Apple is expected to launch the next edition of the iPhone on September 12, along with the eagerly awaited iOS 6 and the next-generation iPod touch.
Before 2011, Apple had always launched the iPhone in summers while the iPod was rolled out in the fall, for the holiday season. However, Apple deviated from that practice last year when it unveiled the iPhone 4S in October, whereas the only tweak in the iPod came in the form of an additional colour option. A complete overhaul of the iconic touch device is long overdue and many expect the manufacturer to bring out a completely refreshed version during the iPhone launch event itself.
This year, the same launch schedule is expected to be followed and iOS 6, which was first unveiled by Apple in June, will be officially rolled out too. The new version of the company's popular operating system features Apple's maps as it has done away with Google Maps. The mobile OS will also boast of new iCloud features, including 'Documents in the Cloud', which consists of new applications like Pages, Keynotes and Numbers, while some features such as Calendar and Contacts will be upgraded.
Along with these, FaceTime will be made compatible with 3G networks in the new iOS, while a new app called Passbook will allow users to book airline tickets. With iOS 6, Apple has removed the YouTube native app, though users can download it from Apple App Store.
