iPhone 5 in September?

iPhone 5 may be arriving in September, according to Digitimes. It claims that the device manufacturer has already been instructed to begin production. Rumours are now floating around the tech world about a possible unveiling in June, with a 10-inch iPad to launch later in the year.

As you may well know, Apple doesn’t assemble its own products, summoning in companies like Pegatron and Foxconn to do all the bolting together for them. Pegatron was the company that did the grunt work in building the iPhone 4S and Digitimes reports it’s received orders to start work on the follow-up.

It claims that the phone is due to go on sale in September, which could mean that Apple officially unveils it at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June — an event it has previously used to launch new kit. That would mean an unusually long delay between an announcement and it going on sale though, so it may be that a separate event will be planned.

The report also mentions a 10-inch iPad is on the way later in the year. Bit weird though, considering that the current model is of a similar size.
