Apple May Launch New iPhone And iPad Mini In September

No Comments »According to Brian White, an analyst with Topeka Capital Markets, Apple is gearing up for an "exciting" September with not one, but two major product launches lined up, the new iPhone and an iPad mini.

White bases his assertions on conversations he's had with his supply chain sources in Taiwan, where he is currently attending the 2012 Computex trade show.

He believes that Apple would launch the sixth generation iPhone in September this year, rather than October:

"Regarding the widely anticipated iPhone 5, we believe a September launch is more likely than October, while we also believe this will be coupled with the 'iPad Mini' unveiling that we were the first to uncover last Autumn."

The iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 were all debuted at WWDC in June. Apple broke the tradition in 2011 by releasing iPhone 4S in October, and it seems that the company is planning to do that again with a September launch of the new iPhone this year.

White's sources also add that the next iPhone might feature a unibody aluminium casing. As per component leaks, the next gen iPhone would have a two-tone back panel with a major portion made of metal, presumably aluminium, and the rest made of glass.
