A new, fifth generation of the iPhone is expected to be announced on September 12th according to reports.
Apple fan blogs and rumour sites are speculating that a new model will feature a larger screen and support high speed data connections.
Outside the US Apple has fallen foul of consumer protection and advertising regulators after describing its new iPad as 4G despite it not working with local 4G networks.
There are also rumours of a smaller iPad aimed at competing with low-cost Android tablets such as Amazon’s Kindle Fire.
