the launch of iOS 7, its fresh take on the mobile operating system that was first unveiled in June.
Cheaper iPhone, too?
Also expected on stage at next month's Apple press conference is an all-plastic, cheap iPhone model, currently being called the iPhone 5C.
The rumored budget-friendly smartphone would be a first for the company, with leaked images pointing to multiple colors in addition to a cheaper price.
Photos purported to be from factories in China seem to indicate at least six colors: red, blue, red, yellow, green and white.
Whether or not current iPhone owners opt for the cheaper versions may not matter. Apple is thought to be targeting areas of the world where more affordable handsets are popular, including populous countries such as China and India.
We will have our "i" on Sept. 10 here at TechRadar, so check back for the iPhone 5S launch event details on that day, if the latest report turns out to be accurate.
