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.

i THINK you meant ipod shuffle and classic up there
New t-shirt:
“I waited 16 months and all I got was a lousy, spec-bumped iPhone 4”
No matter what will be unveiled. I’ll still upgrade. So over my 3GS.
Agreed.
I’ll buy one from ya.
I hear you. The alarm on my 3GS sporadically works at this point. It has a big crack across the screen. Mainly though, it’s just slowing down. Processes that at one time were snappy, are noticeably slower (and it’s not even half-full of apps/music/etc).Â
Really though, if I wanted an iPhone 4, I would have bought one last year. So not excited for a spec-bumped iPhone 4.
Or the two entries are for the 8gb Gsm black iPhone 4 and the 8gb cdma iPhone 4
Sooo over my G1!
wait,you need more evidence that a effin iphone is going to be coming out next tue,after the invitation said lets talk iphone? jesus captain obvious thanks for making such an amazing contribution to the site
Well… One iPhone is confirmed, but not two. But to be fair, there are at least 50 articles claiming rumors of 2 iPhones being announced on the 4th. Nothing new is ever reported… What better way of creating news than taking old news and making it sound new?
