SAN FRANCISCO, May 10 (UPI) -- The next generations of Apple's iPhone and iPad could be ready for consumers in the fall, sources have told tech Web site Digitimes.

Numerous sources in Apple's supply chain, based in Taiwan, told Digitimes that Pegatron Technology has received orders for a new-generation iPhone to be launched in September and a 10-inch iPad to be launched in the fourth quarter.

Pegatron, which currently manufactures the iPhone 4S and the new iPad, has completed an expansion of its manufacturing facilities and its labor force to prepare for the Apple orders, the sources said.
