Apple Events: New iPhone and iPad Mini Expected to Debut this Fall

Sources indicate Apple will debut the next iteration of its iPhone during an event slated for September 12.
A second event, currently scheduled for October, is expected to feature the so-called “iPad mini” — a smaller version of the company’s popular tablet with a display of less than eight inches.
Recent speculation hinted at both products being announced at a single event. However, sources have debunked that theory.
“I don’t think Apple would want reviews of both a new iPhone and new-size iPad appearing at the same time,” writes John Gruber on his Daring Fireball blog. “Why share the spotlight? Why have another Apple product battling with the iPhone for the top spots in news coverage?”
“With a new iPhone and a new, diminutive iPad in the pipeline, Apple has two opportunities to commandeer the tech news cycle ahead of the annual holiday shopping binge, and it’s going to take them both,” suggests AllThingsD.
