More Analysts Say “No” To Two iPhone Models This Year

Yesterday, we heard an analyst opine that Apple would make two iPhones this year — a move both TechCrunch and Daring Fireball see as a possibility (though I’d give a lot more weight to the latter rather than former). However, now we’re hearing form other industry analysts who say that it’s not going to happen, and that we’re going to see the previously assumed iPhone 4S only this Autumn.

BMO Capital’s Keith Bachman says that they believe Apple will retain their policy of older handsets as cheaper models and FBR Capital Markets analyst Craig Berger checked supply lines and finds no evidence of a low-cost handset. Berger also throws water on the rumor of another iPad this year, citing a small update for the iPhone in the first half of September, and a new iPad next year.
