This is the time of year that Apple typically shows off the latest generation of its iPhone, a device that has reshaped the way people use computers since its debut in 2007.
According to reports published in technology blogs, the stripped-down iPhone will be called the “5C” and be housed in plastic casing that will be offered in a variety of colours instead of an aluminum casing.
A new version of the high-end iPhone also is expected to be revealed. The top-of-the-line model, expected to be dubbed the “5S,” will be the first to be sold with Apple’s revamped mobile software, iOS 7, already installed.
The “5S” is also expected to feature a better camera, faster processor, and fingerprint reader to unlock the phone.
In terms of additional surprises, some tech analysts think Apple might offer some insight into a new iPod Touch and Nano.
