iPhone 5S Rumors Begin

The initial source is Chinese-language publication The Commercial Times, and it's being spread by Digitimes, the supply chain-focused publication that's a frequent, and fairly unreliable source of rumor and speculation. But is there any way Apple could really be working towards updating a phone it just released in September?
