Apple may be gearing up to introduce cheaper iPhone and MacBook models in 2009, possibly including a device dubbed the iPhone nano. 

Judging by checks with Apple suppliers, it appears the Cupertino, Calif., computer maker may be getting ready to introduce “a lower-cost version” of the popular iPhone.

Some call this device the iPhone nano.”, ” Whatever one calls it, we believe this device is on its way.”

“a new and smaller version of the iPod shuffle,” possibly in the middle of the first quarter and a cheaper MacBook notebook, although, “We do not believe this PC will qualify as a netbook.”

Don’t expect the products to be ready in time for a rollout at the upcoming MacWorld expo next week.

Officials at Apple could not immediately be reached for comment.
