iPhone 5 Not Coming At WWDC – Probably Not Till 2012

In what will come as a major shock to most Apple fans, it will appear that Apple are not planning on introducing the next generation iPhone 5 at this years WWDC
There are multiple reports to back up this case. Firstly Apple announcement for this years WWDC clearly stated that they were focusing more on software.

Then the loop reported that Apple is not planning on introducing any hardware what so ever at the WWDC this year, even though Apple has announced the next gen iPhone at it every year without fail.

Apple closed the door this morning on any speculation that it would announce new hardware at its Worldwide Developers conference saying it would focus on iOS and Mac OS.
Apple’s apparent focus on software in its WWDC announcement backs up what my own sources are saying about the annual conference. That is, expect a software show in 2011, not a hardware event.

However this doesn’t mean the iPhone 5 wont be coming this year, it just won’t come at WWDC
Another Analyst reckons that the iPhone 5 will launch during September, which is when Apple usually announces new iPod’s.
A Japanese blog Macotakara has claimed that the iPhone 5 will “probably” not ship until 2012 since there has been no official contracts been aligned by Apple to start producing the iPhone 5 at this date. They did clarify later that by 2012 they meant the end of Apple’s fiscal year 2011 which would see there 2012 year start in late September.
So at the moment it’s looking more like a September release for the iPhone 5 i’m afraid to inform you.
