No Iphone 5 at WWDC 2011

Its still obviously just speculation really but looks like no iphone 5 in June.

Apple’s own WWDC press release states that the event will be a “preview of the future of iOS and Mac OS X” with no mention of hardware, but it’s the well-connected Jim Darymple who squishes the hardware talk:

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.

Further evidence that iPhone 5 may not be coming this summer comes from the Japanese Mac blog Macotakara, who cites sources in China who say that iPhone 5 has not begun manufacturing yet, and instead it may be released sometime in the fiscal 2012 quarter, which would be somewhere between October 2011 to March 2012.

They were discussing this on MacBreak Weekly the other day - personally I don't see Apple shooting themselves in the foot by not releasing a new model this year. Possibly the iPhone 4s?

maybe the iPhone 4G, and iPhone 4 with a 4G radio and the dual core A5 processor

I guess a lot would depend on Apple being able to source parts in Japan...

I would not be surprised is there's no new iPhone this year. What with the release of the CDMA iPhone 4, and the white iPhone 4, they've still got enough visibility on that front. I do hope that iOS 5 comes out this year though. It could be enough of a refresh to not really require a new phone release just yet.

I really don't think they will release the "iPhone 5" this year.
