It has been said so far that Apple is going to release new iDevices this fall and it seems that the rumors are proving to be true because Apple is going to release new versions of the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch in the fall. Beside iPhone 5, iPad Mini si iPod Touch 5G, Apple would also launch a new version of the iPad 3, all with the idea of implementing the new 19-pin connector port in all its iDevices. This is what the people from iMore which cites sources close to Apple who say that Apple is interested in standardizing this new connector port on all its iDevices, even if that means updating the iPad 3 or iPad 2 this fall.
iMore has learned that Apple intends to update their entire lineup of iOS device products to support the new, miniaturized Dock connector, and to do it as early as the rumored September 12 special event this fall. This would include the new iPhone 5, the new iPod nano and iPod touch, the rumored 7-inch iPad mini, and an updated version of the current 9.7-inch iPad. Apparently, Apple believes consistent Dock connectors across the line, and other improvements they're able to make to the new iPad at this point, are more important than sticking to annual release schedules. Apple has previously shown little aversion to extending release schedules, with a 16 month gap between iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, and no substantial iPod touch updates for 23 months and counting. But what about significantly shortening them?
The implementation of the new 19-pin connector port in the iPhone 5, iPad Mini and iPod Touch 5G is credible, but the release of a new and improved version of the iPad 3 seems unlikely at the moment. Of course, the possibility of these products appearing on September 12 is not excluded, but for now we are only talking about rumors and nothing more.
