Is Apple Set to Launch the iPhone 5 at WWDC in June?

Boy Genius Report has news today of a story on DigiTimes, which in turn sourced the story from Chinese-language newspaper Commercial Times, which said that Apple plans to announce the iPhone 5 at its annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June. MacRumors, also covering the story, notes that Apple has yet to announce the dates for this years WWDC, although June 10-15 has already been leaked by an unofficial source. The information apparently came from a Daiwa Securities analyst, and if it proves to be accurate it will mean that after breaking with recent tradition with last years October launch of the iPhone 4S, Apple is now getting back on track to its previous summertime launch schedule. The report did not have much more information about the next iPhone other than the possible launch at WWDC, aside from saying that it will have glass-to-glass touch panel technology supplied by TPK Holding and Wintek.

lol 930? I got mine for 600 but its the 4 not 4S... next year it will be 700 for the 64GB model that I will pay

so your never going to upgrade phones again? its not like the iphone will ever get worse but I would not keep mine for more then 2 iphone upgrades.

I don't think we will see a new phone in June, it is way too early. I think that based on apples past the next update would need to be a significant one. Perhaps a larger screen. It would be great for users and developers if apple increased the screen res for the iphone to 1024 x 768 to match the current iPads, this would open up all the ipad apps for use on the phone and standardise res for developers, meaning developing universal apps would be much easier. I think with a retina screen the phone would only be a little bit wider and taller but I think that the extra res would make the device a lot more usable in a mobile environment.

Screen size is one of the biggest pull factors for other smartphones with users at the moment, even if Apples retina displays have more res.

I doubt apple will release a phone less then a year after the previous release.. the iphone 4 to 4S was a year and a half so from all the iphones that where released where after a major firmware release.. ie iphone 3G was released a few weeks after ios 2.0 and 3GS was after ios 3.0 and so on... so we can predict that it will be the same for ios 6 and the next device.. and atm we don't even have ios 5.1 so we have along time to go yet

Why would it be wasted? I know several people who buy a new iPhone outright every year. They sell the previous year's model JB & Unlocked (if available) and that amounts to roughly 3/4 of what the new one will cost them. That doesn't necessarily mean you need to go out and buy one every year.

I only just got my 4S at Xmas time and I will definitely be selling it and buying the next iPhone when it comes out.
