After a key meeting with suppliers and manufacturers in Asia, Goldman Sachs analysts reported this week that Apple will most likely introduce two revisions to the iPhone in 2008 and an Apple TV overhaul.
David Bailey wrote in a research note that his Far Eastern contacts had led him to believe that, “Apple has several important new products lined up for 2008.”
Among those products is a second-generation iPhone which is said to the in the “final design phase” and is expected to “have a similar form factor as the current version although it could have a different look and will probably include 3G capability.”
The analyst estimates that the second-generation iPhone will launch sometime during the second half of the year, but also believes the company will tie over consumers with “a smaller upgrade with more flash memory earlier in the year.”
The analyst also writes on the potential of a significant Apple TV update in the second half of 2008. No details were offered other than it “could include an LCD display.”
“Apple will refresh its entire Mac line-up throughout 2008, but information about the potential launch of a subnotebook was scarce, with one supplier saying that the product may be pushed out, citing possible design issues,” he added.
