Apple is expected to reveal the new iPhone 5S and iPad 5 six years to the date after the release of the first iPhone. The Silicon Valley giant will make the unveilings at an event on June 29, sources tell Gizmorati.

An analyst says the iPhone 5S will arrive with a “killer” feature that could be part of iOS 7, the upcoming update to Apple’s mobile operating system, according to a GottaBe Mobile article. Since most insiders expect the iPhone 5S (if that’s indeed what the new hardware is called) design to have minimal updates, the rumored iOS 7 feature would be the star of the show.
