A Chinese website focusing on the mobile phone industry claims to know the existence of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S, all thanks to Apple's suppliers. It is further said that both smartphones could be released near the end of the year. Apple has yet to officially confirm the existence of the two devices, which have already heard rumors before.
