Yeah can't see the phone being announced if they are sticking to the October release cycle. But that said, so many rumours point to a June release that you just never know
What rumours? I haven't seen many to date, apart from a leaked home button the other day.
Problem is that a lot of rumours tend to arise from websites stating their speculation as if it were fact, or by people having a wild guess, or by people thinking that any possible next generation product could be released at WWDC. Going by this last bit of logic, the likelihood of the iPhone 5 coming out is only a slight amount more likely than an ATV 4 coming out...
How can you possibly know that?
All media event threads in the past have been in the Hardware forums regardless of what will and have occurred.
In conclusion - No.
I personally believe the next iPhone (Which will almost definitely just be called "iPhone", as it's iPad brother has become), will be released in the same timeframe as the iPhone 4S - But there is still a possibility of showing it off at the WWDC. I agree that iOS 6.0 is much more likely to make an appearance.
I also have a feeling the iMacs may make a showing at WWDC... it might just be my wishful thinking though

It will be called "The New Iphone"
If its following the same name logic as the ipad !

As far as I know the latest iPad isn't called "The New iPad". It just was... well the new and latest iPad
They're using the same naming routine as Macs in the past. For example, you don't call a Macbook Pro a "Macbook Pro 5" So this year, I imagine it'll be "iPhone (2012 Model)".
Cannot tell if serious...
...? only thing to be announced at WWDC is generally iPhone's which I still think WWDC will be too early for the next one

Sold out in two hours. At this rate WWDC in 2014 will sell out in minutes & 2015 will sell out in seconds. *gulp*
You really, really need to go and look at some past WWDCs.
sorry, i think you need to do some more research...
the last time hardware was announced other than i devices at WWDC was like 2006?

WWDC 2009 had Macbook Airs and Pros updated and iPhone 3GS.
It isn't a "Software Only" conference. So anything is possible.
There's no chance of a new iPhone announcement at all. Eight months after the launch of the 4S? No way - they'll alienate far too many 4S owners and put people off upgrading as frequently in the future.
As to what new hardware will be announced, if any, how about the iPod Touch perhaps? Just guessing here but it's been a while now since the 4th gen was launched so possibly a new model with the dual-core A5 from the 4S? If I was feeling really bold I'd speculate that maybe they'd launch one with a new 32nm processor as a test-bed for the next iPhone, much as they've tested the waters with the 32nm process with the A5 in the iPad2 recently?
