Apple 10142 Published by

Apple Insider reports that a new rumor claims Apple will begin production of a so-called "iPhone 4S," along with a new iPad model in the first week of September, on track for release in October.



The latest rumor supports claims from Taiwanese tech industry publication DigiTimes made in early July, which said Apple will release a fifth-generation iPhone and third-generation iPad in October, after production begins in September. However, that story claimed Apple would only launch one new iPhone model.

It was also said in July that Apple's new iPad would be even thinner and lighter than the current iPad 2. The device's screen resolution will allegedly be increased to 250 dots per inch, making it a "Retina Display" with a pixel density closer to the iPhone 4.
