Now that the hype of the all new Apple iPhone 5 has died down, we now turn our focus towards the upcoming iPad mini and we’re certain this time that it’s sporting a rear camera.

Apple has just announced the iPhone 5 with a whole list of new hardware in line for consumers all around the world.

No guys we aren’t joking about this one here! Apparently an insider at AT&T has confirmed with BGR of the launch of Apple’s new iPhone 5 by the end of September this year!

Apple’s annual product release cycles come with their own ritualistic song and dance. Whenever the fruit company is close to announcing a new device, he hear a plethora of rumors from a wide variety of sources. Furthermore images of allegedly leaked parts surface every other week. One does not know what or who to believe unless and until Apple officially makes the announcement.

Apple is about to launch the next generation iPhone in approximately one month, which means that the aforementioned song and dance has already been well under way. Even today, images of what are thought to be leaked new iPhone parts have surfaced online and they do tell quite a story.

The leaked parts displayed in these pictures are supposed to form the face, so to speak, of the next generation iPhone. These parts include the front panel, black and white Home buttons, nano SIM tray, circuitry and a mysterious piece of, never before seen, what seems to be a metal plate.

From the looks of it the front panel tells a story we all want to hear. It seems to be large enough to accommodate the larger display we have been expecting on the next generation iPhone. Nano SIM try also confirms a previous rumor that the upcoming iPhone will support nano SIMs. The function of this mysterious black plate, thought to be of metal, is still unknown. Though it is likely that this plate will be used for protecting the innards of this device as well as providing overall structural integrity.

The legitimacy of the source which first published these images can obviously be questioned. For all we know, these components may never materialize on the next generation iPhone. Though almost all the components we see here solidify most of the rumors we have heard up till now. The announcement of this upcoming iPhone is expected next month and only then will we have final answers.

A design flaw is certainly not synonymous with the near perfect Apple devices we all love and adore. However they’re not impossible. Time and again, owners of the New iPad have complained of overheating issues. The issue was big enough to draw criticism from Consumer Reports. It is now being reported that Apple might tweak the design of New iPad in order to put this overheating issue to bed once and for all.

The New iPad was unveiled earlier this year in March. The third generation tablet comes with no significant design changes. All of the changes have been made under the hood, as this tablet touts a dual-core A5X processor. The battery provides the same legendary 10 hour battery life. This iPad comes with retina display, which really is an amazing leap in display technology of tablets. However, the initial package seems to be encountering problems, as a large number of users are facing overheating issues.

According to Digitimes, a trade publication that has a massive hit or miss record when it comes to rumors, Apple is working on a slight design teak of New iPad. This tweak will comprise of a reworked LED backlight and a revised battery. The lens is also rumored to be enlarged, though no specific reason has been cited for this. According to this rumor, these tweaks can make the New iPad slightly thinner and lighter than the initial one.

The same sources claims in another report that Apple might revert back to single LED backlight in order reduce emission of heat. Currently the New iPad flaunts a dual-LED bar. This was put in place because of the Retina Display. Since dual-LED bar emits more heat, reverting back to singe LED could significantly reduce the overheating issue. Its said that a single LED backlight will not have any effect whatsoever on the Retina Display, which is one major selling point of the New iPad. These tweaked iPads are also expected to tout Sharp’s IGZO panels, which were previously disapproved by Apple because they did not meet quality guidelines.

These reports should be taken with a pinch of salt though. This source has a bumpy track record, and is usually not right about rumors. Nevertheless iPad users would definitely welcome the elimination of overheating issues. It remains to be seen what Apple will decide to do with early adopters. It might just end up trading New iPads for the latest, tweaked versions.

It nearly has been two years since we have been hearing about a new tablet offering from Apple. Ironically, the company itself hasn’t uttered a word about this elusive product. Much has been said, heard and written about the Apple iPad Mini. With Google announcing it’s 7 inch offering, the aptly named Nexus 7, last week iPad Mini rumors have started cropping up online again. Today’s report claims that Apple iPad Mini will be competing with Nexus 7 in the market and will reportedly be priced around the $249 to $299 mark.

We’re aware of the fact that Apple kick started the tablet revolution back in 2010 with the original iPad. Since then, the market has viciously responded. Almost every other manufacturer has a tablet out, but none comes at par with the iPad. Apple iPad is the best tablet out there, so why would the company take a gamble on an entirely new form factor?

The gamble doesn’t end there. The mid-range 7 inch tablet market is currently dominated by Amazon Kindle Fire. Soon enough, Nexus 7 will account for a major market share as well. Back in 2010, there wasn’t such competition for the iPad. Every subsequent tablet after it was measured up against the iPad to see whether it was worth it’s while. With the mid-range tablet market being so strong as it is, can Apple really afford to have it’s iPad Mini compared with the likes of Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire, to see if it is any good?

According to latest reports, the iPad Mini will actually tout a 7.85 inch screen, the panel for which will be provided by Sharp. The IGZO panels were said to have been disapproved by Apple for the third generation iPad, but now it seems these panels were meant for the iPad Mini. The company is it’s tight lipped self as usual, for now we have to rely on mere rumors to ascertain whether iPad Mini is going to materialize or not. My two cents? It won’t ever see the light at the tunnel’s end. You’re welcome to give yours down below.
