Here are your Apple rumors and news items for Tuesday: iPhone in Autumn:
September is usually the iPods time to shine when it comes to Apples (NASDAQ:
AAPL ) product release cycle. According to a Tuesday report at All Things
Digital , though, it might be the iPhones show this year. An Avian Securities
analyst believes that Apple will debut the iPhone 5 in September based on word
from component suppliers working with Apple. While the company has traditionally
debuted new iPhone models in June, the companys product cycle has been disrupted
in 2011 by the February release of the Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) iPhone 4 and the
March release of the iPad 2. No iPad 3 For You: Consumers holding out for a
rumored iPad 3 later this year, should give up the ghost, according to DigiTimes
. The paper says a third-generation iPad, with a significantly improved touch
screen resolution, is only in the initial planning stage. Whatever the
technology in the iPad turns out to be, it likely wont appear until 2012.
Seventeen and Seven: Its common knowledge that Apple has had a strong quarter,
with a new iPhone release for a new carrier and a new iPad. Mike Abramsky of RBC
Capital Markets issued a note to investors in Tuesday predicting sales of 17
million iPhones and 7 million for the quarter that ended April 1. Abramsky also
