Recent reports have revealed that Gene Munster, an analyst of Piper Jaffray, indicated that a new design for the iPhone 5 may be released by Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) for next year. This was revealed through a note to investors by Munster, who anticipated the iPhone 4 to be released sometime during the summer.

Aside from the iPhone 5, Munster also indicated that the company will release only one iPhone 3 model. This comes as reports have emerged on the possibility of a number of iPad models to be released by Apple in the future.

Munster also indicated that the base scenario should result to 142 million units of iPhones sold until 2013. This is an increase of 18 percent compared to the previous year when the iPhone 5 will be released.

A bull case will see an increase of around 35 percent as sales may reach 162 million units. Munster also revealed that only one model of the iPad will be released in the coming year while total earnings of Apple will increase by around 14 percent with the release of the iPhone 5.

For a number of observers, these are mainly predictions made by Munster on the possible new design of the iPhone 5. However there may be the possibility that Munster may have some knowledge about the plans of the company for the iPhone 5 although observers have indicated that it may be nothing more than an educated guess.

Some observers have also indicated that the recent release of the iPhone 4S last fall was likely a shift in the production schedule of the company and it will be very much possible for the company to release the iPhone 5 at around the same period in the coming year.

In connection to the iPad, some observers agree with the prediction of Munster that the company will release only one model of the device since it is doubtful that Apple will release different size options for the device which may feature the Retina Display. In the end, the release schedule of the iPhone 5 and the possibility of only one iPad remains uncertain until the devices are finally released into the market.
