This last quarter of the year is going to see some spectacular new phones being launched from just about every company. And that includes Apple. In fact, as to what Apple has planned certainly caused a decent discussion with my twitter buddies the other day.

And as to how spectacular remains to be seen, but Apple is sure to makes some bold colourful moves. I believe Apple will do the following.

The iPhone 5 will be upgraded to the iPhone 5S with improved camera, processor and not too much more. The real secret will be iOS 7, and the additional software exclusives that will bring to the 5S. In reality, there is nothing wrong with the current iPhone 5. It is a very powerful device and easy to hold due to its size and light weight. In past times, the new iPhone allows the older models to be sold at a lower price.

But the iPhone 4S features the old connector and not the new lightning version. It is also made of glass and is probably still fairly expensive to manufacture. So one thing is for sure, the 4S will be killed off this year. It will be replaced by new fashionable range of lower cost iPhones which will be available in many colours. It will be made of polycarbonate and cost less to produce. It will more than likely features the guts of the current iPhone 5 but as mentioned in a cheaper body.

The iPads. The new full size iPad will be lighter, and overall be smaller due to a thinner profile and bezel, very similar to the current iPad Mini. The iPad Mini will be update with a better screen, maybe retina.

The iPod Touch will remain as this will be at a cheaper price point the any of the new iPhones. With regards to the iPods these will remain pretty much the same, just with minor improvements.
