“On a slow news day, with U.S. markets closed for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, there’s always room for one more Apple rumor,” Barbara Kollmeyer reports for MarketWatch.
“The latest came out of Asia on Sunday night. If the string of reports is correct, Apple is going to announce three new smartphones this year,” Kollmeyer reports. “The first two are apparently new iPhone models –a 4-inch iPhone 5S device and a 4.8-inch curiously named iPhone Math.”
Kollmeyer reports, “BrightWire reports, based on these sources, that these two iPhones will be released by June, and feature 8-megapixel cameras.
