Pegatron said to already be receiving orders for the iPhone 5 and a 10" iPad, of all things

Pegatron, which is currently one of the OEMs that manufacture the iPhone 4S and the new iPad, is rumored to have already received orders from Apple for the iPhone 5 and, pretty unbelievable, a 10" iPad.

Digitimes says the next iPhone is to be announced in September, and the 10-incher in the fourth quarter, while a 7" Apple tablet is to be manufactured by Foxconn for an August release.

The rumors on the tablet front seem quite out of whack, so we wouldn't lose much sleep over them, plus they may be just trial runs, which companies like Apple do all the time to check on the end result, but the iPhone 5 rumor is pretty plausible.

Last year, the iPhone 4S was announced in October, so it's not far-fetched to assume that the next one will be available about a year after, if history is any indication, complete with the eventual larger display, and the obligatory LTE radio.
