Apple appears to be tweaking its inventory database, making room for two versions of the iPhone 4, as well as a slightly updated iPod touch, multiple reports suggest Wednesday. The reports come on the heels of Apple announcing a media event for October 4, ‘Let’s Talk iPhone.’


The Cupertino, Calif. company has added two new entries in its database for the iPhone 4. The current GSM iPhone 4 carries the inventory codenamed N90, according to the reports. Two entries of N90A recently appeared, which some have interpreted as signs of black and white versions of a slightly-updated 8GB iPhone 4. Further reports of leaked parts destined for the low-end iPhone 4S, codenamed N94, have yet to appear in Apple’s inventory database, reports say.

Speculation on what to expect next Tuesday has centered on whether Apple will unveil two new handsets: the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4S, or simple one smartphone. The latest reports suggest the tech giant will also unveil a new white iPod touch. Such talk has been spurred by a Tuesday report indicating Apple is ready to retire the iPod shuffle and iPod nano later this year.
