It's being speculated that Apple may be moving to a semi-annual release cycle for its products which would see the iPhone and iPad receive one major and one minor update each year.
Over the past 24-48 hours Apple has reportedly made large cuts to its orders with iPhone component suppliers leading to another big dip in the company's stock.
Now that Apple has improved the iPhone's antenna, Consumer Reports is willing to recommend the device; however, the site gives several Android handsets a higher score than the iPhone 4S.
Apple today announced the Wi-Fi versions of iPad mini and fourth generation iPad with Retina display will be available in China on Friday, December 7, and iPhone 5 will be available on Friday, December 14.
