For that to happen Apple would either do a small launch, which won't happen if this is the big refresh that it'll likely be, or they'll have another conference for it, which they won't, because WWDC has already been announced.

The iPhone-5 may be launched at WWDC - it may not. Point is nobody knows for sure - and like the last iPhone thread a lot of people were shocked by Apple.

It won't be, trust me.

People may have been shocked by what Apple launched last time, but not by the timescales. They'll never replace an iPhone or iPad inside of a year, it makes no market sense whatsoever.

It won't be a big launch though, as I highly doubt it would be a big refresh. It's going to be a spec bump, Ivy Bridge, and 79x0M GPUs along with a couple of other things.

If it would have been anything more, we would have seen part leaks or rumours by now. It will be a Tuesday launch where the store goes down, then has new iMacs on when it comes back up

I have to agree, they'll wait until September~ time again.

Have you seen the Q2 sales figures for the iPhone? The amount being sold is absolutely insane (35 million~).

Hoping there will be an iLife 2012 at this years WWDC.

Full 64 bit iMovie please Apple !

howler · 26 Apr 2012 at 13:01

As much as I'd like to see a new iPhone I don't think there will be

As already said, too soon after the 4S launch and usually the rumours are flying round a couple of months in advance of the new iPhone releases

There is no way they will announce the iPhone 5 at WWDC. iOS6 maybe, iPhone 5 no.

I saw that, in Q1 this year, they sold over half a million iOS devices A DAY!!!

That's just insane. When they've sold 67 million iPads since the launch two years ago, what chance do competitors stand?

I have just heard a little secret from someone who works with Apple and she whispered in my ear that the screen will be 'Polymer glass'. It does seem iPhone 5 could be coming despite of the 4S not long been out.

On current form no chance at all but the pressure is on Apple to keep this up.

That rumour has been floating around for a bit. The technology won't be ready for June nor would the new Qualcomm modem that Apple need to enable LTE in the iPhone. So like everybody and his dog is saying the iPhone 5 will be in Autumn or Fall if you're an American!!!

I heard November time release.

So you've basically heard nothing then.

I don't know? I took no notice for once but it keeps getting whispered annoying the hell out of me! lol

You've got 5Dmk3s to buy and play with first - that'll tide you over

It's nearly May. June isn't far away.

What will happen to the iP4S when the 5 gets released? It would be too close for comfort to sell the 4s at a lower price surely.

They'll have to sell it for less, or nobody will buy it...
