Apple iPod and iPhone spoilers.

Ahead of next Tuesday's Apple event, a few spoilers have leaked.

Apparently their have been 5 changes to the internal apple inventory. 2 under the iPhone heading and 3 under the iPod heading. So we are expecting large scale changes to the iLine. For the first time we may have to models of iPhone available. Suggestions being an upgraded iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5. Also it seems they may be throwing their weight behind the already super cool iPod nano's. Suggestions are that the range will be expanded to have 3 different sizes (possibly 8gb, 16gb and 32gb).

Other suggestions are the removal of the shuffle and classic from the line.

Personally I’m a massive fan of the Classic. Its audio quality is arguably better than the touch or the iPhone. Its storage space sets it clearly in a league of its own. I can't see the benefit of removing the only item that fits into the high storage market. For that reason i can't see them dropping it, unless sales have dropped below some minimum level and even than i would hope they would than release a touch with at least 100gb storage.

With regards to the shuffle, it does have its market being a cheap mp3 player. That said the nano is pretty much the same size with infinitely more functionality, the only problem being the difference in price though they may well fill the gap with a cheaper entry level nano.

The hint seems to be, if you want a classic or shuffle it may be the wrong decision to wait to long before buying one.
