AppleApple’s next-generation iPhone 5S and all new iPhone 5C smartphones will likely launch on Friday, September 20th. An earlier report from Nikkei pointed to the 20th as Apple’s target launch date in Japan, which was among the company’s initial launch markets alongside the United States last year when the iPhone 5 debuted.
