Apple could be lifting the iPhone 5 lid on June 5 according to fan site AppleBitch. Beady-eyed readers did some digging on the potential release date for the next-generation iPhone and came up trumps with a conference schedule for favoured Apple venue, the Moscone Centre.
It appears that Camp Cupertino has booked out the venue for a “corporate meeting” between June 5 and 9 believed to be for its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). The vague booking description could be anything, however, Apple traditionally books venues using this event name. The centre is also booked out for other events later in the month which suggests that 5 June may be D-Day for the iPhone 5.
Another “corporate meeting” is booked at the San Francisco based venue for May 10 and 11 as well which has thrown speculation slightly off track. The iPhone normally comes out towards the end of June so an announcement a few weeks before fits the bill quite nicely. Some believe the May conference could be used for the iPad 2 but we’re hoping it’ll be out in the market by then.
Either way, June 5 is pencilled into our diaries for a potential announcement of the NFC-sporting iDevice. With Steve Jobs likely to be on sick leave for the foreseeable future, it’s thought Apple’s Head of Marketing Phil Schiller will step into his CEO’s shoes to make the announcement as he did with the iPhone 3GS. Wonder if he’ll wear a black polo-neck?
