Next-gen iPhone, ‘iPad mini,’ new iPod nano to debut on September 12

iPhone 5 mockupApple will reveal the next-generation iPhone, which many expect to be called the ‘iPhone 5′, a much-rumored smaller iPad model that some have dubbed the ‘iPad mini’ and a new iPod nano on Sep­tem­ber 12th, accord­ing to unsub­stan­ti­ated reports.

The same reports also sug­gest the sixth-generation iPhone will go on sale on Sep­tem­ber 19th, but a roll­out date for the smaller iPad and iPod nano remain unknown.

The dates are in line with at least one analyst’s pro­jec­tion of an early Sep­tem­ber launch for the next-generation iPhone and iPad mini, although other ana­lysts have fore­cast that the ‘iPad mini’ will be released later in the year fol­low­ing an August man­u­fac­tur­ing ramp-up.

The next-generation iPhone is expected to be taller and slim­mer, with a big­ger, 4 inch screen, and include the new, smaller 19-pin dock connector.

A num­ber of rumours sug­gest the iPad mini will be very sim­i­lar to the 9.7 inch iPad, but scaled down to around 7 inches and also include the smaller 19-pin dock connector.
