Well, first, remember that WWDC stands for WorldWide Developers Conference. Another important thing to remember is that WWDC is scheduled to occur between june 8th and 12th. Last thing, Steve Jobs isn’t presenting the new products, Schiller, Paul Schiller will present them; Steve Jobs’s come-back will occur in the end of june. But, guess what. According to Gene Munster, a Piper Jaffray tech analyst, there won’t be an introduction of a new iPhone during the WWDC.
While some investors may be expecting Apple to launch redesigned iPhones at WWDC, we do not anticipate the launch in early June. Rather, we expect Apple to host a special event in late June or early July to launch a family of iPhones. We continue to expect multiple models, possibly a high-end iPhone with improved specs from the current version and a low-end version with lower capacity and fewer features along with a reduced pricing plan. Such a model could also be used in Apple’s launch of the iPhone into China as soon as the end of summer ‘09. [Source]
So, what’ll happen ? I’ll say that Schiller will give us the precise date of Snow Leopard’s release and he’ll talk more about the iPhone 3.0 OS. But, Mr. Munster, I have something to say. Is it in Apple’s customs to release different models of the same product ? I mean, yes, of course, for Macs and iPods, but for iPhones ? Actually, there are two different answers.
- No, Apple would never do that.
- Yes, Apple will release different models of iPhones to challenge big brands such as Nokia in emerging countries and they’ll rule the world with the iPhone.
Finally, the iPhone 3 (not the OS, the hardware) is very unlikely to appear during the WWDC but wait, there’s gonna be some good stuff. Anyway, if you want more rumors about the Apple, follow this link.
