Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) fans may finally breathe
easy at last because the technology giant may announce its largest second-half
product launch in time for the holiday shopping season this year. With the
iPhone 5 and iPad Mini creating a huge buzz, these products have soared in
popularity even before their official launch.
Brian White, Topeka Capital Markets analyst, has
predicted that the results of the remaining two quarters of 2012 will be
extremely lucrative for Apple, given its powerful supply chain. Sales of
Apple’s Taiwanese component makers rose to 14 % in July. Collating the figures
of 7 years, it has been reported that June-to-July sales in general have gone
by 8.5%.

The iPhone 5 was always a highly-anticipated
device even before iPhone 4S was launched, but the iPad Mini did not enjoy the
same fame due to Steve Jobs disagreeing to the concept of the 7-inch size of
the format. But according to recent reports, it is being said that a smaller
version of iPad is being developed. The 7-inch tablet will have some unique
features, but some state that it might not be released till 2013. This might be
due to the fact that this company has never released two hugely hyped products
in the same month.
Spokespersons have held their silence about the
launching of a new Apple product on the 12th of September. But
analysts are hopeful that iPhone 5 is being launched on that day itself and hit
the shelves within two weeks. Although the launch of iPad Mini remains
uncertain, the process might be accelerated if Amazon succeeds in releasing
three brand new versions of its tablet, Kindle Fire in September. Google has
already released its own tablet, Nexus 7, whereas Microsoft will launch its
Windows 8 tablet, Surface after 2 months of so.
