According to FBR Capital Markets analyst Craig Berger, Apple could be set to release a successor to the iPad 2 before the end of the year.
The analyst claims Apple could brand it the ‘iPad 2 Plus’ to avoid backlash from anybody who’s just forked out £400 for an iPad 2.
“There are some indications from the supply chain that Apple may look to introduce an ‘iPad 2 Plus’ device as they put out request for quotes from various component suppliers for this marginally different device,” Berger commented in a research note.
“We now hear that component makers have received request-for-quotes (RFQs) from Apple for an ‘iPad 2 Plus’, though no production schedule has yet been confirmed with suppliers”
If this turns out to be the case, a new iPad and iPhone will both be on shop shelves before the year is out. It was today rumoured that the iPhone 5 will be thinner, lighter, and have an 8 megapixel camera. Several sources are pointing towards a September launch.

I bought an iPad 2 shortly after it was released. Should a new one release any time soon, I’ll be pretty gosh darn annoyed. Apple is continually iterating its products, and while I can justify a new iPad after a year – six months is simply too soon. This is likely to annoy a good few people.
