Apple to launch Next Gen iPhone in September, 7-inch iPad in August and new MacBook Air in between – Part 1

Apple is again in rumours these days and it is not just the upcoming iPhone but almost every gadget that the company sells has been aimed by rumour guns. In recent news hovering in the media, Pegatron Corporation has landed at Cupertino for the new iPhone, which is touted to be slimmer and longer than the previous iPhones.

The Taiwanese company specializes in notebooks, tablets and smartphones and manufactures components and peripherals for major electronics manufacturers. It is rumoured that the sixth generation iPhone will have some mesmerizing features besides a new shape and design. The most talked about is its bigger 4-inch Retina Display touch screen that is an upgrade over previous 3.5-inch displays.

The new phone expected to be launched in September, in the same period when 2011 version of the smartphone, iPhone 4S was released. However, no specific dates have been released or leaked. There are rumours that the new iPhone may shore up in the June-set Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco.

Rumour also has it that the company might also launch a new 7-inch iPad to cater to the competition from the likes of Kindle Fire, Samsung Tab 2 7.0/7.7 and Barnes and Noble Nook Tablet. Since the release of the Kindle Fire, it seems like the market trend has changed. The $199 7-inch basically Android-based tablet has been selling like hot cakes and the trend seems to continue in an upward stream.

In the light of the new competition, Apple is allegedly planning to launch a new iPad with a smaller screen and cheaper price tag. It is stipulated to arrive in the market in August this year.
