There have been many reports that Apple is readying a cheaper iPhone. A new rumor from Digitimes suggests that Apple will be releasing a cheap iPhone made of plastic or a "chassis mixed with plastic and metal, with the internal metal parts being able to be seen from outside through special design" to keep costs down.
News and Rumors for the iPhone

I was very upset when Apple discontinued the sixth generation iPod nano design. The design change shot down most other rumors regarding an Apple iWatch and left us with a standard mp3 player design. Don't lose hope though, according to a new rumor, it looks like we may get an iWatch after all.
A big problem people had with the third generation iPad was its size. Apple somehow managed to release a product that was actually a bit thicker than the iPad 2. This was due to the Retina display intergrated on the new old iPad. Pushing that many pixels requires a bigger battery and it made the device a tad bit thicker. This may all change in 2013.
