July 1, 2013 7:53 AM UTC
Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) shares are higher Monday as more speculation is arriving on when the next version of the iPhone will appear.

According to the International Business Times (IBT), the iPhone 5S will debut on September 20th, just two days following the release of iOS 7. Debut of the device might come a week beforehand.

Apple also has a low-cost iPhone coming out this year, which IBT pegs happening on September 27th or October 4th. The October date would be two-years following the launch if the iPhone 4S and passing of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

IBT also notes that the biggest update for the next iPhone would be an integrated sensor, which would be embedded right into the home button and eliminate the need for entering usernames and passwords. It wasn't mulled on whether or not the next iPhone would have a larger display.

Shares of Apple are up 1.4 percent early.
