Analysts asked the company why some customers have been holding back on handset upgrades, to which the company CFO, Francis J. Shammo said: "There is always that Rumour Mill out there with a new phone coming out in the fourth quarter. And so people may be waiting."
That's a pretty vague reference and could simply mean the company chief is looking to the range of handsets expected to appear for the Christmas quarter, but with most manufacturers likely holding back on significant releases in the period for fear of going up against the market giant that is the iPhone it would be a surprise if he was thinking about anything else.
Of course, this isn't definitive evidence of Apple's plans but with carriers in Europe and the US recently reported to be stockpiling the Apple-designed new nano-SIM for use in future handsets the circumstantial evidence continues to pile up.
